Ankyra Sound Pepsi: We Created the Moon and We Will Eventually Destroy It

something seems to frustrate the other and ali frowns whilst watching the paler fur along her back bristle slightly. had she offended her? she doesn't see how that's possible as she goes back over the words they'd exchanged. nope, nothing stands out to her like okay she'd shouted at her but that'd been agesss ago now like surely they'd moved on from that. her mouth is already opening- ready to question the reaction for of course it fails to cross her mind that of course the girl might not have actually been thinking of her in particular. however mallaidh is saved as a small coughing fit intrudes and ali is left spluttering for a few moments.

her ears lay back against her head when she straightens again- teal gaze instantly appearing sharp and defensive should her ability to look after herself be questioned. sure she had a bit of a cough, no big fucking deal. narrowed eyes drop to the ground as she rubs one creamy paw with another in a small sign of unease. okay it's not even that she means to act like such a bitch, from what she can tell she actually quite likes mallaidh so far but that's exactly the problem. she doesn't want to be thought of as weak, she didnt want the other girl to feel obliged to help or speak to her. the mere thought causes her jaw to clench as she continues to study the dark blades of grass tickling at her pads.

her eyes lift again to the pretty fae's dark face as she speaks, confirming that it is indeed her pack. for now it is easy enough to push back the confusing rush of emotion and slip back into the her she was comfortable with and her mouth turns upwards in an attempted grin as she expressed how she too loved the ocean. "it's breathtaking" she murmurs simply, smile lingering on her lips as she remembers clinging to the cliff's edge and allowing the sharp air to roll in off the waves and through her golden pelt. "i wonder is there more out there huh?" she wonders aloud, it was a thought that had been nagging at the back of her mind ever since finding the edge of the world and once again she felt that weird kick deep in her gut, an almost ache at the stark realisation as to how trapped they all were on what now seemed like a much smaller little universe. 

she shakes her head slightly, as if to clear it and focuses back in on mallaidh. she's speaking about her home again and ali follows her gaze to where she motions to. at the words the grin upon her maw gathers strength as eyes glitter with a hint of mischief. "wanna bet?" her tail wags slightly as she watches on, it was a good way to perhaps get closer to the pack without exactly asking to right? another breeze causes the branches overhead to sway and too brings a stronger scent of the girl to her. at that she blinks thoughtfully, hadn't she smelt that before? her head tilts slightly as she wracks her brain for it and oh of course! "i met a girl from your pack before" she blurts. what was the name again..."max! i mean her name was max yes" it hadn't been the longest of meetings but she could still recall the stormy night, especially considering how she had almost walked off a cliff. fucking hell like.

@Max , gonna presume her and ali would've exchanged names at some point during their interaction- hope that's okay and if not lemme know <3
