Cerulean Cape hey-- i was doing just fine before i met you

The song instantly gave the shadow a target for her rage: Engel. For a few beats she seethed silently, not moving an inch, but then-- then something snapped, in a quiet way, like the breaking of the last thread holding a rope. She was so tired of being irritated by him. The Messeda girl wanted to keep her new pet more than she wanted to be angry-- and just like that, she wasn't.
Tine relaxed, quietly let out a breath she hadn't known she'd been holding, and tried to focus on the words of the song. Engel's singing still wasn't particularly pleasant to her, but she couldn't find the will anymore to hate it so fervently. She wondered if this would last, or if it was only a temporary break.
But her pet was here to be enjoyed, wasn't he? Presently it seemed that he got more enjoyment from this than she did; the Messeda girl knew that would change eventually, she knew she had to be patient with this game, but... she did want to enjoy the ride. At least a little. It would be an effort with Engel, but Tine was far too stubborn to give up so early.
