"Patience? I must confess myself unfamiliar with the concept."
It's spoken with typical Herian severity, though her mouth tugs into a smile at the last moment, and she nudges Cosima very slightly. "I'm inclined to think you did well." Biased would also be a good word, maybe.
Her legs still hang in the water, Herian carefully wringing some of the water out of her hair. She isn't a self-conscious person, really, where others might be; there are burn scars visible on the right side of her back, where it's exposed, and then other heavy scarring down her legs, that look like pits and cracked glass. All the scars are old, though, more subtle against the skin, and the only more obvious ones are nicks and slices from battle. More likely to catch the eye, at a distance, are the tattoos that run down other side of her spine in parrallel lines, abstract floral patterns that run across each shoulder, and down the backs of her arms.
pls forgive me for this excessive Physical Appearance exposition fml
