the crone had not expected rosalyn to darken the grotto's mouth -- nor did she expect to hear the words the mutilated woman uttered -- on her threshold? the sylph's ears pulled back (or, really, one good ear did -- the other did a sad rotation that was hardly worth calling movement) in surprise she did not bother to hide.
rosalyn had been many things to caiaphas -- and never once, was it a friend. but the woman that stood besides her and loved her with a harlot's fierce abandon was closer to friend to caiaphas than most were. she had never been the kind to accept well-meaning gratitude gracefully -- hell, very little about caiaphas was graceful, including her tact.
i did not do it for you, she nearly growled -- but her lips remained firmly pursed. wait -- was she learning?
playing any emotion so close to her sleeve save hatred or rage made the siren queen uncomfortable. concealing this, she simply shrugged off the gratitude with a reply more in line with what rosalyn was deserving of. "hmm, welcome. erzulie is a good asset - you too, when you are not so ... chewed up. they will pay, you know."

this house was my flowered heart,
but my petals have fallen.
