the beauty and the beast

Her own little eyes danced across his face as he lowered himself to face her. His eyes were suprisingly big and the wrinkles around his eyes created an interesting pattern for her to look at. She barely even turned her head to face her brother when the names were being exchanged. Gali, she liked it.

Before she could yell out a greeting she had learned when meeting Shadow, the runaway guy, the peppered male spoke on his own. She little fire babe lost her mind when the stranger pronounced her name. Without wasting another second she jumped up and gave the older male a broad smile that exposed her collection of pearly daggers.

But if she had though that him saying her name was amusing she hadn't seen the best of it. When he commented on her pretty looks the girl looked at the ground briefly before puffing up her chest --as if the compliment had been absorbed into her chest. While her pronunciation might not be top notch, her quick ability to recognize words was outstanding. After the ego boost provided Maera tried to sniff the old man's huge paws but he was distracted by Val who suggested a game.

Hey! She wanted to play too!
She jerked her head back and forth from Val to Gali, her little round eyes blinking at each of them with curiosity. "Wrrrrrresl me" she hissed while beginning to shake her booty little worm-like tail.
