AMALIA
you're staring at the sky
watching stars collide
Ever an observant sort, Amalia does not miss Ianto's wince. What wariness it may have inspired is lost beneath the thrill of possibility as the vulpine man assents, suggesting there is indeed a way for her to learn the secrets he knows. "What would she want?" the girl asks, eagerness in her voice and eyes. Whatever the cost, she thinks, she could pay it- too innocent to consider dark possibilities, to naive to suspect any ill intent.watching stars collide
Despite her trepidation, Amalia finds herself easing into the fox's company, taken by the bustling activity of the square. His request is met with a single raised eyebrow, skeptical and curious as something finally clicks within her brain. "What I know about... you!" the leopardess exclaims, suddenly indignant with realization of who this man must be. Pulling abruptly away from the man, Amalia scowls as fur rises on her neck, fingernails lengthening into claws and fangs developing under her lips. "You're the one who got us trapped-!"
Fortunately for Ianto, Amalia's growing fury is tempered by a burst of starlight and a gentle song. Jyoti has at last fully awakened, shooting out of the baker's bag to circle around the tenuous pair, soothing and trilling and stopping to peer over the girl's shoulder at the man who has inspired such ire in her soulmate. Exhaling a heavy breath, Amalia sighs and settles back, feline features sinking back to normal human form. "Fine." Too deeply affected by the starwhale's magic to raise any amount of rage, the girl falls back into step with Ianto, dark eyes still wary as they examine the man. "But you will have to give me something new to believe, if you want me to forget you betrayed my friends."
