Sunset Valley a very important date

Verse wasn't the type to be friendly with strangers - if anything, she'd grow more skeptical of them if they took any interest in her what-so-ever, such as now. The stranger introduced herself swiftly and got right down to business. She couldn't help thinking that her name was appropriately small for someone of such defiant character; it struck her that this girl was not just smaller but younger too. And she hoped to lay claim to some spit of land, become its leader? That took moxie.

Who are you? Kiwi asked in the same breath, and seemed to be sizing the Blackthorn up with a distinct lack of self-awareness; that or they just didn't care how it was perceived, and it looked as if Kiwi was impressed with what she saw. It made Vee feel weird. Like a piece of meat, or something covetous and desirable, but there was an underlying current of something nefarious there too. A spike in her anxiety that didn't play across her face in any regard, but pulsed inside of her at a soul-deep level. Verse was uncertain what to make of all this.

I'm nobody important. She stated cooly. It occurred to her as she spoke that it wasn't entirely true - that if she wanted to become someone important, this was her shot. So what if the girl looked to be too young. What was that about taking their home back? Was she seeing some kind of warrior where Verse was standing? My name is Keela, she finally admitted. Vee tucked her familial nickname close to her heart and decided not to share it.
