Her eyes widen as she feels his memories flood into her, the pain from her swollen eye the only thing keeping her from falling to the ground in shock. "what.. Master?" she whimpers as they all play out before her as if she was there watching, the anguish he felt as she died. As the pain pounds against her she can feel her own beast inside respond with an angry roar, she can feel the change slowly come over her and with a scream of pure agony as the spikes start pressing against the neck as the muscles start shifting she falls down on the deck and manages to will the beast back. A trickle of blood oozing down around her neck and she uses the pain to shield herself from the intense grief and guilt she can feel from her owner.<br/><br/>"oh.. my poor dear" she whimpers softly and staggers up on unsteady legs to try and walk down to help him in his grief. "please.. I cant .. please master! shut it down" she tries to reply but unable to get her own mind to work through the mental barriers. Then she spots the other vessel approaching to dock up against theirs, alarm shoots through her at the thought of more pirates. "oh no.. what do I do?" Frozen with fear she just stands and gazes out into empty space for a long time, memories of her own flooding through her brain before she can hear footsteps and twirls to see the other woman lean against the doorway.<br/><br/>The appearance matches what she saw in his memories, so she relaxes visibly. Help has arrived finally!<br/><br/>"So you must be the one that radioed my ship." The elegant shifter said and Malin nods, well aware how silly she looks in comparison with all her bruises and the blood slowly seeping down her neck. "yes Mistress, he is downstairs in the infirmary. Please.. he needs help. Pirates invaded the ship and he is wounded, please help him." as she shifts through his memories that he seemed to have broadcast to her she realises that this elegant woman is his wife and therefor her Mistress and owner as well. And with the other woman being a shifter she is also Malins Alpha and she sinks down to her knees and tilts head in a gesture of submission. Exposing her throat to the other woman to show she sees herself as inferior and will obey.
