[Lavine]

Lavine put her hand to her face in shock. He had really scratched her, like a feral cat! She wiped the scratch again, but the blood hd already stopped and dried by now. It clearly wasn't serious, but it angered her further that he had landed a blow at all. She spit out her words with as much vigor as she could muster. "That's it. You asked for it!"

She swung her arm in a wide circle, winding up. Then, she launched a powerful blow to his shoulder. The impact was felt all the way back to her own shoulder so strong she wasn't sure who was hurt more; him or her. She heard a sickening crack and her heart jumped. I couldn't have done that. No, no... She stumbled back in the darkness and tripped over something unseen. Fear gripped her. Glass cut into her arms and knees where she'd fallen. She held up the remains to the light, turning it this way and that. Suddenly, she realized what it was. A broken picture frame. She must have shattered it during her punch. That would explain the sound too. A split-second of relief washed over her before her battle instincts kicked in again.

Her palms scraped the floor until she had gathered a good sized piece of glass. She held up the shimmering shard as though it were a dagger. Moonlight bounced through the still open window and gleamed off the glass, creating a shower of light across the room. Lavine said nothing, hoping he would understand and leave. She knew in her heart he wouldn't though. He was far too proud.

Valdyor felt the impact and thanked Viratas that his chitin armor was protecting him. A blow like that could have shattered bone in his fragile frame. He heard the crack and saw the broken picture frame. He scowled as she held the glass shard and, slowly, circled towards the open door. "Just remember, the longer a Symenestra waits, the more painful the revenge," he said, baring his fangs as he stepped outside. Once out, he turned and ran quickly along the streets, getting as much distance between the two as possible.

[Lavine]

The man's retreat surprised her. Lavine sat still for a moment, just staring at the glass. Slowly, she tucked it into the pocket of her cloak. No, She corrected herself, his cloak.

Lavine picked herself up off the floor with a grunt. Her palms stung and her heart raced. She couldn't forget his words. Just remember, the longer a Symenstra waits, the more painful the revenge. With a shudder, she tried to erase the memory of his deep, ruby eyes, staring her down. Lavine spared a few seconds to scoop up the glass and the frame and place them on a nearby stand. Silently, she apologized to whatever family lived here, and left the building.

She stepped into the quiet, innocently calm street, turned her back, and continued on as though nothing had happened. Now, the only evidence connecting her to the crime was the shard of glass digging into her side and her own guilty conscience.
