fierce thoughts rolled through her midn as the girl awoke, but she easily kept her voice and face calm.
Quote from: Tianever mind then Blake, the girl is awake.
Tia made to checking the girl's eyes - not that she could tell if anything was wrong short of if a lot of red was showing - but she had to trick these two kids. she could kill them, surely, but... well, its much nicer to have two people working with you than two dead people on your hands.
Quote from: Tianow. you two have some explaining. any threats I made against either of you were done so in defense. now i want to know whats going on that you immediately resort to violence and attacking without waiting.
she pulled the girl up by her arm, and sat her in a chair. for two reasons.
one:
Quote from: Tiaalright girl, just sit down, we still don't know what caused your little fainting spell there.
two: the girl was close to Tia. not the boy. she was timid; she wouldn't make a run for it without the boy to protect her; he wouldn't run without the girl.
if her guess was right. it was a long time since she knew other people, but most species that mated for life that sheknew would sooner die than abandon the mate.
she sat down next to the girl, being gentle and careful; perhaps it would even prove to calm the boy, but the girl was more likely than not to find a gentle hand calming at the moment.
Quote from: Tiawe'll have to do somethign about that cut on your face.
she made her voice slightly harder, enough command mixed in with the sudden gentleness. at the least the boy would be shocked. the girl might take it that she was unconscious for a while.
Quote from: Tianow, mind telling me a little something about the state of the world, and why you thought to not give me a chance to do anythign before assaulting me?
