Dragoncrest Cliffs anger is the more productive cousin of fear

 artaax doesn't answer her and she lets out a frustrated whine, still furious but - something's clearly wrong and fear overtakes the anger (what if the injury is worse than she sees what if he's dying what if the stranger--) "your mouth isn't bleeding!" the gona blurts desperately, responding to the unbidden thought that somehow artaax has lost his tongue in the scuffle - but no he'd said something to her when she first arrived, he's just not talking now.

 furi's done what she asked and blix peels back as portia and nomi arrive on the scene, her eyes wild. she looks at artaax, wondering if he'll talk to them, but: "that wolf was trespassing - artaax fought and killed him," she gets out, and then adds as she turns to look at nomi, "and didn't call for help," because she's gonna be steamed about that one for a while.
