ashes, ashes,
we. all. fall. down.
The baby-sweetness and feigned innocence falls right off Leokadia’s face. In its place a feral grin parts her lips, her white teeth bloodied and bright. In her eyes a fever-mad glitter. Though it may not be fever, it may be her..the Leokadia that’s been living quietly in the body of a sweet child.
In this child something has broken too, a little at first when she’d been disgusting to her dam, a little more when she’d been abandoned. She has lost interest in being coddled and cared for, is quickly bored by gentleness. This green abomination clearly wants nothing to do with her. Leokadia is thrilled.
“Hairless? Who needs a mane anyway? Yours looks ridiculous.” She coos, her voice strong and sweet, no longer wavering like a frightened child’s. Her shining eyes fall to the mare’s feet as they take incremental steps back. Then she looks back at the green face with a tip of her head --a curious corvid expression. So she’s rotten. The girl knows she is ill and that she has the bloodbath in Pangea to thank for it. She also knows she isn’t the only one. “Everyone is going to be sick soon, Greenie. You might just walk backwards into someone who is a bigger zombie than me.”
To emphasize her point she leans slightly to look around the unfriendly mare. Then returning to her previously squared stance. ”Nope, nothing back there. I suppose you’re okay for now.”
