Torikai's voice was still calm, but it was a hard, icy calm rather than her earlier relaxed peace.  First she makes her human cry, then she compares her to<em>poultry? </em><br/><br/>"You know," she said with clearly false lightness as she stepped past Riku towards the hellhound. "They do say you're meant to neuter your dogs." Her talons flexed in anticipation as she pushed out with her powers. It was nowhere near as flashy as Renoa's fire, but the breeze that pushed against the hellhound would certainly felt, especially as the force behind it increased.<br/><br/>"I doubt you understand the mechanics, but fire needs air just as much as you do." Torikai gave a mocking little tilt of her head. "And guess who controls that here? Last chance, mutt.<em>Sit."</em><br/><br/>Squaring off to fight like this was probably not the best idea Torikai had ever had, even ignoring the obvious MON agents present, but Torikai had always had ... issues with this sort of thing. She didn't care at all who she stepped on - she rather enjoyed it, if she was honest - but having that sort of attitude directed back at her? She did not react to that at all well, only tolerating it from her mother - who was probably worse than she was.<br/><br/>She wouldn't go so far as to start the fight herself, at least not yet, and definitely not with Riku so close, but once he moved away she would just love the chance to claim self-defence. Outside of a few quite specific categories, after all, words were quite different from actions where the law was concerned.
