Blacktail Deer Plateau I'm feelin' like a summerbreeze

Minori dropped her gaze unsure still if her words had been taken offensively. It was mean she realised, to assume someone was weak just because they had a weakness. She was mean....but she already knew that. She didn't used to be this way, so cold and nasty toward others, but one major blow to her heart and she had closed up completely. She looked up at Liri's expression of gratitude, relieved that this time she hadn't been coming across as mean. She watched the Alphess blink rapidly, her eyes widening. Had she...were those tears? She felt her pelt heat up and she ducked her head, unsure how to act now. She could ruin the interaction and say goodbye, or she could continue to be nicer then she had in a long while. "It wasn't a compliment, but the truth. Compliments are given when you seek favor." she said gruffly though her gaze was soft as she continued to look at Liri.
