**He stares as she rips the woman to shreds. He raises an eyebrow in surprise. Then slowly, he claps and smiles.** I'm proud of you. You've come a long way from the defenseless fox you once were.

**He looks down to the bundle in his arms. It seems to be triggering a memory...—**

**He snatches his dagger.**

A strong warrior needs a sharp weapon to match. And though this mere child hasn't wronged you... It is the hellspawn of those who did. And for that, *Death is the only redemption*.

**He gently places the dagger on the baby's lip, and with one cut he spills all manners of red sludge onto the ground, letting it be consumed by the fire. The child convulses, then the wailing stops. Knox looks at Coral without remorse.**

Let it be known this village burns in the name of Kahlo! The name of justice! And... In the name Coral Magrnuff.

**What remains of the child is left in his arms. He makes sure it's dead, then gestures for them to leave.**

Next stop, the capital. Then the world will be ours.~
David
**She turn back to normal, still panting, trying to comprehend the previous actions, Argon is the one who helps her stand up, looks around while lowering her ears** Al... Alright...
Syble
|| I love how he gives off so many red flags and she's still falling for him 😭
Brian
**As they're leaving, he looks over his shoulder and smiles.** You look like a goddess. Are you alright?
Marshall
|| Being raised by animals be like
David
**She keeps walking in shock, then looks at him and her tail softly wags** If... If you say so...
Miranda
**He tries to lay low as he arrives into the isle, waiting for raven and puts on something to cover his face** This hoodie should do...
Brian
**He takes her hand into his. Gently, he traces her palm, the blood on his mixing with hers, but he doesn't seem to notice.**

Do me a favor. Don't ever let others tell you that you're a monster. No matter how badly they want to scar you. And no matter how frugal your sanity may seem, or how many enemies want you dead. That's something you'll become accustomed to over time.

**He's silent for a while as they escape the flames. When they make it to safety, he lifts her chin and looks into her eyes.** I was... Wrong. About you.

Who would've thought? The little fox was actually a lovely lady.~
Marshall
|| I CANT TRUST HIM
Syble
|| GOOD, YOU SHOULDN'T

|| I can't wait for Ilya to appear and verbally wreck his ass
David
N-nonsense... **She looks at his eyes while soflty blushing, which wasnt noticeable due to all the blood on her body, she nuzzles his hand and softly wags her tail** Can we find a river? I really want everything off my body...
Brian
I can take you to the grandest bathhouses in Kahlo instead.~
David
That will take hours for us to arrive... **She pouts while moving her ears towards a sound on the bushes, her pupils turn into slits as she soflty growls** Someone survived...?
Brian
**He holds his arm in front of her and pulls his blowgun out.** Stay back.

I'll kill the fucker.
Syble
|| **V i o l e n c e**
David
**Then her pupils gree big as she lowered her ears** Wait... I recognize their smell...
Kevin
**A gray haired boy pops out of the bushes while cleaning his clothes, panting qnd suddenly staying still when spotting st the couple, making eye contact with Knox first and then with the fox** Oh it was you...
Brian
**Sharply.** Get on the ground, foe.

What are you and what is your business here?
David
ILYA! **Even before the man could speak she jumped towards him while smiling widely and wagging her tail non-stop**
Brian
**He stares at the two, his hand shaking clenched around the blowgun.** Coral. Let him go until I've *Dealt* With this stranger.
David
He's not a stranger..! He's an old friend... **She said while looking at Knox, softly holding Ilya's arm**
Brian
**He glares where they're touching. Something in him is... Intense and heavy.** I said. Let. *Go.*
Miranda
**He watches their encounter intently from afar, as he was exploring the area**
Syble
|| wait who is he watching
James
|| knox being angry at the encounter with ilya and wanting to leave

|| bc qaysar has been at the isle for the past day waiting for raven and finding a good area to talk with her once she arrives without anyone noticing them
