Her reaction was just a little violent, and it shivered Oriena with amusement. Not that she was surprised Nox was the object of such frustration. A brow rose at the threat, not quite sure what she made of it. Did she care if the woman was trying to kill him? Not really; at least not on a personal level, but she wasn’t entirely blind to the way the ijiraq had twisted her either. Even before its influence she had had a fondness for those who wielded the same power, though it could hardly be called loyalty. Now, though? Discomfort pierced for the vice of those forced emotions. Her gaze narrowed, unsure upon whom to exact an outlet for that irritation.
She watched the woman for a moment longer. She doubted Yun had been ruminating on incentives to offer a man she couldn’t find. And certainly not one she planned to kill. Ori scented that secret, but she let it lie.
“Oh, so you lost him.” A sharp smile, just before the bellow came from below. She recognised that voice, and she wasn’t particularly glad to hear it.
