Barrier Gulch [m] Asp

not everyone is out to get you, eset! zaahira snaps back, whipping 'round to allow their gazes to meld together once again. i wanted to help you! all i have ever wanted to do is help you and care for you because i like you for who you are. i am not your enemy. i am not like them, i am not a-- a p-predator! i am not a man! and yet you turn me away because you, you-- you look at me the same way you look at them, and it hurts me. and i am; a breath, held tight in her chest; i am sorry for every way in which i have ever-- wronged or hurt you or disrespected you. but you could have talked to me about it, how you felt, instead o-of casting me aside like i am some animal! like i will never understand you, as if we both had not come here under the same circumstances for the same fucking reasons.
humiliation burns her features, tears collecting at the base of her jaw as she hiccups and turns yet again; this time to akavir. and you!
she reaches up with clenched knuckles and aims a strike right for his face.
you think you have some kind of fucking moronic barbarian claim on her, you worthless pig? you have no rights here. she does not need a man to save her, she does not need your protection, and she is not going anywhere with you! and if you don't shut your fucking mouth you will be lucky to leave akashingo with a head on your shoulders and a dick between your legs!
sekhmet, smouldering within her.
now, i am going to say this one. last. time. you are coming with me. walk.
