she's not terribly hard to find, given she's only ever basically in one of two places, patrolling or with nomi (or mallaidh). rulsaka's attempt at infiltration has not weighed too heavily on her mind -- drageda soundly won, far as she's concerned. they'd taken down one of the enemy and retained their captive. should she have killed that girl? maybe -- but she stands by her decision. drageda has honor.

if she tries to trespass again, though, blixen won't hold back.

when she sees tux approaching she perks up, reaching out to give him a friendly nudge in greeting. she has a soft spot for a lot of the younger generation, she's realizing -- those that remained, anyway -- but tux in particular reminds her a little bit of herself at that age. of course if she knew about some of his ... less inspired theories, maybe that'd be different, but as it stands ... he's a good kid. "hey kiddo," blix greets him, "what's up?"

blix catches the bristling and raises an eyebrow but doesn't comment, not particularly bothered. she was also a prickly, defensive kid. besides, he gets to the point quickly, and her other eyebrow shoots up to match. "your brana," she repeats, sly amusement curving her mouth into a very teasing smile. "and that would be..?" not that it's difficult to guess -- there aren't that many brana, and ali would be, haha, furi's brana if anything, which leaves the ones she hasn't met properly yet.

as fun as it is to tease her brother, his question is serious and deserves thought. he's young and the mountains are pretty far -- he's proven himself capable, sure, but that's still a big trip. "why the mountains?" she asks after a few moments, willing at least to give him a chance to justify it before she decides.
