Indivara giggled gleefully as she jerked back away from Jada’s snippy fingers, eyes sparkling in amusement, and emotion further fuelled by the woman’s squealing and batting away of the handkerchief. A wicked smirk played upon Indivara’s lips, despite her attempt to play at innocence as she fluttered her lashes. “I don’t want it,” she added, her amusement belied by her voice. “It’s yours,” and wasn’t that ever the important thing, as long as Indivara didn’t actually want whatever the subject matter happened to be!
“It is a brilliant name!” Indivara countered extravagantly, throwing her arms up and wide while the firelizard slept in her lap. Blood Sucker gave a squeak of surprise, then chittered his amusement as Indivara laughed happily. “Oh, come now!” Indivara stared at Jada in horror, not all of it put on as she leaned forward delicately and arched an eyebrow at her companion. “What would the boys think, if I started running around with Sunny or Queenie or buttercup?!” Honestly! It wasn’t even worthy of capitalisation and Indivara’s horrified tone made that much clear.
What the boys thought was (ultimately) easily over powered by her fists – but Indivara had never explicitly gone out of her way to bring their teasing down upon her. That came naturally, what with her being who she was, from her personality to her gender to her itty bitty height to her lack of breasts to actually having them to start with. Indivara just couldn’t win, and she wasn’t going to add fuel to the fire! That was for sure. Shit Head and Blood Sucker were fine names, when you considered one spent half of one’s time in the company of obnoxious weyrbrats who spent the first part of their life out only Faranth knew where with a single parent.
The fact that the other half of Indivara’s time was spent in the company of various well ranked individuals, from young goldriders to whatever bronze and brown were fluttering around them to her passing interactions with the Weyrleader. If one considered that, than one should probably name their firelizard something more dignifying; but even then, Indivara did not consider ‘Buttercup’ to be at all dignifying. “Can you imagine what they’d do to me?!” Indivara bemoaned, dramatically clasping both hands to her chest as she stared pitifully up at Jada.
Oh, it was hard, her lot of friends! Indivara giggled deviously.
