Bearclaw Valley you'll have to watch me struggle from several rooms away

she wasn't defiling anything, laying down  on the packed snow with her legs and tail crumpled beneath her lithe frame.  indra was lucky, after reigi's encounter with the dark man that reigi had not accosted her with her own pearly incisors; she desired no company — nobody.  perhaps even akuma would have been spurned in this moment, and having been hurt so much the wild woman was quick to show her teeth.  but she did not, in fear of the possible retaliation.

the only thing that changed on reigi's face was that her brows furrowed together in silent and pitying disapproval.  but she would not be looking away.  she knew that indra wanted her gone, but she would not allow the woman to take this valley from her.  it was all she had left.

she was so focused on indra and her inevitable retaliation that she did not notice xan's approach, and she shrunk in on herself (what little room there was left, for she had already been so crumpled) and shut her eyes as his teeth flashed at her.

once again, there were no winners here.. and once again she did not know what she had done wrong, furthering the thought that she had been justified in leaving.
