The female looked the the male with a raised eyebrow. How odd of a creature he was... To thing that women needed protection all the time, as if they were not capable of providing for themselves. Maybe he was one of those types who saw women as inferior. If that was the case, this was going to be a long reign with this new monarch. However, the prospect of him loosing the reigns a bit did peak her interest.
But just like that, he seemed to go back to restraining them all again. "You know, the other kingdoms do well enough without forcing their people to live in a bubble," she commented as she tried to refrain from rolling her eyes. Nymeria could see him floating a bit off the ground, almost as if trying to tower over her a bit more. Was it an intimidation tactic? She wasn't one to run from another, even if he was the new royal in charge. "If we stay away from the borders, we can be fine. It is our land, but the borders are where we most likely would run into trouble but I think most demons know to stay away unless they are traveling for a specific reason."
Nymeria rustled the basket a bit as she moved it slightly down her arm. She was getting antsy having to stop and talk. Talking wasn't her forte. She preferred to be alone and away from others, but here she was. Somehow, talking with the new lord? Almost as if he knew, moments after she shifted the basket, his words now focused on the thing dangling around her arm. The mere mention of it caused the girl to tense. She didn't like conversing... More so if the focus was back on her or what she was doing. Why did he need to know what she was doing with a basket? Wasn't it her business? Nym contemplated the pros and cons of having to reply to him, but ultimately settled on having to do so. He was the new Lord. If she had to share anything about what she was doing, it would have to be him.
"...Collecting items." It was simple. Short and sweet, but a bit hesitant in tone. She didn't want him to join her. This was why she was alone. She preferred to be alone and yet somehow she managed to find another in a forest she thought no one would be in. Her luck right? "You may join me... But I'm not one to enjoy another's company for long so forgive me in advance if I do not wish to speak often." The famine demon was already done with this conversation. She wanted to be alone and away from the other, but something compelled her to invite the demon with her. It would just be a couple of hours right? She could do that. Then maybe, just maybe, she could return to her peace and quiet with no one around. That was what she liked. It was her only solace.
