"Needing help isn't bothering, you lose that idea right now," Sura stated, her voice only slightly sharper than it had been before. "That implies your existence is somehow a burden and an inconvenience and nobody is - ever, ever."
As she spoke, she took the offered arm and tucked it against her side contently. "She's just in a mood - though perhaps..." Sura stared back at the gold, who twisted her head sharply, baring her teeth and pushed herself up to her feet. "
Go home, dear," there was an authoritative tone to Sura's voice, though it was nothing like the tone of command the gold herself could have had. Esurienth rumbled unhappily. "Don't you argue. It will taste just as good in your wallow. Maybe you can ask that nice bronze friend of yours to catch you some fish."
It took another minute before the gold budged, snatching her carcass and pushing herself skyward. It
was better to not leave her unattended in case she spooked someone else.
"There. Now I can give you my full attention." she patted Serrekhar's arm, using it to nudge the man along. "Where should I show you first....."
