Shuriken had a lot to think about, especially her behavior towards her sweet sister before the illness very nearly took her. Ike didn’t want to think about what she’d have done if Iki died and she hadn’t apologized. Her elegant sister was still not yet fully recovered, so she had kept her distance. She brought gifts while Iki was sleeping, but she wasn’t ready to talk to her… not yet. It felt like she had lost her sister altogether, but she knew it was all of her own selfish doing. Now that it looked like their home was going to make a recovery the young princess was out on her own, sulking and feeling sorry for herself. Exactly what her parents discouraged her against.
White gloved paws carried her along on her own, she didn’t feel right being in the presence of other wolves either. Especially after everything with the Hallows and Ezra… Her pale cheeks flushed at the thought of him, in embarrassment and anger at herself. For believing she had a chance with someone like him. Ike shook herself and very nearly sent her trajectory into the river. That was why she didn’t deserve anything, not her sisters, not her pack, not her friend. She was defective, and wouldn’t measure up to anything as incredible as Iki.
Her inattentiveness was going to get her killed too. She didn’t even notice the boy walking up the bank until the roar made her jump as the massive cat raced up behind her. Sopping wet and crystal blind. The beast had obviously succumbed to madness. Thankfully its crystals eyes weren’t on her, they were on the horned boy over her shoulder. Before the princess could react, and all while her jaw was hanging open, the lion took aim at the slate wolf.
Shuriken reclaimed her wits but not in time to keep the wolf from being bowled over by the massive cat, it stood over him menacingly, and Ike was herself then charging for it. The stranger kicked at its belly at the same time Kiyohime found her mark. While it was taken aback by the boy’s attack her own came out of nowhere. Her antlers were still in velvet (thank goodness they were growing back!) so she was hesitant to use them. Instead she opened her mouth to reveal terrible teeth and she aimed her eagle like talons at the base of its neck, hoping to cause enough damage or at least make it retreat now that it was facing two well armed opponents. Ike claws with a fury and when her teeth caught purchase she shook with a vengeance.
