there's fire in your blood
 | A pleasant chill runs through Mazikeen at Gale’s response and they are close enough she’s sure he can feel it travel from the top of her spine to the very base. Each word after has her further sink into this moment, well aware that though they’ve already had each other plenty today it is not enough. She still wants and is thrilled that he is there with her. His whispered words sent heat through her body and Mazikeen’s eyes shine with desire and interest, but those feelings disappear at his suggestion of her being Wishbone. She snaps her teeth in his direction, a warning she does not intend to reach skin just yet. Her lips are once more curled into a cruel snarl as her body ignites once again. “So much for me being everything you want.” Feeling the words burn out of her to the point where she is surprised they do not carry licks of flame with them.
Mazikeen then moves away from him, the iciness returning to her voice when she says “If you want to do those things to Wishbone so badly, you know where she lives.” She’s aware that this is a dangerous game. She is currently more concerned about Gale wanting someone else over her than she is about what harm might befall the Tephran queen if he were to actually go seek her out and call this bluff of indifference.
It is not a concern born out of insecurities as it might have once been. Instead, it is a new possessiveness. He is hers and hers alone, she has no intention of sharing. Just as she doubts he ever intends to let her find another.
And this thought inspires her to keep speaking as she slowly moves around the remains of their meal. “And while you do that I’ll find someone else too.” Her eyes do not find him, though she is aware of where he is she thinks it'll enrage him not to have her attention and she wants that. She feigns her icy indifference even while the markings on her skin illuminate the red-stained white fur of her coat. She scans the meadow, as though she’s already on the hunt. As though any random stranger might fit her next words. “Someone better.”
