By the time Aylin really started to explore Diamond's 'second mouth', Diamond was busy staring blankly at the horizon. Her body would twitch every now and then, but she didn't make a sound and her expression didn't change.
'Natchia watched it all with his arms crossed loosely and a faintly amused expression. There was always a chance that the girl would find one of Diamond's buttons while she was poking around. That would be amusing. Diamond's armor wasn't anywhere near impenetrable, her expression once she realized this inexperienced girl was able to break through her wall would be a delightful epicaricacy.
That didn't happen. Diamond was still staring blankly ahead by the time Aylin had enough and plopped on the ground to lick her fingers. Since she was so busy, now would be a good time to pick up where she left off. 'Natchia walked around behind Diamond, sliding his hands up her forearms. They were just to her shoulders, his fingers closing around them, when Aylin stood up and announced that she didn't have to pee anymore and that she was taking Diamond back with her.
Flaring his nostrils wasn't the best course of action then. It was one of his usual tics when he was irritated, but ages of controlling his facial features helped keep him from flaring his nose and checking to see how hydrated Aylin was. Letting Diamond go was probably for the best, he was up to the top of his throne in issues. Besides, it wasn't like this new person was going to make sure Diamond was comfortable, so it would work out.
'Natchia cupped Diamond's chin, turning her face toward him and nuzzling her ear. After a second her eyes widened, fists clenched, knees twitched and Diamond nearly jumped out of her skin. Pulling herself out of 'Natchia's grip and taking a step back toward the wagon, she crossed her arms, huffed and inspected her boots for a second.
Just as 'Natchia was getting ready to get out of there, the girl Aylin was asking for his watch. "You cannot have my watch," he answered, drawling the words a little and smirking as he put a hand in his pocket and blinked away.
"Asshole," Diamond growled softly, kicking the grass in front of her hard enough to send a few clumps soaring through the air. She glared at them as they fell back to the ground and turned to the wagon.
E. moved away from his spot at the corner of the window, curling up and shutting his eye just enough to make it look like he was asleep. It would take Diamond about an hour to fall asleep, more or less. Then he could make his move.
