Maea's eyes shuttered, and Alys felt something a lot like shame. She hadn't meant to be quite so obvious in her distaste for the killing. After all, how was it any different from the times she had hunted luxere with Noah? Her hands were not clean any more than Maea's. Besides, it was less the action itself that scared her, she realized; it was the potential for further violence, and a lack of understanding of Ancients and their bloodlust. And that wasn't fair to Maea.
Alys blinked once, then steeled herself. "I'm not afraid," she said, and it was only half a lie. "I'm sorry," she added. "You just - surprised me, is all." She looked around for the missing shoe and found it. She walked over to pick it up, then held it out to the Ancient like a flag of truce, a small smile on her lips. Her eyes flicked up to Maea's horns, and then back to the woman's eyes. "I've never met an Ancient before," she said, as casually as she could. "I don't know a lot about you. Have you ever noticed that things people don't know make them uncomfortable?"
