That was always a quality in people that she could appreciate, having never been one for beating around the bush herself. And yet, while she usually came of as overly blunt or even rude, Shayella managed to do it with the same flawless grace that she carried herself with.<br/><br/>It made Theraeve feel like the other woman genuinely cared, which was a rarity, since her close friends could be numbered on a single hand while still having fingers left over. Much of that was her own fault, admittedly. Friendships required time and nurturing, and most of the time when she was home, Theraeve was rarely in the mood to see anyone unless it was for a night of relieving stress with as little talking as possible.<br/><br/>In fact, she wasn't much in the mood for seeing anyone right now, either, but she could always make an exception for Shayella. Just knowing that her friend had thought to check in on her touched her more than she let show. "Mhmm..." Theraeve nodded slowly, reliving the heated battle that she'd had with the male channeler in her head. "My head may have ended up challenging a stone wall at some point..." she finally admitted, wincing a bit at the memory as the bump left from the impact seemed to flare up angrily in response.<br/><br/>"It was a draw," she added, one corner of her full lips finally curving upwards into a little smirk as she turned her head to look into Shayella's discerning blue eyes. "Before you fix that, though, please get me out of this bloody thing." Tugging on the front of her leather corset, Theraeve turned her upper body so that her back was facing Shayella, giving her access to undo the strings.
