When he finally began speaking after hearing her words, it became clear to her. He never had to fight for his home, he never had his family and his people hunted or his land stolen and desecrated. She did hear him despite the clear irritation in her eyes but she couldn't stay silent when he finally said if it was fair for those who wondered where she had vanished to. [color=9e0b0f]"There is [i]no one left[/i] to wonder where I am, Darius... No one..."[/color] she said, in a threateningly low tone. [color=9e0b0f]"I am not as conceited to think I was some kind of chosen one, but it is a fact that I am here. Yes, it was random but what do you think Aklenroth does? He kills and subjugate those who don't agree with him, bends their wills or take everything from them. Do you think he is kind or gives a chance for those whom he can't use for his own plans or disagree with his views? He has no respect for the land or even the dead! He was willing to burn an entire FOREST just to kill me! With zero consideration for the animals, the plants or even someone else who might get caught in the fire! He desecrates corpses and souls to do his bidding! His greed for power had no limits, Darius. I've heard about entire towns destroyed, countless turned into slaves or just slaughtered! He isn't a ruler or the 'king of this land'... He is a [i]tyrant[/i]... Just like the white men... The 'rebels' as you call them, might have done so out of desperation, a desperate plea for help but you don't know what that is, do you? I can see it in your eyes... You probably never had to lift a finger in your entire life to protect what is yours..."[/color] Ayita said, leaning forwards as she talked in a menacingly low tone. [color=9e0b0f]"Do you think it's fair for my people to have their lives and their lands stolen from us? Women and children slaughtered, our villages and camps, burned! Our lands desecrated! Have you ever needed to fight for your life, for your people or for your land? Have you ever felt the desperation of having to fight a battle that is already lost?"[/color] Ayita continued. [color=9e0b0f]"Do you think we had a fighting chance when the white men came in the middle of the night and set fire to our camp? It was the last thing I saw before I came to Avalia, Darius. Screams of my people being burned to death and the ones who fled from the fire, shot down! My mother burning inside her tent, just like many others... Elders, women and children..."[/color] she said, looking straight to Darius' eyes as she spoke, her voice and eyes full with anger and rage. [color=9e0b0f]"If you're willing to simply turn a bling eye to everything Aklenroth does and abandon Avalia to his tyrannical rule, I'm not. Unlike the situation in my land, here I'm not helpless, here we can fight, we can make a difference... Here we aren't alone."[/color] Ayita continued. [color=9e0b0f]"You said you side with your people, Darius... Well, I side with my tribe. [i]My[/i] people, not yours and I will do everything I can to save them. Even if that means abandoning the land of our ancestors to find us a new home."[/color] she finished, looking to Darius with the same fiery eyes before she turned, walking away.

As she approached it again, sniffing it a bit more, she used her tongue, dipping it into the wine in order to have a small taste. Just as she did so, Myra flinched, surprised by the strong taste, giving a small jump back as she stuck her tongue out of her mouth with a grimace, clearly disliking it. Upon Mathis' offer to drink it, Myra simply pushed the glass towards him, turning her head away as she turned back to the strange stringy food, putting some more in her mouth to take off the taste of that drink off her mouth. When Mathis asked if she liked the food, she simply looked at him, nodding as she replied to his kind smile with one of her own. The stringy food was strange at first, but the taste was surprisingly good. It was really messy though, as the red sauce did stick to her claws a bit, making her having to clean them with her tongue after each bite. When Mathis offered to teach her to use utensils though, she looked confused at the steel things besides her plate, getting both of them with one hand and showing her sharp claws with her free hand as well as showing her teeth. Those things were useless in her opinion, after all, she already could stab and cut much better with her claws and teeth, it wasn't like she needed some metal things to do that for her. The moment she put the two things back on the table again, she stopped for a moment, simply looking forward before blinking and shaking her head almost if there was something wrong. Looking towards Mathis again, she rubbed her eyes, blinking it as she looked at him with a confused expression. Upon a closer look, Mathis would see that Myra body was slowly swaying from side to side and her movements were a bit strange. Even though it was discreet, it could be perceived if he looked closely at her. It didn't need much for Mathis to know what was happening. Unfortunately, Myra had no idea and was simply asking herself why she was feeling a bit strange.
