Towering over her small stature, most her size would have turned tail and fled. Not her, she stood as tall as she could. Deep breaths flaring her ribs, plumage ruffled to add the look of substance to her delicate size. Gold flecked eyes remained firmly locked onto his glare. His words came quick and harsh. Processing them for a moment before shoving a response back at him, "A King should show manners. What ever happened to a simple hello?!" A huffed snort escaped her nares, "My NAME is Aurora and I do NOT have a home... Thanks for asking!"
If she hadn't been so perturbed by the stallions bossy demands her stomach may have quivered with the thought of her last words... She did not have a home. Why... she did not know. Maybe she didn't belong. Maybe the fairies had made a mistake by bringing her here. Maybe they should have left her to be tortured. To die...
Slowly the thoughts melted her demeanor. Shoulders slouched as her gaze dropped. The emerald feathers hung loosely upon her sides, slightly exposing the scars near her shoulders. Defeated was the unmistakable look upon her. Eyes upon the ground, as barely a whisper was heard, "I'll leave."
