Like a feral creature that has been fed raw meat and is now being pet, Edy endured the touch if only for the promise of more meat that it held. It was not that she didn't enjoy it—physical affection was Edy's favourite kind—but she knew well enough to remain tempered around Zariah. She could not, for instance, place her hand over Z's and lean her chin into it. Or worse even, to reach across and mirror Zariah's movements.
However Edy could only remain still for so long, she wasn't nearly so disciplined as Zariah was, that the unexpected compliment made her smile and her cheeks flush far more than she would have liked to admit, or would have predicted. Edy had never been the favourite, always the outcast. She was a necessary evil, a powerhouse that could be wielded often enough that she was kept around. But dear to anyone? A favourite among many? Never.
And it showed.
"There will only ever be you." Edy vowed, biting down on her stupid grin and clearing her throat.
Inhaling thoughtfully as they moved back to business, Edy wrapped an arm around her waist and paused to think. "It is hard to know what's useful given how often folks seem to just appear. I met a knight once who seemed interesting, but I haven't seen him since. There's Jigano, that one with the long white hair. He's by far the least stupid out of those I've met. Other than that, some petty thieves and whatnot, but Remi is the only one with any real power that I've seen. He and Ronin, really, though I haven't heard much about how Ronin managed to come back from the dead." Tapping her fingers against her waist, the younger Launceleyn shrugged. "Then there's that Rory fucker with all his farmer pals. They definitely won't be pleased about us being here in any prominent way." Though the smirk on Edy's features very much suggested that she did not give one fuck about that at all.
