Dragoncrest Cliffs anger is the more productive cousin of fear

set directly after this thread, thanks for the thread title cruz haha

like her ill-fated brother, blixen's been patrolling - though she'd been up by the northern end of the border. she'd corralled her friend @Furi into joining her in an attempt to show the meditative joy of maintaining border strength, though all was quiet up where they were as they moved slowly southward.

(like her brother, she's also been really itchy, though she is determined to not stop and scratch every few minutes lest it lower her guard. but that's another thing.)

things were for her brother apparently decidedly not quiet. she hears the scuffle before she sees them and takes off running without a second glance at her companion. for a moment she thinks dio - thank god, he's got it - but then the scene processes and she realises it's artaax. @Artaax with his jaws closed around the throat of some half-starved stranger, artaax's blood mixed in the fray.

by the time she gets there the enemy is already dead. good: she throws herself bodily into artaax's side, paying no mind to his injuries, her expression a scorching blaze. "what the fuck?!"
