Sequoia Coast you're tearing me apart, lisa

furi seems to know the strange dark boy who comes to arrille's aid, which shouldn't surprise her, given furi's track record, but takes her aback enough to give pause as another of these weirdos flocks to the scene. she hasn't put together that they're all from the same pack yet -- all she can think is why is he worth all this fuss to them?

and then the new man calls furi a bitch and blixen's vision goes white at the edges. a snarl breaks through her, but before she can act on her desire to tear into him (and probably accidentally incite a whole second war) a voice says

shof op

and the gona is stunned into silence. she's never met anyone outside of drageda who knows her people's tongue. not only does the strange ghost she'd previously disregarded know her language, he knows who nomi is. knows her name and title, even. slowly her mouth closes, the snarl fading into an uncertain grimace as she glances at artaax (when did he even get here?) and back at furi. "go get nomi," she says, echoing the pale man's order in a voice she hopes is both authoritative and reassuring, aimed at both artaax and furi. then without waiting to see if either of them goes, she looks back at the ghost and says, "how do you know our heda?" in a somewhat incredulous voice, arrille temporarily forgotten.
