A snarl bubbled up her throat but Tarlaka bit it back. She was not an animal. Only animals protected their young so violently. But dammit, Tarlaka didn't want someone else taking care of her daughter! Tarlaka could only roll her eyes at the girls explanation. Of course, when she wasn't working her ass off to prefect her fighting skills, why not bathe a few babies? She could only raise an eyebrow at this persons excuse. Tarlaka knew hygiene was important to babies, having watched her mother raise her little sister, Tarlaka knew all these things. Just because she didn't know how to do it, didn't mean that she didn't know it was important. Letting out a puff of breath, Tarlaka just watched Shion.
"Of course you grew up around that. I'm more than sure almost all the possible knights help take care of their neighbours children, it's very important, you know. Learning how to keep babies clean." Her voice was heavily laced with sarcasm, of course the word village struck a cord. No way in hell would she be a knight in a village, village did not scream status and talent... It screamed country bumpkin. Tarlaka shook her head slightly and pushed a loose wisp of blue hair behind her pointed ear.
Smirking, Tarlaka leaned back slightly, her black clothed arms crossing over her chest and her eyebrow raised at Shion. Black wings tucked tightly to her back, using them slightly as a cushion against the wall, of course it made the lower joints ache, but at the moment, that was the last thing on her mind.
"I'm afraid Adela is a very well protected Kingdom. Even when our king is gone we manage to survive, of course we've had a few falls, but I'm no political leader." Leering slightly, Tarlaka looked up and down Shion, looking at her as a fighter, as a warrior. She looked like a lean young man with huge tumors on his chest. Pursing her lips, Tarlaka eyed Shions breasts for a moment and then shook her head. "You'll have to wrap up your breasts, like me." Tarlaka motioned to her own chest, which was by no means flat - Binding them that much hurt while she was nursing - but weren't as flopping as Shions. "And you'll have to live in the barracks. You may be a knight were you're from, but you're not a knight here until Akk..Until King Akkiel says so. I have no say in it, so don't sweet talk me."
A quick nod and Tarlaka turned around and entered the room again.
"Seiteki! What are you doing!? Don't chew on him!!" Wide eyed, her wings open slightly and puffing up in distress, Tarlaka gentle pried Daithi from her daughters drooling mouth. Chewing on her lip, Tarlaka left one hand to be gnawed on by her daughter, a knuckle, which Seiteki happily drooled on.
"Daithi?" Tarlaka shook her hand slightly, worried that her daughter had killed him by drowning him in drool. "Are you okay?" Okay, no more making the fairy watch her daughter, if he survived...
