to be looked at with irritation was... new. she was not sure how to take it.
but rihe- this was a name she knew. another in a myriad of faces; a dragon, and so nobility of some sort. she glanced again to the den. she had not known there were to be more children, but the interest that had led her here disappeared at the thought. that was all it was? she was content enough with her own siblings.
if she had been invited, her mother would have summoned her, rather than leaving them all with their attendants. this was obvious.
she exhaled sharply through her nose. whatever went into the birthing of new life, shuyan could not imagine it to be particularly exciting.
there was something to the other girl's voice, an undercurrent that made her fur want to bristle even though she could not place it. the young dragon regarded her with glittering eyes and shrugged. "don't want to be," she said. "why do you?"
