Lake Rodney Kill Wanheda, and you command death.

praimfaya has come to expect others to respond tentatively to her trig greeting, knowing that it is close enough to common for the puzzle pieces to fit together without too much issue. what she does not expect is to be responded to with a question in flawless trigedasleng. she is taken aback but smoothly hides her surprise. as far as she was aware verx was the only bloodkru but she wonders if this is one of drakru's stragglers. blodreina had begun to open up prior to her death and praimfaya was aware that drakru likely thought of her mother ( and verx ) as natrona's. unfortunately, while blodreina had told her much there was still parts she hadn't — and would never — hear.

no, praimfaya replies. my turf is south of here in the fen. 'broken antler fen' sounds so clumsy upon her tongue ( she much prefers roangeda ) and automatically assumes he will know which territory she means by calling it 'the fen'; accompanied by a slight directional gesture of her muzzle.

you are kru. praimfaya does not word it as a question — there is no doubt in her mind that he is. who else can speak trig so flawlessly? i am praimfaya eyjolfur kom roankru, worlida and future wanheda of roangeda. she introduces herself using all of her titles. daughter of blodreina. wanlida. she knows that mentioning her mother's name might be a risk but her mother has died ...died protecting her ( future ) commander-of-death. the title feels more like morbid prophecy now than just something to scare her enemies.
