KIADA
your battleworn tongue doesn't say the truth anymore
that you are ruined
As predicted, the introduction goes poorly in Kiada’s favor – never having been one that was good at those. Typically her name just roamed around, and when they saw her it clicked and was easy. Thank the gods for Auni as he distracts her briefly and Kiada releases an awkward breath. But at least the mention of Amalia, it captures Ashe’s attention. A small smile breaks out against Kiada’s pale face as she nods. “She’s getting there, yeah.” She offers easily. “Much better though.” She adds quickly, as though the first sentence she’d said were terribly dramatic.
But then Ashe is moving to grab her cloak and Kiada keeps herself planted, watching until she turns back to her and asks if she’s a natural – a question that causes her to raise her brow slightly out of surprise. Nobody has thought she was a natural before, but she supposes the furs and leathers she wears now and everything she’s dealt with in Caido so far would lead her to being close to that. She shakes her head easily, that same smile on her lips. “No, I’m not. Came from a couple different places before landing here last Deepfrost.” She rolls her shoulders a bit casually as Auni’s eyes linger on Ashe as the spider appears and his tail starts wagging.
“Kept my distance for a bit until well, the fall of the barrier and all that. I was captured by the Fae for a time...” She rambles before catching herself and offering another casually awkward laugh. “Actually, I came here because I heard that you were an Assassin before, and I wanted to bring you a somewhat personalized gift. And perhaps a bit to get to know you – fighter to fighter?” She doesn’t know a better word for the similarities between what an assassin had to do and what Kiada did for survival, but she believes them to be the same. The scars that adorn the both of them are stories in themselves, and she can see a few on the shorter woman; the Harpy knows deep down that Ashe likely sees her's too. "I don't have much, mostly weapons, so I figured if anyone would appreciate it, it might be you."
She pulls a small knife, obsidian and slightly jagged but still beautiful in its unique shape, and she holds it out handle first toward Ashe with a raised brow – icy gaze drifting between her and the huge spider that Auni’s doing his best to attract its attention. If it moves, Auni likely wants to be its friend.
