Azure's eyes narrowed, taking in every detail of Jael's stance. He recognized the set of her shoulders, the tension in her limbs, the readiness in her eyes. She was braced for conflict. It should have been a deterrent, a signal to back off, but to Azure, it was merely an invitation.

"You're on edge, but you stand your ground well," Az observed, his voice low. "Quite the picture, aren't you?" His stance shifted, muscles coiling like a serpent ready to strike. Every fiber of his being vibrated with anticipation. "A little warrior, poised and ready. But do you know what I see?" His gaze raked over her, taking in every detail, every potential weakness. "I see a challenge. A game."

He stepped closer - a predator circling its prey, each movement smooth and deliberate, each step a silent threat. "Tell me, do you like to run?" His voice dropped to a predatory whisper. "Because I'd love to see you try. I'll even give you a way to win, just to make it that much more fun."

Azure turned slightly, gesturing with his nose towards the west, where this plain met the next. "There are remnants of a few buildings over there. Make it to them, and I'll let you leave unharmed. However," He paused, locking his gaze with hers, ensuring she felt the weight of his words. "every moment you’re within these borders, you’re mine. If I catch you..." A tilt of his head displayed his open consideration. "You know, it's been a while since I drowned anyone. So bloodless, though." An audible 'tsk' cracked off his tongue. "I'll give it some thought and get back to you, once you're caught."

With that, he stepped back, giving her space - granting her a head start, should she choose to take it.
