The return study didn't bother her, sitting there with a raised brow waiting for his assessment to be finished. There was something always so arrogant about dragonriders when they stood watching a person, not that she minded usually but she was already a little annoyed by his critique of her drawings. She might have admitted he was right but she didn't have to like it. "I can't say that you're wrong," she snorted with a shake of her head.
"A joke is better than flipping your shit about it," she continued with a shrug. Most people, usually women, didn't appreciate when Maliah called them beastie. It wasn't like she was saying they were ugly but they never let her get that far with explanations. What could she do? Couldn't control the way she made people feel, that was their problem and not hers after all. She used to care about it, mostly for her mother and sibling's sake, but now.. Now she'd been given a taste of freedom and there was no going back for Maliah.
"Being Stubby might be the only memorable thing about me," she smirked at him with flashing green eyes, "But at least I don't have wrinkles." She punctuated the words by raising her hand to touch between her eyes lightly. "Oh dear, dear," she tsked with sympathy, "And here I thought dragonriders stopped aging when they impressed."
