Gia Riddell (neverfitin) wrote in watchers_rp,

Gia's smile grew, appreciation tinging it, at not only Daphina's words, but also the mischief she saw in her eyes. "You know," she declared, drumming her fingers lightly on the tabletop with no mind for the particles of sand that fell off. "I think that I like you, Daphina Taraias. Beauty and brains, far too rare a combination in this climate, and yet here you sit, possessing both. I think you must be a unicorn." Gia wasn't even being truly sarcastic, and that was the surprising thing. She so rarely met witty, pretty ladies who... had a certain opinion about men and a hopefully very different one about women. She delighted in them when they came up, though the last one to do so was in all the ways that mattered completely unavailable to her.

"It is true, yet they seem drawn to them. Perhaps they see all the same qualities we do and need to gather them in under their name." A darker view was that they stole them. Gia had spent many a night thinking that Ilario had done exactly that, and hating him for it. Now she doubted he was intelligent enough to know why his marriage had upset her so much. Gia watched Daphina's brow knit together, fingers itching to reach over and soothe the skin there before it wrinkled, but she kept her hands where they were. Gia laughed again when Daphina confirmed that she did have suitors, even adding that she'd never wished them success. That was what she had rather been hoping to hear, and it caused a little flutter to jump around in her chest. As for the idea of defending herself, Gia let one shoulder rise and fall in a shrug, her eyes having gone to the sand as she sketched something out. "Actually, it sounded as though you are more content with the life you have than the one you believe you would go to. And how could I think that wrong? I am closer to thirty than I am twenty and still I have no marriage for what sounds like the very same reason."

Sketch complete, Gia crooked a finger for Daphina to shift and look into the sand. She had needed to use both colors, but she had managed a decent rendering all the same. Paper would've been better, but Gia tended to use whatever material was closest to hand. "I was incorrect," she murmured, fingers withdrawing to reveal what looked very much like a phoenix. "Birds live in cages and if you were one... you should look like that rather than all the others chirping away in theirs." Her mind did enjoy its flights of fancy.
