Xunari didn't feel the need to be any more involved in the skirmish than she already had been - between Zahtria and her boytoy, the "foe" had decided that valour wasn't to be found in mindless bravery this day. Then, naturally, decided to try and speak to the Queen in the middle of her approach...

Xunari was not accustomed to physical contact that didn't involve knives - either verbal in the form of vicious whispers or, like, literal metal daggers. She tolerated it when it was family because she was able to avoid being killed. When it was Zathria? She was a little bit less reluctant - and...

Xunari was not someone given to enjoying displays of wealth or ceremony but she understood why it was required. In the end, she knew that her position as the head of her house meant that she needed to attend more of the type of functions that she hated than not. Because if she let her cousins...

Thankfully Beksesha managed to grab the control rod and the demon was slowed enough that its last act of spite against her was able to be cut off by the Queen. Having been thrown to the side by the grasping limb, Xunari pulled herself up to her feet with a grimace. Thankfully it was nothing...

A control rod eh? That would make sense - she doubted even the most foolish of Drow would make summon something like this with no hope of controlling it. The damned thing might have been magical or even divine but Drow were Drow and the desire to control others was something of a constant in...

Oh. Well... that was unsettling to say the least. Deadened as some of her emotions had been since the grey thoughts had invaded her mind after her mother's death, even she wasn't able to fully look upon the creature being summoned with calm and poise. Still, she could pretend very well indeed...

Its master did not call it back. Jumping back to avoid its desperate swing of claws even as gravity crushed at its skull from multiple angles, Xunari let out a soft and quiet sigh. And clicked her fingers, flaring her magic as she overloaded the runes with power. A sickening sound would...

Xunari huffed once, jumping to the side as her blood splattering against the face of the pouncing tiger that had attempted to crush her. It was an odd choice of a battle companion in her estimation - tigers and most other large cats were ambush predators and this was, by any and all estimations...

Xunari clicked her tongue. Always someone who wanted to step up and claim that the Old Ways needed to be observed - that it was by a younger heir to a House was rather disappointing though. Perhaps, though, it was Xunari who was the strange one, to be the head of a House and care for the future...

Xunari merely raised her head slightly in acknowledgement that she had heard Nimruil speak. It was a dismissive and accenting motion all at the same time, the kind of thing that was expected in conversation between a Drow and a manling. Still, he was polite enough so she didn't throw out the...

Panic and death were not, typically, heralds of great changes in the positive direction. They were far more often the vanguard of a great and terrible future. If she was more dramatic, Xunari might have been worried but it wasn't something she had ever been prone to. Her general melancholy...

Matron Beksasha? Ah fuck a duck, that was a name Xunari recognised and, as expected, she really didn't like the fact that she recognised it. Instead of reacting overly, she merely nodded and took a second to scream internally about how unfair this shit had gotten, really fucking fast. After...

Oh one of the menfolk got lashed anyway? Xunari watched it happen some some level of detachment before sighing and making sure to adopt a bored expression. People who liked to torture slave-stock in public liked people to watch and be interested. To some of them it was as close as they would...

Oh things just kept getting better and better! Now her mistake was causing drama between some in the street and a random assortment of men-folk who had wandered down here. Far be in from her to intercede on behalf of random men she didn't care for, but it was her mistake that had caused this...

Xunari had something of an odd fall from grace - her appetite for war and combat had dried up with the unexpected death of her mother. Despite being her mother's only heir, her aunts had done the reasonable thing as most Drow were want to do and immediately tried to assassinate her to gain...
