Redtail Rise i've been watching him for my entire life

she stands a moment, trying to catch her breath;

breathe-in, breathe-out. breathe-in, breathe-out.

then: my ma, Avicus says, still slightly winded. kill by a bigh whihh' woman. i'll kill her, an' you will help.

it isn't an option; it's a command. she stares into his eyes, deep and vibrant as fresh-spilled blood. compelling, really, and she cannot help but maintaining the look as she speaks again.

i leadhh, she stresses. but you. . . fighh' leadh'her. she pauses, and then hopes to get the word she's heard so often in fever-dreams right. Berserkr.

a little slurred in the middle, but thus dubbed. she glares at him, questioning.
