After Dean nabbed the collar and bailed, Aza mumbled a few things to the small empty room. At least one of those things was definitely "fuck." And then the man-shadow's discarded clothing dissipated to rejoin him, before she could even sort through the pockets for anything valuable. Figured.<br/><br/>Well, Dean was right in realizing he was totally ignorant in the ways of shapeshifting fox women. She went from two- to four-footed between steps, and by the time she was at the top of the steep stair the vivid red color had leached from her foxy coat to leave her the drab tawny shade of desert dust, a layer of which covered most of this city indoors and out. It wasn't a<em>pretty</em>color, but it was a practically<em>unnoticeable</em>one, especially when it moved on such small, soft feet.<br/><br/>Hugging the wall, she slunk down to peer at the action below, and had a really advantageous, gruesome view of Dean slaughtering the Spire soldiers before removing and pitching their heads out into the street. She cursed again, silently this time, feeling mildly ill with the amount and immediacy of the violence. Not to mention its smell. She considered setting up a howl to inform the cavalry that there was definitely a live dog-thing trapped in there, but after witnessing Dean's little display of barbarism in response to Methuseld's offer of "words," Aza was no longer certain how much she was worth alive to these two men. And here Dean had seemed so<em>friendly </em>in the tub.<br/><br/>Where was the collar? The sorceress would be displeased to lose it, but Aza was not at all convinced that was<em>her</em>problem. Her sharp eyes took in the blood wetting the floor of the clearest path of escape, then darted over to Donovan. There was a round-ish shape distorting one of the pouches he wore. That was probably the neckpiece, right? Fuck it. He could have it. Zozo could afford another.<br/><br/>It was quiet as the house waited for Methuseld's response to the murder of her men. Aza only hoped the General's next move wasn't to set the whole damn place on fire.
