Alena's blood was boiling as this man was screaming and reaching for his blade.   She had moved between Darion and Winnie and her spined chains were resting from her sleeves and draped onto the ground in a hostile manner.  She would fight and destroy everything on this ship if it meant protecting Winnie.  Things had gone from one extreme to another, she was exhausted and tried from having already fought three times in one night.  But this time she wouldn't bother restraining, he would die in an instant if he continued to move.  THe chains clinked with each soft movement of Alena as she breathed heavily under the mask as she could hear the discussion between W'ineton and her sister.  She would protect this moment with her own life.  Her breath was heavy enough to be heard at this point and she could continue to hear the antics of Zephyr and peered to him for only an instant peripherally before Parin jumped in and began to speak.  She had heard Winnie lay claim not only over herself but also vouching for Parin, it meant that the girl was an ally as well and slowly she heard the exclaimation and thought on when she could finally sleep.<br/><br/>Sleep....it was a beautiful thing she mused as her adrenalin began to fail to keep her as she stumbled forward a bit before shaking her head and reclaiming herself by snapping her chains back up into the sleeves.  She scruffed her voice forcefullyh as she spoke to try to keep herself awake.  "You should listen to the little one warrior...wasting your life here on nameless water rather than on the streets of a city or a battlefield would be a waste.....we have no intention of harming Mistress' people.  If you make yourself an enemy however.....I will destroy you.....and I mean that as to say....I will leave no flesh left on the bones when my blades begin to tear."<br/><br/>Alena was many things, controlled was the strongest aspect of her, and she knew that when exhausted she wouldn't be able to control the chains beyond a simple slaughter, and the results would become horrific.  She squinted her eyese slightly as she saw the small cloud forming behind Parin as her eyes failed to adjust on Mirri and she shook her head again.  She was delirious, Alena realized, her exhaustion was beginning to destroy her senses.  She smiled a bit looking over her shoulder for Winnie's approval, but only for a moment before snapping her attention back to Darion.<div class="messageTextEndMarker"> </div>
