Yet another change took place within the stranger, notable again through his words. Natalya grew irritated, anger bubbling within her, but she would not let it surface. It was abundantly clear to her now that she stood in the face of insanity, wounded and more vulnerable than she had been in years. Not that she was worried for her life, but... She was not in a good state to fight. The terrain was unfamiliar and her toes were broken.
The slight piercing feeling of the raven's claws in her shoulder warned her that she was dealing with a greater threat than she could hear (what a help a set of eyes could be) so she decided to forego her pride somewhat. Without another word about his name or what he wanted, Natalya rose to her three good feet. The pain medicine had yet to kick in, but she would not lean her weight on this male. She positioned herself to the left of him, keeping her damaged paw away, and spoke in an even tone, showing him that she had no fear of him.
Let's be off, then.
