now that i've become who i really am i'm stronger than i've been before
First came Grey Wind and his pups, minus Macaria, but she was here, listening. Kari could sense that much. Then came Kershov speaking of his crimes, and Kari scoffed, that was it? But then he bit himself and asked his pack to do the same, as she was readying herself to get up and follow out his commands. Athene beat her to it and then turned to the pack, talking how Kershov was their king and we shouldn't harm him. "He is the strength and heart of this pack, to pack law there must be adherence" oh bullshit. Kershov is pack law. Another fae showed up, trying to heal Kershovs wounds. Followed by her pups, Kershov's story rang true, some of it. Kari scoffed at Athene and then when Grey Wind spoke up she scoffed again. Kari rose to her pistons, shaking briefly as she took a few steps to stand out more than she already did, keeping her distance from Athene for now and not turning her back on her, she simply looked around and then opened her maw to speak.
"Athene, you say to pack law there much be adherence, but, Kershov is indeed pack law. What he says goes, end of. If he wants us to spill his blood for the specific crimes he's committed then for fuck's sake, let him let us. Stand down, you are not the ruler of this pack, nor am I. Kershov is. And Grey Wind, it isn't what we base our future on if we do what Kershov is telling us to do. He is King, what he says goes in this pack land. Not what Athene says or me or you or anyone else but Kershov"
Now she tensed her muscles and moved forwards, towards Athene, the other fae and her pups, and Kershov. The more she thought about how Athene acted just now, as if she ruled over them, the more pissed she got. By the time she got up to where they were, her hackles were raised high and her plume was whipping back and forth. Raising her lip just slightly and licking her lips after as if to dare Athene to do anything for just walking up and stopping in front of her. Kari stared her down, the pissed of kalak was ready if Athene did decide to lash out at her. Kari's time training herself after Kershov had disappeared had made her muscles more defined and thus made her stronger and in some ways, more agile. Now, her lyrics came out low enough for Athene and Kershov to hear only, coming out in low snarls.
"This is not a battle to pick Athene, he is simply wanting punishment for his crimes, let him have it."
