she could make the patrol alone — she'd done it plenty of times in drageda ...but blodreina constantly has to remind herself that diaspora isn't drageda and her antisocial behavior practiced in her birth place will likely not go over as well here as it did there. as it was, she already stuck close to those few she let close: ingram and praimfaya, of course. aurë. the wanlida's social circle had always been small, though; never what anyone would call a social butterfly by any stretch of the imagination. nevertheless, she begins her patrol and he falls into step.

it is not quiet between them long, and she peers at him unable to hide the bafflement in her expression at the question. there was a first time for everything, blodreina supposed, and that was certainly the first time she'd ever been asked why she was patrolling. it forces her to remind herself that this ivory man does not know her and from a third party observation her desire to be out on the borders might look a bit strange ...even if it made her a bit disgruntled feeling like the wolves of disapora saw her as a mother and nothing else. yes. she was a mother but that didn't mean she couldn't continue being the fierce warrior she'd always been.

i am a warrior. blodreina tells him simply. she, personally, thought the kill marks on her shoulder and the scars from her tussle with shardik should be tell-tale enough that she was more than she seemed but she couldn't pretend to know what strangers thought of her upon first ( or second ) glance.
