Dragoncrest Cliffs I don't wanna be the right way round

blix is close enough to come meet the howl quickly, intercepting before nomi or dio have a chance to arrive. she has not gotten to flex on official drageda business since her promotion -- it's not cheka but it's something, a sign that nomi trusts her enough to assign her to hedakru (which she values mostly for the affirmation and not whatever power the rank might bestow.)

when she sees rose with the stranger she stops short, fighting off a burst of irritation she knows better than to act on by now. besides, more pressingly: the man she's with doesn't look good. frowning, the shilkru straightens a bit and comes closer, tilting her head sort of at rose as she speaks to the man. "who are you and why have you come to our borders?"
