[it's painful to hear melina like that and that is a sound that will haunt them if they survive this, but actually, you know what hurts more sharply right now? roxana trying to cut off their head!
when the blade begins to dig into their neck, they snap to their senses. there's no time to think, as they act purely on instinct.
(the day they met, garou had had his hand around clarte's neck. what can you do to stop me? he'd asked. what could clarte do, if garou wanted to tear them from limb to limb. and as they'd demonstrated to him that day—)
—their hand whips out to strike roxana in the solar plexus, with enough force to hopefully get her away from them. with a flick of their other hand, they send another crack of crystal magic at her.]
... Clever.
[even now, however, they hold no bitterness, not even for her methods. they won't fault her for doing whatever she can, especially when they knew already of the lengths she'd go to.
"would you say living is the most important thing, roxana?"
"it's one of the most important things. why exist, if not to live?"]
