Elias stepped in beside her with a comment about her adequacy. Sierra responded "Don't you?"
But she regretted it the moment she did. While it was not admitting weakness to the rich and snobby she was to this man. A man who was already an enigma. "Oh right. Nothing phases you."
Sierra tried to lessen the bite with a smile. "Sorry. That was me being angry with myself, not really trying to insult you."
They had to stick together in the lion's den. Yes, more like lions then wolves. Maybe...
Inside was no comparison to the outside as they followed the rich and elite into their foyer. The marble alone probably cost more than what Sierra would ever see in her life time three times over. She tried to keep from showing her awe. But it was likely to have failed even as she continually watched the floor and avoided eye contact of those around her.
Such a waste of money. But Sierra supposed they had it to blow on all these fancy things. Misses Marveet, that didn't even sound right in her head, Sierra thought, maybe Lady Marveet or something far more grand but Misses just seemed so dull for the woman watching her son leave. Jaxen smelled of many emotions and Sierra was confused by some and didn't blame him for others.
Jaxen's mother offered told them where to sit and Sierra obliged as if she had been ordered, the room was epic in comparison to herself and she felt completely out of place. The glittering woman offered them something to drink. Tea sounded fabulous something hot. Sierra surprised herself when there was no hesitation in her reply, "Tea, please."
The place was expensive and Sierra's own inadequacies as Elias put it started making her close in on herself, but the question of how they'd met brought Sierra's eyes up to meet the other woman's. Sierra smiled softly, "We all just met today."
Sierra wasn't exactly sure how much she should say without Jaxen present it was his story after all. "Elias and I were discussing the proper etiquette of garbage in the wilderness."
She smiled at Elias they weren't exactly discussing things they'd been about to have an argument if it were not for Jaxen's cold naked body stepping out of the woods. "You son just happened out of the near by woods - cold and in need of better outer wear."
The slight coloring of her face, she hoped it was only slight, would likely indicate the extent of his need. "We all did our best to help. I am glad he is home safe now."
Sierra closed her mouth slowly she realized she was rambling... it happened when she was nervous. She choose to sip at the tea she was given and hoped Elias would say something soon.
