@Val.
A leader, now, the only man among the high rankings of Sapphique. To say curiosity plagued Maleah would have been an understatement. She had seen him, yes, many times, but could not recall holding his attention for very long, nor he hers. He held Mireille's children and laughed with them as if they were his own. Was that what made him trustworthy?
She approaches the roja den with a freshly caught bluegill ensnared between her jaws. An offering, of some kind, she thought; why did this make her nervous? Warmth blooms within her chest and she cannot seem to keep her feet still. When was the last time she had spoken, directly, to a man — a man her own age, no less? A man who did not seek carnage?
