Amalia
the shield of safrin
Back to Halo.
Amalia does not bother with heavy coats and padded boots, not when she has leopard's fur and feline feet made for managing frigid terrain. The result of her natural insulation is nearly comic, to be sure, with thick white fur fighting its way out from beneath her open-back shirt at every possible edge, but the Shield has never put much thought into her appearance. There are too many things to be anxious about, for looks to count among them.
Like this meeting. She'd begged Remi and Ronin to wait outside, to give her a chance to speak to Loren before they intervene. Now as she stands before his office door, the girl realizes that even if her mission is successful, she has no idea what will come next. It's dizzying and terrifying, but it is a problem for after this step is concluded. One thing at a time.
A sharp knock, and Amalia opens the door, Jyoti floating above her shoulder. "Loren?" the Shield inquires softly, stepping into the office and shutting the door behind her. "We need to talk."

you are slowly growing
but you are still growing
and that is enough
