Dragoncrest Cliffs so to impress her lady, the queen

Posting to move this along!

Furi is quick to take Rose on to herself and from her cover she only listens, avoiding being seen through the trees. The stranger denies his participation but Blixen isn’t satisfied, accepting the words and demanding more that he seems to freely give. It is enough, for the moment, to decide against her original plan and so she lowers her nose to bump @Hvitserk forward with her and steps through the remaining trees into the clearing and coming out opposite side of the children with her fur bristled out.

“Your family should have thought about that before settling so close,” she says, curling her lip a little. Not only had they plucked Arrille out from the borders—not necessarily a big loss, given how little he’d been part of them—but had taken Rose. For the moment, she gives the girl the benefit of the doubt that there’s a better explanation but it is not here for her to interrogate. Her focus does not move from the Sound-wolf and she eases a step closer, moving carefully so that her joints remain prepared for launch. “They attacked a traitor that will pay for his crimes. The smart thing to do would bring him to me,” she says, tongue curled, flicking idly as she imagines what his blood will taste like. “Then, maybe, we’ll leave your family alone.”
