When Nejerc bespoke Aparicus again, she had to drag her big round eyes that were momentarily debating fleeing again or crying more away from Lorenuo and back to Nejerc. Blinking at him, she looked first at her lizard then at the stick in his hands. “Why would Talian gift me anything? H-he was mad at me… at us.” She said softly, though her eyes watched the stick twirl in his fingers. Twice now she’d gifted the healer with a bundle of the same cinnamon sticks to add flavor to his Klah, once as a thank you gift and once as an apology. She couldn’t think of anyone else who would even have cinnamon sticks to give back to her.
Did that mean Talian was forgiving her?
Again her eyes moved off Nejerc and to her lizard as he started letting out a string of angry warbles at the two men and spreading his wings as if to make himself seem larger. Mouth dropping open in a large ‘O’, she quickly uncurled herself to scoop him back up and pin him to her stomach before quickly reaching out and snatching up the stick from Nejerc just in case that was what the bronze was finding so threatening, extra careful to grab it from the very end where her fingers wouldn’t brush his.
“His name is Cinnamon… not Mr. Fish.” She said softly, as she rocked a little, shushing at the lizard as she glanced back up at the two men.
