Silvertip Mountain loss of breath

a small dark shadow, at her throat.

once upon a time, Avicus wouldn't have hesitated to create a diplomatic crisis by throttling this stupid kid. 

but this wasn't "once upon a time."

she backs up hastily and lets loose a howl, at least for as long as she can, for @Astara and @Merrick. she will feint and backpedal for as long as possible; she doesn't want to make an enemy of her people.

is this growing up?

she wars with the impulse to show her might, chin raised sky high, bearing the blows the girls inflicts upon her person.
