Shadewood Perdoname Mi Amor

As soon as she appeared the childish sulking melted away and there stood the snake she expected. Her eyes scanned over his weakened body and she scoffed though she secretly made note of how he oozed confidence, charm and incredible sex. Her reaction was to bare her fangs and take a menacing step forward to match his "Not a step closer, Snake" she hissed ears flattening back against her skull. She swallowed thickly, disgusted with herself for even noticing the charm. He was lucky Cry had showed up when he did otherwise she would have attacked. 

She let Higoro speak before turning to Cry. Cry had spotted her skill and immediately said he needed her, if he thought her skills were helpful he would surely want the man who was her second. The history between them was not a reason to prevent the Keep from growing stronger. "He was my second in command. We have bad history and I recommend he be watched for a while but...." she hesitated her heart racing as she panicked over what she was doing. She took a step backwards and then froze, steeling her resolve "but I recommend you consider him. He was a good soldier" there was a pained edge to the word was and she flashed Higoro a baleful look before dipping her head to Cry "Don't let my history prevent Shadewood from becoming great" she said and closed her jaw, lips trembling as she avoided looking at Higoro, sure she would see a smile look on his face. He would think she did this for him but he would be wrong....right? 


She had felt saddened by his appearance, remembering a golden eyed samurai with rippling muscle. He looked so...beaten down. She pitied him...and perhaps to make her own ego go up and feel like a great person she had vouched for his spot so he wouldn't die. She wasn't happy he was around at all but the memories he caused to surface brought so many mixed emotions, a lot of them bittersweet and sadly nostalgic. It was like the wound was reopened and made fresh again and along with it her feelings resumed being confused. She would never let him know it though as she was loyal to Issun and she loved him, she was bearing his children for hecks sake! She could never revisit memories and old feelings even though a dark part of her wanted to be able to goof around and be how she used to with Higoro. She snuck a glance at him and for the briefest of seconds her expression became fearful. She feared him, she feared what he made her yearn for.
