there's fire in your blood
 | Mazikeen’s grin turns into a quiet laugh when she thinks she sees disappointment in Aela at the mentioning of Yanhua and his chicken. How sweet it was, not to know her relations. Where her father was she wasn’t sure and Mazikeen had made Agetta not to visit any more after her mother found her broken by the lake. Any siblings were hazy faces, scattered meetings. Long before Gale had carved her into something new, she had been wrapped up in her own world - the family she created in Hyaline.
“I think I’ll enjoy being owed a debt from you.” Aela with her sharp eyes and similar views on her family - it hasn’t taken long to see that the palomino was an interesting mare and would undoubtedly be a good connection to have.
What use did Mazikeen have of favours and debts, though? This is the first time she’s drawn herself out of Hyaline in a long time, and she never did have an interest in playing politics or alliances. She didn’t even bother with the other lands connected to Hyaline - more than content to leave them alone so long as they did not bother her.
She is unaccustomed to this game and undecided on whether she should care to play or not.
It would be foolish to brush aside Aela’s offer but Mazikeen cannot quite stop the way her eyes dance and the corner of her mouth twitches when she adds “But any information that would ruin Nashua’s day is free.”
