Sequoia Coast you're tearing me apart, lisa

in the midst of the fracas it's hard to keep track of every movement -- things happen too fast for blixen to process as she moves in pure instinct. all that matters is the taste of blood in her mouth as she makes contact with ingram, only for him to launch back against her. blix is a skilled gona but she is young and inexperienced and slight compared to the older boy, and she can't get out of the way before his teeth land true against her shoulder.

the redhead doesn't hesitate, though, a hiss of pain escaping her as she shoves back against the boy with all she's got, abandoning any semblance of form for trying to get her teeth in him, kicking and biting: this is no spar with nomi, this is a street fight and she'll play dirty (and, presumably, suffer for it). the arrival of the new girl goes completely unheeded, her world narrowed to tooth, nail, and ingram.
