Walking with a somewhat annoyed gait, Lia proceeded towards her rabbit snare which lay thankfully a ways from the crowd of people she'd left behind. Nervously, the Ixifar itched at the small of her back and her face twitched. Wren Wraith. Hyde had a sick sense of humor that was for certain. "One bird for another? Tch..." She spat in the disgust. Groaning in a surging wave of irritation, the woman, turned to where she was walking backwards, hunched over a bit and yelled out. "YEAH! WELL COME GET ME YOU BLOODY LITTLE STARLING! UUUGGGH!!!" Pausing Lia stared at the small dots of the others conversing with frustrated eyes. She hastily grabbed a stone and chucked it at them, though it thudded back to the ground a good distance before the group. She stood back up and turned around to continue on, while rolling her eyes. "Great. Act like a child, because that clearly solves everything." She muttered.
Lia jerked back, rather startled by Binx's sudden appearance. She winced sheepishly and rubbed her face in her hand. Sighing, she replied blandly, "Very." Eyeing the pale woman, a thought crossed the Ixifar's mind. Lia's face tightened a bit, but kept from speaking more, for the moment.
A thin eyebrow arched in amusement at Lia's reaction, visible through the opening of the mask that covered her face. "I'm going to guess that it has something to do with that," she said, using her thumb to gesture towards the source of the chatter still going on a ways off. The hint of irritation in her voice suggested that the excitement had interrupted something, most likely her sleeping. "What is going on?"
Zwey heard a whistling over his head as a stone flew towards the gathered citizens. Sitting in the tavern had bored him, and he had decided to continue his search for the crystals he needed. But the Ixifar and the Urodeq seemed much more interesting. He walks over and greets them
Lia couldn't resist smirking a bit. She nodded. Risking a glance back towards the crowd. "Nothing." She blurted out somewhat quickly. "..Nothing worth concerning about anyways. Just a...newcomer, and Jastrey being Jastrey." She kept her eyes steady on Binx, until Zwey's foot falls were close enough to merit attention. Lia resisted her gut reaction and nodded in return greating to the Angori.
Starling reappeard in a second whisp of smoke. A good ways from the group, she was in clear sight now of the woman she had heard shouting. She noted two other people had gathered near her. Nothing worth concerning about anyways. Just a... newcomer, and Jastrey being Jastrey.
"Nothing to be concerned about. Oh, sweet little birdy, you have grown up... at least some. Was that you I happened to hear screaming something about a 'bloody little wren' or did i imagine the sound? I was a touch far off." She smiled strolling up to the Ixifarian woman. She nodded briefly to the other two, before returning her smile to Lia.
Binx's owlish eyes darted over to Zwey, giving him a brief nod of acknowledgement, but Lia's hurried response had her wondering if there was something unsavory about this newcomer. She met the other woman's eyes without falter, her yellow orbs glinting with curiosity.
The other Uordeq emerging from a cloud of smoke was what broke her gaze. Binx's expression changed beneath her mask, eyes narrowing with instant suspicion of who she could only assume was the source of all of the excitement. Among the other odd things like the bird cage, the tattoo on her neck caught her attention in particular. It reminded her of her own clan in Shadelands, something she hadn't thought deeply about in quite some time despite the war. She did not speak or make any effort to greet this new woman, merely observing.
Lia gritted her teeth at hearing 'sweet little bird' slip from Wren's lips. Her icey eyes bore holes into the small Uordeq woman. It seemed like she was about to say something, but her mouth never opened. Instead, she looked away from the assassin to Binx and Zwey. "I have hunting to finish." She said, suggesting a farewell as she steped forward once more.
"I'll take that as a yes," She laughed lightly. "I'll leave you to your hunting and your friends, then, Lianna." Turning towards the trees, Wren slips in to the woods without another word. She heads in what appears to be the direction of town, but skirting the group from before to avoid further interruptions on her trip in to town.
Binx watched the two women, the unmistakable hostility between them proving to be quite the afternoon entertainment. As the two of them went their separate ways, she looked in the direction in which each one had previously stood, then to Zwey with a slight shrug that seemed to convey her having no idea what had actually just transpired.
"Frustrated?" A calm, female voice sounded from the trees a few feet from Lia. The typical commotion caused by newcomers in Jastrey, as well as the Ixifar's tantrum had drawn the pale woman from the nearby graveyard. Binx stood, leaning casually against the bark of a tree with her arms crossed over her chest and her bow slung over her back. She did not know the other woman well at all, only having seen her about town and the one time the Angori had tried to sell her.
