MOVED.

      a hood concealed their face, tension consuming their form when those words were directed at her. without looking at the person, she scoffed, arms folding in front of herself.

    she hated it. being idle was never sienna’s strong suit, but she had no choice, golden eyes either having a staring contest with the ceiling or reading one of the various books blake had excitedly brought to her. it was adorable, watching her get so excited, not that she voiced that. currently, it was the latter, the only thing breaking her out of the book being blake’s voice.

    “ thank you, blake. i didn’t know you were so good at taking care of people. “

    taking the cup gently, she drank it slowly, the taste making her ears go flat. even with it’s strong taste, she finished, placing it down with a soft smile.

     her canines grinded against each other more, but in anger, instead of pain. she should have seen it coming-- she should have. exhaling, sienna reached up &. held blake’s arm, calming down her breath.

    " b -- blake ? “

   the normal headstrong high leader was now reduced to holding her recently closed wound on her stomach, roaming the streets of mistral, trying not to be noticed by any possible faunus. but this one shocked her-- she shouldn’t be here, near the white fang.

    “ what are you.. “

   sienna was unable to finish the sentence, grimacing as she shook her head, fighting the desire to fall from the pain. not now, not ever, she was too proud to.
