I am the razor in the hands of your heart;
And I am the razor in the hands of God.
Evaline stared hard at the buckskin mare as she spoke, her usually wide and bright chocolate-colored eyes narrowed into slits as she studied her from behind her hardened and apathetic gaze. She was mad, blood boiling mad actually, under her golden pelt as the mare stumbled over some kind of apology. Evaline didn't know much about her, other than she was eager and obedient around Gabbar and that annoyed her. Maybe it was her old self starting to break through. Or maybe it was misplaced rage that came in the wake of depression. Either way, she was irrationally irritated about being disturbed, and by this mare in particular of all of the Dune's two other inhabitants, no less.
"That's it?" She said, following the thwack of her soaking wet, blonde tail whipping up to tag her just under her right hip. Golden lobes lay flat against her poll now. She looks away from Avangeline, swallowing hard in an effort to suppress the sudden wave of emotions that hit her so suddenly. Evaline could feel the joints in her legs shaking, but she didn't bother to stop her knees from bumping into one another as she shook.
For the first time in her life, Evaline was at a loss on how to work wit hthe hand she'd been dealt. She was survivor, a nimble, cunning and conniving mare, one who had fought hard for everything she'd ever had. She made the best out of every situation, even the ones she couldn't control, and her mind was always at work to improve her situation, to find her place of power. But not now, not here. She couldn't bring herself to do it all over again. And that made her despise Avangeline more. Her chipper personality. Her willingness to be of use. She hated it.
Evaline snorted and after some time, and finally returned her attention to Avangeline. The wind was howling now, the humid sea breeze reaching them and sending pebble-like sand particles to spray across their legs. "Don't you have something better to do?"
