She propped up on her elbows. Glimmer was not a hard woman to make cry, especially at this vulnerable time. She slid onto her knees and took his hand, her pale hand in contrast to his tan one. She then used him as a leverage to get flat onto her feet, which took her a moment to become steady. She wobbled a little but when she straightened her legs this time, she wobbled no longer. Glimmer looked down at her straightened legs and then beamed at Sinead with abundant, unspeakable joy. She then took a step, arms still spread for balance and she walked. She slowly took one foot in front of the other, giggling when she took about five steps. It wasn't long before she was walking, without her arms, with good balance.
After a moment of walking, she wanted to try talking and walking at the same time. "Sinead, when do you claim a female?" Her meaning was as blunt as a steel bat. She could have essentially asked when he would claim her. "Is it when you first meet them or... Are the stars not in line for mating season yet?"
She then bit her lip. "You don't eat the females of your kind, do you?" She asked and looked over at Sinead, stopping her walk to gaze upon him with slight concern.
