A confident smile tugs on the corners of her lips as she looks up to him. Not really because he amazes here – although she cannot say he is not attractive – but simply because he is so goddamn tall. She’s awaiting a reply, an answer to her question. If she got one, she could tell him about her home, and convince him to come with her to live there too, easy as that. However, Igni is not prepared for the reaction she got.
Adorable? It takes the blue roan girl aback, surprising her, and she can only blink her eyes a few times in return. She honestly doesn’t understand where the comment had come from, and she even glances around to see if he’s reacting to something else, but no. It’s just her and him. ”I.. I’m sorry?” she somewhat stutters in return, before managing to get herself together again. ”I didn’t quite catch that, what did you say?” Now Igni is somewhat smirking again, trying to overcome her previous flustered state.
But once again she doesn’t get a reply. Instead he moves closer, his big head lowering towards hers. Instantly her heart is beating in her chest, rather loudly, and she fears he might hear it. She can only look at him for a moment though, eyes wide and lips parted in a silent gasp. What was this? This wasn’t how things were supposed to go. She should be the one convincing him and then guide him to the Tundra. Not the other way around. ”I uh- the Tundra..”
He’s so close and she would only have to reach out a bit to touch him. She can feel his breath upon her skin, tickling it, as she stands there almost completely frozen. Just a few centimeters, that’s how close he is and Igni thinks about how easy it was for her to reach out to him. It’s then that she suddenly stumbles backwards, now taking a deep breath and creating some distance between them. What the fuck was that? Looking up at him again, after having taken another deep breath, she puffs out her chest and held her head high. ”Do you think you have what it takes to live there? To survive the harsh winters and compete with your brothers and sisters in the castes?” Her voice is less cheeky and sure as before, but at least she’s not stuttering anymore. For now.
