You think I'll be the night sky,
so that you can be the star?

Oh, she imagines that she’d get along well with Wessex, whether through sparring or just generally being strong women, something would align. She sees it now as the challenge rises between them, and the Harpy shifts into feathers of ivory and ebony, circling up into the sky with scarlet eyes that watch for the Ascended woman. And when she dives, she aims for the arm, but Wessex is fast and quick, and she calculates it a smidge too late — not realizing how quickly the ascendeds could move. How flexible they may be.

So she dives, aiming for that arm only to follow it as the woman rolls and points it up. And thank the gods it’s a wooden sword, because the Harpy tries to swoop to avoid it, instead her large wingspan becoming a con to her form rather than a pro, and she grazes the inside of her feathered chest and edge of her arm with the sword’s point. She swoops up then to shift back into herself with a bright laugh as she turns back to Wessex. “Very nice!” She comments, a grin spreading across her features.

i'll swallow you whole.
