She regarded him with neither fear nor fealty, but an innate sense of mistrust in anyone that wasn’t blood which was only compounded further as he unveils a toothy smile that spoke more than all the words to follow. Silently she let him ramble on, intrigued by his manner but finding his speech rather… boring. He thought much of himself despite having been alive just as long as she and she wondered how he came by such self-importance. When he finally seems finished her head rises slightly, cocking to the side to focus on his white muzzled face and she lets the silence fill the air for a moment, then two. She wanted to see what he would do in the silence. Would he seek to fill it only further? Or perhaps he would feel awkward as told by a shifting of his weight. She is patient and can wait as she fixes him with her even gaze.

Finally her gray mottled tail twitches and she raises her narrow features to be on the same level of his own. “Fear is only detrimental if you allow it to control you. To fear is natural, to cower is not” He was stupid to fear nothing, lack of fear could get you killed quick and easy but it did not mean that fear had to rule your life. Each word is short and precise, her teeth clicking against them with her light tone, perhaps a bit lacking in rhythm. Sitting down she is careful not to move backward from him, merely repositioning for comforts sake, if chose to go on standing there like the king of the world then that was on him. “Just because I do not parade around does not mean I keep myself away. I waste words only on those deserving of them. No more no less.”

It was something she had inherited from her mother, though Nari had never had a choice in the matter. Words were not often necessary when the body could tell you much more in just a glance. Still it seemed this boy had garnered enough interest that she did not just walk away. “Who are you to request so much from me?” she asked finally, though either way she would be asking her brother about him later.
