Akenu, with Marik perched around her neck, leaned against the palm of her hands as she patiently lip read the now furious Dram. She almost felt sorry for him; the woman knew she was scaring him with her questions, with her possession over the necklace. However, she knew better than to not take him seriously. There was a grim determination in his eyes and body language that let her knew he wasn't kidding. Akenu sighed. The sad thing was, he was probably right; he could very well beat her in a fight, though she considered herself pretty deadly, especially with her weapons. But she had had her fun as well as her answers. Besides, she was tired of talking.
"So it's for personal reasons, more or less," she replied coolly as she removed the necklace, and set it down gently in front of him.
I hope you're happy.
Akenu gave a grim, disappointed smile and shook her head. She tossed to him his tunic, and mentioned towards her good cloak, which he was sitting on.
"Put your shirt back on and use that as you will for the night. I want it back in the morning, though," she warned quietly as she picked up her own stuff and shabbier cloak.
"Good night."
The woman slowly got rose to her feet, and sat in the shadow of the den's entrence, pulling her knees up to her chin. She was exhausted, beyond it, but it would take her a while to fall asleep. Akenu rocked a bit in place. She needed this time to both think as well as to keep a quick look out. So much had happened that evening, so much...And all because he could his expensive trinket for whatever stupid reason? She didn't know why she was this upset- everything made sense, if she thought about it, hard enough. It didn't make it any less frustrating, though. Akenu moaned a little, a sound mixed with physical pain, frustration, and anger.
Stop acting like a baby, she mentally spat as Marik cooed, trying to cheer her up some. The woman gave her friend a small smile and pet his head, a little bit more comforted as her thoughts wondered off to more important things, like where she would go next and how she would get there.
