The ex-queen drew a deep breath through her nose and pushed herself, very slowly, to a seated position from the lounging one she had been enjoying before his arrival. She couldn't deny that she had often been easily irritated by stupid questions, especially those posed to her by males, but she found for the moment that he was crawling under her skin more than normal.
What were these gods even good for if they didn't have more knowledge than this?
"Yes, my old pride was once close to here but we were forced to flee during the quakes," she explained, carefully, careful to skirt around her role there, "I left with my daughters for a while before deciding to come back, to see if maybe some of my old pride had returned."
She punctuated the sentence with a shrug.
"They haven't, but I like the warmth."

"Fitting indeed," she said gently, speaking so that he would have to lean in to hear the words on her maw. Though she was quite intolerant of males, she could find a peace in one that wanted to know more about her; as an ex Queen, her ego was suited to her former rank and if he would offer her the pleasure of being worshiped as she so very much thought she deserved, then she would allow him to remain her presence for a while.
Even if his questions were tiring and useless.
A pleasant, knowing smile tugged at her maw and at last she rolled her shoulders, content with the decision to allow him to stay within her space. She did not think she had anything to fear and why would she? There wasn't a thing she had to offer anyone in this world any longer, she had only that which to gain. Maybe he should have feared her, instead.
He didn't seem any the wiser.
"I suppose that would be just fine, Lim." She didn't ask permission for the nickname; it was what she chose - his name was such a mouthful. "I'm not doing anything better today."
Then she laughed, airy and breathless, as she turned her gaze up at the low-hanging sun.
"I could use a bit of company tonight."
