A flash of emerald eyes charged with defiance, gazed in the direction of the man who was more like a brother to her, than a mentor. Yet, her eyes softened and her agitated stance loosened, crossing her arms under her ample chest. A deep sigh passed through the dancers nose, as she gently shook her head.
“Forgive me, my anger doesn’t reside with you.” Raven black locks fell over her naked shoulders, as she titled her head a little to the side. “You know me... and my rash behaviour. You know I can’t stand for injustice.” Esmeralda scoffed at the last, gazing over at her ‘king’.
“What would you have had me do? Let them beat, mock and torture the hunchback? You know I couldn’t have just stood by and let them do that.”
