The stars are alive, child! Did you know that? Everything out there is alive, and there are grand purpose abroad!
It is made clear to me immediately that this is a situation in which I will have to calculate each move carefully. This is no kind stranger, in my experience, those from the day court never do seem to be - the man stunk of the desert. He was awfully crude looking, an average brown, but the red that dripped over his face, made for an eery sight to say the least. I narrowed my eyes, regretting my decision to leave the girls behind for once. They would have been useful here. I have to keep myself from rolling my eyes at his taunt. As if I haven't been threatened before.
"Looks like there's enough for both of us" I reply, picking my way towards him, holding my head high enough to force an arch into my neck. An uncomfortable position I haven't assumed in a while. "I rather thought Solterrans were too tough to admit they'd need such an herb anyways. Figured you wouldn't get sick at all really." I say it softly, but I am sure to make it clear that I do not mean it kindly, letting sarcasm drip around the edges.
I stop about a foot away, blinking into the bright sun behind him. Though I stood my ground before him, I knew that if he did decide to strike, like the snake he probably was, I would not stand a chance. Truth be told, I was banking on him deciding that I wasn't worth his time.
