Snippet #2535331

Uven didn't answer her question and Ara guessed because he was too focused on their new guards and if she didn't know any better she would say he was ignoring her. But when he introduced her to the guards she noted that he was at least aware of her presence. Ara looked at the Lizard folk and at once noticed a change in them. although they looked at her and they seemed to have imagined Ara would be well... not so young.
Though it seemed the lizard folk didn't put barriers for females like humans did, she couldn't shake the feeling that they at least expected her to be less childish. Her outburst when she entered diffidently didn't help with the first impression. Ara knew a true leader doesn't get respect out of the blue. Maybe it was time for her to grow up... her childhood was taken from her and with no way to return to the way things were, it seemed the only way was to grow up.
