Firefly Glen Story; two.

Mira stiffened like a brick wall when the sweet nickname was called out, and briefly her head swerved robotically right and left to assess if there was some other she might call darling. Mira was no darling. But the glen was empty save the two of them, and the next words only made this more disturbing. Mira stood her ground even as Priapus might move closer- this was her turf, her family's turf, and she saw no reason to flee it. No. Mother resides on the mountain. Mira shared evenly, not a tremor of fear in her words. The serpent knew nothing of insanity, delusion- thus this female's behavior perplexed her entirely.
