Dragoncrest Cliffs borderline with my atoms

one thing blixen is good at is compartmentalizing. her heart can race every time she thinks of four very free girls all it wants, but she's got home and loyalty and drageda, and that's that. right?

the shilkru takes back to patrolling with a vengeance, having nothing else to distract herself with. she visits the kiddos now and again and she makes plans to tend to the garden she keeps forgetting to keep up with. but mantaining the borders is like... almost a ritual, if not, you know, slightly self-flagellating. 

thankfully today there is something to do: blixen spies a stranger sniffing around the borders and straightens up, picking up her pace to intercept them. they -- she doesn't seem to be trying to cross the borders, which begs the question, "what are you doing?"
