Sawtooth Spire Step into your power.

ears flick forth in surprise at the low rumble to seep forth from her company, having been too preoccupied in herself to notice his budding frustration at her words. eyes narrow slightly, not having wanted to upset him but aware of the instinctive pick up of her heartbeat the moment it was exposed to any sort of aggression. her "kindness" was always kept on quite the restrictive, short leash by an ever increasing temper.

yet considering the fact that he didn't progress with anything else, in hindsight her words perhaps hadn't been the easiest to digest and she needed his help- she doesn't give in to the want to express a warning flash of her own teeth and siding that narrow of inky orbs, she remains immaculate in her disposition.

her shoulders roll back as she bites back an exasperated sigh, frowning deeply at what he says. "clearly" she presses, "i just wanted to know had he told you anything specific i wasn't trying to make you out to be a liar" and had she not been so desperate to keep him here, she would've gone on to chide him for being so sensitive. ironically due to nothing more than the monster's who raised her having decided sensitivity was a pet peeve of theirs and they must beat it out of everyone at any cost; funny that, how one could subconsciously pick up quirks from even their tormentors if they proved to be a big enough influence on any part of their life. yet here she stood having admitted to not trusting this boy in case he displayed acts of what she'd just wished to do, such little things would piece together intricate, bitter ironies. 

yet she cannot supress the sharp breath to whilstle from clenched jaws at his next woeful claim. "i don't know what to say to you; family is a hard thing to shake. nothing about it's going to be fair and if you wish to not be your father it's going to be hard to convince others and it'll be frustrating as hell but if you care enough you'll work to escape his shadow and if you don't...well then anyone was right to suspect you. it's really up to you" a slow blink, she wasn't completely void of pity for the ruffled boy it just wasn't the highest thing on her list of priorities right now and stress tended to make her sharper. yet the words hadn't been spoken unkindly either and a more weary exhale breaks forth at his final blow.

her gaze shifts off to some indirect point of the mountains, ignoring the sting as the rain struck with increasing strength at her face. "no" she mumbled, softer now- distracted. "i believe if anything she may have cared too much" as big a problem as the other in her opinion. shifting her weight she glances back to her shadowy companion. "sorry i didn't seek you out to lecture you just....in regards to here where is blackfeather?" there, it was out and there was no going back. yet after having wished to find somone she could present this question to and get a proper answer from for so long, now that it's out it does little to alleviate the hollow burn in her chest.
