The nervousness in the mare's voice only further fuels the fire in Lucinda. She is hungry for more of it, to see Luvena tremble beneath her grip. But she decides not to lash out with her teeth like she usually does. Perhaps she's gone soft or the mare is just lucky to have caught the kelpie on an off day.
When she explains how her companion keeps her in check, the kelpie is amused. Not so much at Luvena but by how opposite they are. Abraxia, while she's protective of Lu, certainly does not keep her in check. If anything, Lu keeps her beast in check and she would not do anything without Lu's command. They are bonded, but Lu is her master above all else.
It doesn't really surprise her that the woman is a medic. She does not have the muscle tone or grace to be a warrior or of any higher rank. Of course, healers were highly valued back home in their own ways, so she certainly does not discredit them. They just had vastly different physical qualities compared to those like her who trained for battle and dragon taming.
Although, the mention of Dusk does pique her interest.
"No, but I do belong to the sea now," she answers, looking out in the direction that the waters would be now. The longer she stays away from it, the more she longs for its embrace. "Dusk, hm? Do you know Anandi then?" Her heart is beating faster as she thinks of the other kelpie, the Emissary, the one who turned her. Their last meeting had been delightful, so much blood had been shed, the woman was pissed and Lu just laughed.
Still, there's a small part hidden beneath all the fury that wonders just how Anandi is doing after their fight. Is it concern? Maybe, maybe not.
"Speaking."
