Dragoncrest Cliffs make a fury of me

 nomi does not immediately react, and she opens her mouth to plead her case before noticing artaax's arrival. her jaw snaps shut as she catches his disapproving glare. at first she scowls back at him, his judgement irritating - yeah, that had been a little bit rude of her but nomi's not reacting (yet) and who is he to judge her behavior anyway?

though.. she will admit she has been a little more quick to lash out lately. her anger abates, leaving her feeling a little - not embarrassed, but maybe slightly nonplussed, and she takes a step back. takes a breath to calm herself. and when she looks back at nomi, her gaze is back to being determined as before (but maybe a touch more settled). "we've just started training," blix says, figuring she might as well plead her case before nomi tries to say no, "i don't want to fall behind - and it'd be good experience, right?" there, no way nomi will say no to her now. she shoots another glance at artaax, less scowly, wondering if he'd come to ask the same thing as her.
