and, clearly, although she had not much of an ego, there was some remnant of what may have been one that the scarred man calling her strong was practically enough to have her grinning cheek-to-cheek. she would not shy away, would not turn her face, rather she would permit his view of just how appreciative she was of such a compliment. and it was true! rala thought herself to be strong - not the type to be insecure, afterall. but to have it confirmed was sweet. she found herself enjoying the company of this southern beau more and more, clearly portrayed by her tail swaying cheerfully behind her.
and! he was quick to shoot down any possible apology for her talkativeness. her heard beat like the thundering ocean waves within her chest, smile almost permanent, etched upon her maw. for a moment, it felt that it would never leave her. at least, not until this man, dolce, left her memory - and that would take quite a long while.
and because she could not hold her truth forever, she broke:

- i ... am not sure, yet,it was not a complete lie, and yet part of her soul hurt when she said it. although, she thought that if she was true, and told him of her search for a husband, he may find such a thing strange. a breath was drawn, then.
and because she could not hold her truth forever, she broke:
i wish for a family of my own,she said.

... friends. connections. i dislike being on my lonesome,and ... with a dry laugh:
the journey was hard.
