Neverwinter Forest Darkness devours every shining day

She expected the unexpected now, considering Dany's gross overreaction. She braced herself, waiting for the white she-wolf to refuse to leave or perhaps even get in her face. Instead, she spat a few choice words at Turquoise—which made the black fur along her spine prickle, despite the unjust nature of the Rho's words—and then stalked off into the distance.

"May I remind you," she said hollowly to herself, only for her voice to rise in a sudden shout that would likely carry to Dany's distant ears, "We don't even know each other! You're a crazy bitch!" It felt good to yell this, at least for a moment.

Then Turq began to feel annoyed at the entire situation, then decidedly very weary. She kicked the rest of the rabbit away into the bushes, then slumped down inside the den. She told herself to forget it because she and Dany had only met once and certainly didn't know each other nearly well enough to justify the Rho's bewildering words and actions. For these very reasons, however, Turq stewed in her sick bed, agitated by Dany's extreme reaction.

"Dodged that bullet," Turquoise muttered under her breath at length, feeling herself drifting toward sleep. "Let it go, súile gorm. You have better things to think about," she reminded herself. In that instant before she went under, her lips uncurled from their unhappy frown to a curl of delight when she thought of Rivet.
