Balrog's obsidian stare lifted as Citadel's enormous form emerged from the misty field - there was no mistaking the silhouette crowned as it were. The ravens on his shoulders could sense the emotion rising in Balrog, shifting uneasily where they perched. The battlefield felt colder than the frozen field he'd gotten lost in not long ago, the tension thick like the frost Citadel carried in his eyes. Balrog's heart twisted; anger, betrayal and... relief warring within him.
When Citadel's question came, Balrog couldn't help but be a bit apprehensive. There was so much unspoken between them, but perhaps this was the best way to express it. "Sure," Balrog said evenly, the barest tremor in his voice betraying him by showing his emotions. His eyes, although the pitched black of stares, seemed to glimmer with a burning fire as he locked on to Citadel.
His bracers shimmered as he adjusted his posture, jaw tight. Despite his guarded tone, his tail gave a single sway against his will - a silent acknowledgement that he was, indeed, relieved to see his brother, even in the chaos. He lowered it afterward and raised his hackles, his lips curling into a snarl as he set his defenses like they had learned as pups. He knew he was no match for his brother's experience, but he would show him his potential even so.
Without warning, Balrog lunged forward, his obsidian dagger now unsheathed and flashing as he swung low, aiming for Citadel's leg. His movements were sharp, deliberate, and fueled by the churn of emotions threatening to spill over within him. The ravens screeched as they took flight during his lunge in a flurry of wings.
