Gevar's hands tightened into fists. "Why are you off the mountain?" She repeated.

"I-- I didn't like the cold." Aleksey responded quickly. His eyes found Hitan and he gave the angel a pleading look.

"Didn't like the cold." Gevar echoed. Her voice was distant. She was stalling for time as her mind was racing. Her original plan had been to kill whoever had come out of that house, but this was certainly a monkey wrench. She could still kill him no problem, but word might get up the mountain considering that was his birthplace... if she let him live, he could still tell them...

Aleksey interpreted the bird's silence and tone as threatening. He dragged himself further backward in an effort to create some distance. "I also wanted to establish a trade route from here to there--"

"Shut up! I'm trying to think."

"Think? My home is on fire, and you started it! And for what? As far as I can tell, this is needless, senseless, and--"

"SHUT UP!" Gevar lunged forward and kicked him in the chest, sending the mortal sprawling. "If you talk again, I'll break your neck. I might just do it anyways, since you've been so annoying for me to deal with."
