In her frazzled state, she expected a coy rebuttal from him. If he chose to joust, she knew she would be too tired to be witty- it was the perfect opportunity for him to jab at a knight without a shield. And yet- he did not take it.
It felt like the ground had been pulled out beneath her. She had built him up to be a tormenter, and yet he replied without making a jab. She felt robbed- and confused as to whether she should be snobbish in her reply.
Now, it would only feel wrong.
Did that make her a bully?
The name Druid meant nothing to her, and it showed in the blank expression on her face. Her features softened slightly at the mention of Heda’s name, though she couldn’t help but squint slightly. He didn’t spit her name the way he had before, but the faint lift of his whiskers showed that some resentment lingered still.
She sighed softly. ”I know dis,” Her brother would never turn down the opportunity to help someone. She regarded him for a moment, and found the corner of her lip quirking. ”’E came to ‘elp dem, dat be very Eti for sure. You, though,” she said. Some of her tiredness lifted when she considered for perhaps the first time that Anselm might actually have a redeeming quality. ”You are loyal, to go wid ‘im when you do not seem to like Heda at all,” She said casually, as if only a passing observation.
Suzy liked fishing; it was one of the things that she did exceptionally well.
