The Sentinels the salty seas behind the eyes

Honored :*)

Akantha looked at her in a manner similar to how Indie looked at others: as if she knew their kind and already knew much about them, just from looks. It was a skill Indie admired, to be able to read situations and assess them accurately for what they were. Akantha looked at her an understood her zest and passion with which she would use to achieve her goals; the application of which would be to further the best interest of the Nereides.

Yes, Akantha was good at reading her because that was exactly what Indie aimed to do.

Akantha spun a tale of her culture and religion - it was one that she had herd before from Cathenna, but her silver friend spoke with brevity and left out many details, all of which Akantha spoke of quite freely. These were the most words that Akantha had ever shared with Indie and the chanteuse was so delighted that if she had hands instead of paws, she would have clapped them together.

“Oh wow,” Indie sighed when Akantha concluded her diatribe. How vivid! How stupendous! Oh how Donovan would be jealous that she got to spend her time with such colorful characters and he that couldn’t join her to watch. Indie quite liked to make him jealous, though, as such competitive passions frove them and lit their fires — but she thought that he truly might enjoy this all and wanted to share it with him. 

Such competitiveness also caused her to give a small grimace at the word neophyte, as if she was a baby. Indie did wish to climb the ladder of Nereides social order if only to rid herself of the title. She much preferred the title of siren. or harpy. high priestess sounded good, too. and becoming close friends to the Nereides leader was the first step to that end goal — it certainly helped that Indie somewhat genuinely liked the woman.

“Can I count on you for such guidance, Akantha? You've taught me so much already.”

Indie always had been a student and Indie would forever be a student, as she greatly enjoyed learning from everyone around her and picking and choosing all the best parts to reflect within herself. She admired knowledge and wished to have it all; for Indie was a smart woman and knew it would behoove her not to only make friends but to learn everything about her friends that she possibly could. Indie liked to know their secrets and their quirks; which she sometimes put to bad use but it was always with good intentions. Indie never purposefully wanted to hurt people with her games and faces, but sometimes there was collateral damage; Indie just liked power and became frustrated when it did not become hers easily.
