Blacktail Deer Plateau of star & sea

WOW okay this blew up, we'll do rounds from this point on! next round is feb. 7th unless everyone posts before then.

mei couldn't tell if ying was lying or not, & that terrified her. still, her reassurance wasn't good enough for the pale beta, who snapped at huā. her eyes flung open, & she rolled onto her side to watch on. she was sure huā was lying about considering them family, though even mei could not deny that they were grateful for the sanctuary rusalka gave them in what was an especially harsh winter for the sisters. but it wasn't like they hadn't contributed to the pack; they didn't owe them their lives, & she'd be damned if anyone believed they did.

her fear turned to fury, especially as another approached with hostility shot the sisters' way, then another, tense & bristling — aningan. brutes! they were all fucking brutes! despite the wobbling of her legs, she stood, eyes hard as diamonds. this wrong! she shouted, heart thundering at this point as all eyes were no doubt dead-set on her. she was unbelievably furious, but the last thing she wanted was a fight, especially when they were so severely outnumbered. you have problem with us, you talk us, not attack! we do not fight, she said with a commanding glance at her sisters, daring them to disobey.

her glare fixed on the pale bitch who'd tackled her. you want to know where my loyal-tees? she dared to take a step forward, blinded by her rage. my loyal-tees with family. family do not attack each other!

YOU NOT ONE OF US!!

mei's voice cracked as the water overflowed from her raging whirlpool eyes. her exclamation ricocheted off the trees & pierced the heavens above, leaving her throat raw. then, hoarse & quiet, she uttered, we do you favor & leave, right now. her eyes swept across the crowd that'd gathered & landed on her sisters. unless physically apprehended, the broken priestess would finally storm out of this fucking prison once & for all.
