He spoke in circles, he tore her down, claimed to presume what she knew and did not know. He spoke as if she was not but an insolent child playing a fools game. He spoke as though her talons and her teeth had not torn through a hundred souls. Her eyes would drift shut in silent contemplation, her chest would expand and the air would vacate her lungs. She would think heavy and hard about the decision she was making. Her life had been a series of following orders from superiors. She had led charges, had been in command of companies, but she had not been born to rule, at least not in her old packs belief, but this was not her old pack, this was now her home. She could take Kaien at his word, she could trust him, follow him back to Tortuga and await to see if his words held true... but it gave their adversaries time. Time to act and time to think. It was a gamble, one that could so easily be taken advantage of. Statistics were against them. Logic was against them, it was foolish to postpone the inevitable. He clearly did not take her fear to heart. He seemed more annoyed by her persistence than anything else, what leader did not take their members terrors to heart? He had done little but talk her down. She doubted anything would change. Who here was truly foolish? Or perhaps they both were? Regardless she could bite her tongue no longer. She was set in her ways and her weight would shift. Action, she had always been a creature of action. Breath escaped her in a heavy sigh, lips parting to speak.

"I am not as insolent as you make me out to be, I have presented to you my fears and you cast them aside. I may never have led an entire pack, but I have led squadrons, and militant soldiers. I have been responsible for others lives. I know what it means to sacrifice for your company, do not paint me so naive... I trust you Kaien, I have too or I would never have placed a paw within Tortuga, but I cannot be a part of such indecision. The time for patience, indecision, and more deliberation cannot be allowed to continue, complacency has never suited me. Action must take precedence, walls are tumbling down and bonds grow more frayed... "She would pause here hesitating a brief moment, before her two toned gaze hardened and turned fierce. "I challenge you for the right to rule Tortuga. State your terms."

The dame would set herself in a defensive position, joints bent for stability and tail sticking out behind her for balance. Her head would lower, even with the rest of her body, in the perfect position for defense or for the attack.

((( OOC: As per the rules, you get to decide the rounds and you get first attack ^^)))
