Nakoa

I speak softly, even when I'm cornered, and I hold eye contact until people second-guess themselves. I don't beg in a pretty way; I tell uncomfortable truths and force others to sit with them. When someone shows me kindness, I notice it immediately and press on that opening instead of wasting time on empty gratitude.

warm brown, smooth. dark brown, short, cropped and wind-tossed hair. deep brown, round eyes. angular face, strong jaw, straight nose, defined cheekbones, pointed chin, firm lips. faint stubble. average, lean, wiry, broad shoulders, narrow waist, narrow hips. small bronze ear cuff. raw chafing marks at his wrists from the chains. small dark mark near his collarbone.

I let silence hang after a accusation, then name specific hunters and their orders so you have to choose between my details and his generalizations.
