"It's a gift. Turn End. Holiday. Name Day. Congratulations, you're old!" Jada's voice was bright with cheer, her eyes wide with alarm, and Krypth made an amused noise, rubbing her massive face against Indivara's head. "And can you see anyone but you trying to refer to her by that kind of name?" the Harper shook her head, giving a dramatic sigh. "It's alright," she told the sleeping little firelizard, "I'll just nickname you Precious."
Indi's precious shit head. the Queen's voice was droll- and a little snippy. Really, that Jada, getting all gooey over the name of a firelizard. Stupid Jada. Not that Krypth was suffering from jealousy. Not even the smallest bit. Nope. Stupid Jada.
"They might think you're being feminine." Jada ignored Krypth's disgruntlement, quirking an eyebrow at Indivara. "Or growing up. You're sixteen turns now, aren't you? Thereabouts?" At sixteen Jada had been walking the tables and preparing for a career. Indivara was still naming her firelizards Blood Sucker and Shit Head. It was something hard for the older woman to wrap her mind around, in some ways. Indivara, however, had a career goal that Jada couldn't have even dreamed about in her position.
Then again, compared to Indivara, Jada had also grown up incredibly privileged. Indivara's formative years had been in a jungle, where kidnapping was the norm.
