Orion sighs inwardly, the expression on his face never changing though as he shakes his head ever so slightly. She really seemed to be missing quite a but about him and who he was. If she cared to pay any attention then she would know that he would have gladly died if that were to be the wish of the spirits and the Great Mother to choose that moment to be the end of him. It did not bother him in the least bit which was why it was 'alright'. As to her comment about him showing off he brushed it off for indeed he was showing off though it had nothing to do with his gender. His Mother and Aunts often showed off their skills to one another and it was never taken the way that she seemed to take everything that he did or tried to do.<br/><br/>She was a troubled woman that was certain and it was only further confirmed as she told him to bother the spirit child Syee for water and then had the nerve to take him by the ear like he was some child. He was far from being a child and was not someone that anyone should be treating as one. He was a man, a warrior and a Cleric of the Holy Order of the Ever Living Light, not some Child to be scolded and lead about. His temper nearly getting the best of him as he caught her by the forearm and pulled her hand from his ear then held it for the span of two heart beats as he stared into her eyes.<br/><br/>"I would appreciate it if you refrained from handling me in such a matter....please...." he said in an even tone as he continued to look at her before letting go and taking up his pot once again.<br/><br/>He watched the play of emotion across her face and for a moment she was truly beyond words to describe. As he listened to her speak of hunting he knew that this was something that she had not done in a very long time. He would of offered to go with her hunting someday but she would likely spit in his face for a 'Man' thinking that she needed the company. Feeling suddenly tired....like the stress of the day finally catching up to him and still a bit put off be her treatment of him but a moment ago.<br/><br/>"I would rather not trouble a water spirit with something as mundane as filling a pot of water...they are sacred beings, just like the dragon kind that you spoke of. I would no sooner request something from a great being as a dragon then I am going to right now with the nymph" bowing slightly to her once again. "Please pardon me but I am going to go and fill up the pot myself..." his tone was a bit stiffer then it had been thus far and he did not wait for her to reply before he left.<br/><br/>Once outside he took a slow deep breath calming his soul and his mind, then by the light of the moon he walked down to the river. Kneeling at its edge he said a silent prayer of thanks for it sparing his life earlier. With the prayer done he filled the pot and then made his way back inside, entering the kitchen he paused at the doorway.<br/><br/>"Where would you like me to put this?"
