Alys resisted the urge to take a step back as Maea's hungry gaze found her. She'd never met an Ancient, though the telltale horns gave the woman away, but she'd heard of their bloodlust. Her adrenaline spiked as she considered that she might be in danger, and that the only weapons she had at her disposal was a single dagger she wore on her belt and her pitiable hand-to-hand combat skills. She really needed to spend more time training.
And maybe a visit to the gods to get some armor would be good, too.
But she raised her head a little higher, refusing to retreat, and had just opened her mouth to offer healing again when Maea moved again - this time, to snap the bird's neck. A startled gasp fell from Alys's lips, the sharp intake of breath stark in the air between them as her dark eyes fell to the crow's mangled neck. A deep sense of sorrow took root in her chest - but not anger. Maea couldn't help that she'd been made into a predator. And predators had to eat.
It didn't mean Alys had to like it.
She swallowed the nausea that suddenly threatened - after all, if Maea could snap the crow's neck so easily, what might she do to a human? - and forced a nod. There was an awkwardness between them now that hadn't been there before, but Alys forced herself to stay in the rain for another moment, taking the offered bracelet with a hand that trembled slightly. "Do you need any help?" she asked.
