the stake that sticks out gets hammered down

It may have made sense to start the battle, or the raid in the night. Viper couldn't disagree, but she didn't necessarily like it. She was much more a sleeper, but she had nights in her life where she had to suffer through no sleep so she was no stranger to the feeling. She had a moderately tough life, at least learning to survive on her own since under six months of age. So there was really little that bothered her physically.

She was no stranger to the northern lands either, she had lived most of her life up here. So she wasn't bothered by the cold terrain either. She walked up beside Chimera, he really did look like a monster next to her. She was tiny compared to the ones beside her, but that didn't make her less fierce. She didn't look to Chimera though, only standing beside him with a small curl in her jowls while she waited for the upcoming fight.
