Tiny moments of inaction, restless looks towards the door she could escape out of but she wouldn't care to do it without Jumbalie. Her eyes closed at the thought, hearing Vandal almost ghost across the ground, nails clacking. Her tail lashed again, head lowering and eyes squeezing shut. Thinking about Jumbalie was a really bad idea right now.

Her head turned as Vandal spoke, watching her in silence. Her eyes had just begun to be red-rimmed, which hopefully in the lower light Vandal couldn't catch onto that. Deldrach looked away, shaking her head. "I don't know why you wouldn't." She murmured, before turning to look at Vandal completely. If the maned wolf standing in front of her looked hard, she could see the fur beneath her eyes gently flattened, her eyes rimmed with the tell-tale red.

Deldrach couldn't imagine loving another person. Not after what she had done to the last one.

".. Vandal, I.." Deldrach suddenly shook her head, her paw raising to rest on Deldrach's muzzle, swiping then at the tears that were left over. "Fuck, sorry, I don't cry in front of people. This is strange for me." She replied, clearing her throat. She slowly slumped down, her ears pressing against her head. She waited in silence again, chewing at her cheek, before she replied to Vandal.

"You.. can try. Just be careful, okay? I'm.. not a good person to be around. I.. I don't know how to talk through my emotions. I'm used to bullheading through everything." Deldrach spoke, her eyes downcast. Three words came from her maw, probably ones that Deldrach didn't even expect herself. "I.. like you Vandal." She was suddenly solid in her decision, her eyes raising to look at Vandal in the eye. "But I can't handle it if I end up hurting you."
