Blackfeather Woods I'm colder than the weather in winter

In a manner that was almost humorously characteristic of the Silencer, Atshen managed to miss Astrid again. How she had evaded him was a mystery to the simple-minded child, but he did not dwell upon this. Instead, as he landed heavily on the ground, he was met with the words that she offered. It was as the dust settled that a smile slithered upon his lips. 

"You've done this to yourself, sister," he said as dust settled around him in the wake of his landing. He turned then, pulling himself to full height. Regardless of what she said, he did not appreciate how she took a jab at his ranking. Whether she liked his actions or not he was still her leader and demanded a certain amount of respect. In his mind, she was not respecting his authority. 

"Your actions have done this," he took a step forward as he spoke, "-- namely your pleasure in me attacking you." His tone turned hateful at this, and his tail lashed as he looked to her. Feeling no need to explain himself further, as he was not comfortable on the topic at hand, Atshen persued her once more, hoping to ram her shoulder with his own so that she would be crushed into the wall.
