In reply to: Death 's message, "a truce?" on 12:18:03 11/13/02 Wed

*At the word "truce", one 'brow' quirked upwards skeptically. From her brief encounter with Death, she knew better than to take the words at face value and consider herself safe from attack. Licking her lips in a gesture of boredom, she watched Death steadily. No hint of emotion or thought could be seen through her impenetrable mask, but her mind raced, thoroughly relieved not to have to fight for her position of authority. She realized that to Death, she would always be "the other female" who had taken Dragon from her mother, no matter how unfair or completely untrue the accusation was. Shrugging it off, she took a breath, preparing for possibly her final statement on the matter*

Whether you consider me unworthy or not is neither here nor there. What matters is that Dragon obviously considered me worthy to help him run this territory and to be his mate. No other opinion particularly matters to me. Quite honestly, I am a bit wary of what you consider loyalty and respect for me. Since you know nothing of me, I find it highly unlikely that you would immediately pledge your allegience to one you had previously called unworthy. Again, that is of no matter to me. I answer to no one but myself for my actions, and thus far there had been no complaint about me...

*A small sneer marred her muzzle*

...with the obvious exception of Naraku. He'd say the sky was green if I tried to say it was blue.

*Shaking her head in bemusement, she waited for an explosion of temper. She knew that by speaking her mind, by honestly expressing her thoughts, she ran the risk of provoking the youth to violence. Aided by wisdom and experience, she wasn't worried about that occurance, only about how it would affect Dragon. She planned to start out as she meant to carry on... with complete honesty, no holds barred, and no tiptoeing around Death, despite who her mother was and where she came from. She had tangled with Naraku before and come out no worse for the wear... she could weather this new storm*
