Raven's Watch treasure planet

did valmúa mean to say that her opinion was not worth as much as those of her brothers? teya caught the aggrieved undertone. shy as she might be, the splayed ears heard all and lips revealed nothing.
the girl wondered if her own presence here had been consulted. she could not imagine a moment in which this woman with her hard eyes and sculpted muzzle could ever command less than fear. 
humility. perhaps that was a better name for it. "i have no talent." something unsnarled for once, chiming with a naked note of misery. "if you, valmúa, say go, i go." she would rather defer to the redfox than be the source of wormwood between the siblings, and suddenly teya filled with the deepest urge to disappear from the watch that very night.
