Juniper had barely even noticed the man approaching before he shouted at her. She turned, confused by the hatred in his voice; her eyes widened as she saw him already launching an attack. What had she done to earn this? What bone could he have to pick with her?
It had to have something to do with the Ascended. What other conflict could have brought him to violence, simply as a result of her being Fae?
But she could ask questions later. For now, she had to defend herself. Caught unprepared, she tried and failed to dodge Amun's chain, which wrapped around one of her ankles with bruising force. Quickly she moved to pry the chain off; the last thing she wanted was to be pinned down -- or worse, tugged about at the end of his chain.
