A leopard's ears have sprouted on her crown, anxiety giving life to feline features, and a long plush tail wraps around her waist. Her confusion has done nothing to soothe the goddess, and Amalia curses her own stupidity, blinking blackly against her tears. Of course Vi has not yet come - she would not be here, still faded, still ill, if the lord of Life had blessed her. But why?
Again she winces at the venom in Safrin's voice, but her eyes dart up now, taking in the snarl, the sharp and deadly teeth, close enough to snap against her, close enough to kill. "I won't let you fade away," the girl says softly, a hard line of determination in her alto voice. Safin can crush her where she kneels, but the Shield will not back down, will not halt in her protection and guardianship of the deity she loves. "The flower must be able to help- will you touch it? Please?"
