For a moment, she’s suddenly glad that Ruan has sent Jinju on her way. There’s a softness to his hovering voice, a vulnerability that makes the sting of her actions seem less sharp. What she had done to Raeanne was the safest choice, for both of them, and she’ll tell herself that in order to close her eyes at night when the weather turns colder. Nevermind that the intensity of his stare is only broken in order to briefly touch his nose to hers, or that when he does, Circinae feels something begin to stir in the recesses of her abdomen. “Not afraid,” She explains with a resolved smile, “More like enthusiastic.”
Even her pain can’t overshadow the twinge of electricity that courses through her veins at the thought of shifting with ease. To slip skins without losing control or exhausting her energy would be heavensent; certainly much more beneficial for her plans on making these woods a permanent home. She remembers what it felt like to be safe in the open desert, nothing but sky and sand for miles, and the memory brightens her eyes. “I always have to force myself to either ‘be’ wolf or ‘be’ horse, but I’m sure you know a better way.” Circinae tells him pleasantly. “Shall we begin?”
The jade girl drifts away from him, only far enough so that she can turn fully to face him once again. Her skin prickles and she can feel her pulse racing - that old familiar doubt creeping into her thoughts while outwardly she seems unperturbed. Ruan had given her his word though, and it was about time she started believing in those things again. A nod, short and simple, and then she braces herself for whatever might come.
