Queen of everything? Those words bounced around in her head. Also that fact that he spoke her name, not women, wench, bitch, hey you. Her NAME! What an amazing change it has been. She wanted so badly to perk up and just bounce around, talk like no one could shut her up and inside her eyes you could tell she was itching to do just that. A shy smile surrounds her face and she averts her eyes in slight embarrassment, not sure why but she was. Latika had been the Queen of speech back when, hell it was hard to shut her up or to get her spirit's down, the subtle flick of the tip of her tail was an indicator that maybe she would recover from her trauma faster than she thought possible.
"Queen of everything does have a nice ring to it huh?" The child like giggle comes out and almost shocks her into silent, really Latika is this the change that will scare you now? Hell, she would take being taken back by her own reactions than from others. Although she was still cautious, Brutus being a male and all, parts of her wanted to open up, to trust and enjoy his company instead of having this fear of something happening. Brutus showed no signs of that though, in fact he was quite nice and a pleasure to have as company, could it be? No, no no. Inside she shook her head, she was just joshing herself. The stark reality that she might be changing to her old self was beyond wonderful.
Her eager eyes watched his face as he turned it up towards the sky, with his single brow raised. Was that a stupid question? Her own brows crinkled with worry to this thought and her ears lowered but once Brutus spoke like night and day her face changed to be a happy go lucky girl. Hs excitement filled her own body and she danced a bit on her toes. Her tail now gave a full wag, though still not as exuberant as it could be. Her quizzical features glanced towards Brutus. "uh" Hush tones come from her throat and she scans the ground as if what they could potentially hunt would be in front of her. Trying to remember what she liked as a pup seemed almost nonexistent. Squirrels and Moles were totally out of the question since that had been her meal for the past year or so, she scrunched her face up a bit in disgust "Defiantly not Squirrel or Moles" Shaking her head as she spoke. "Fish or Rabbit does sound good." The saliva in her mouth began to grow and she extended her tongue out a bit and swallowed, her stomach was now itching for food that wasn't a vermin. Latika hoped her muscle memory would not fail her, she could become quite embarrassed very quickly and especially more so infront of a group and even MORE so infront of boys. Escpecially boys who where very nice to her.
