<div class="floatleft">(http://i5.photobucket.com/albums/y173/SettyJenesequah/RP/Noqs_zpsf3eebf1d.jpg)</div><strong>Name:</strong>Xynoqsezoiea<br/><strong>Current Form:</strong>Draconic<br/><strong>Players Nearby:</strong>Too many to individually name<br/><strong>Location:</strong>Beach on the coast<br/><hr/><br/>As Vain moved to stand beside her, Noqs began to truly realize just how many of her kin were attempting to dismember the creature standing before her. Clawed feet shifted uneasily as she took few steps back and away, not wishing to be the target for a mis-aimed attack on the crab. Already, she was too close to the pincered creature to feel even remotely comfortable.<br/><br/>It was clear by Leth’s attack that the inky particles had managed to affect it somehow, but Noqs was still uncertain. Something in the back of her mind was telling her not to be on the offense with this creature; to simply bide time and protect herself.<em>Unnatural and vile and disturbing,</em>was Xynoqsezoiea’s response to Vain’s comment on the creature.<br/><br/>Thankfully, her nestmates’ inborn abilities seemed to be doing some amount of damage to the beast, but not without their consequences. Valoren was now missing quite a decent chunk of scaling; it was only a matter of time before the crab gained more points on this battlefield. Noqs’ violet-scaled head tilted some in Vain’s direction at his mention of human phrases.<em>Fire with fire? That sounds . . . Odd. And hardly productive.</em>Noqs considered this for a moment, watching her nestmates swoop, dive, and otherwise distract the creature.<br/><br/>Her thoughts were distracted by the exchanged communications of backing the creature into the water, Noqs’ curiosity flaring as to how this would all play out. This simple fact kept her rooted to her spot on the beach, watching as her kin continued to lay claw, tooth, and breath on the creature. She did not see visible proof that water truly harmed it . . . In all honesty, it was still a crab, which meant it would likely feel right at home in the deeper depths of the ocean. Or burrowed in the sand (provided it could find a bank big enough), for that matter.<br/><br/>Noqs, however, had already been shunned and ignored by her kin when she attempted to share what information she knew, and—as such—decided to keep her mind closed off to all but Vain when next she spoke.<em>Darkness or not, this is still a water creature. I do <strong>not</strong> think pushing it into its preferred habitat will negatively effect it.</em>Let them figure out on their own if water would truly do the trick. With that thought, she took another step back, bumping her horned head lightly against Vain’s side as she did so; a physical suggestion to step out of the potential line of fire.
