The dance was fluid, graceful... and Maroluna was having an absolute BLAST.

It was so rare that she ever find this many people to dance with, but when she did, HO! It was the dance of a lifetime! Literally, lifetime. Because it is SUPER DANGEROUS.

This many angry Forsworn would gladly rip her pelt from her body and use it as a rug for their creepy torture dungeons, but an experienced thief and close-quarters fighter such as herself was just toying with them.

Two Reachmen charged in her direction from opposite, flanking positions, teeth-studded clubs and bone-blades raised in challenge. She stood there, keenly aware of their positions in relation to her own, waiting till exactly the right moment to roll out of the way, causing the two to collide. While one was still reeling, the Khajiit gleefully took her balled fist and threw a punch directly into the face of one.

The first Reachmen recovered and attempted to hit her with his club, only for her to side-step his attack and take the heel of her hand right to his Adam’s Apple, causing the man to cough violently and drop the weapon in sheer shock. With her other hand she extended her claws and swiped over his face, blinding him.

Searing pain tore up her back. She turned with a yowl of pain as the Forsworn she previously punched in the face had finished one big, jagged swipe in a diagonal down her back. Oooohhh, that was going to be a terror to deal with.

The young Khajiiti woman hissed angrily, muzzle wrinkling angrily as she flashed her teeth at him.
“You’re not even worth making into a rug, CAT!”
“By Azura, can you stupid humans come up with a DIFFERENT INSULT?!”

She hissed, crouching low and pouncing on him.
“Rug this, rug that, can’t you ever be original?!”

The two tumbled head over heels, the young woman hissing and spitting as she knocked the weapon out of the Forsworn’s hand, leading the two into a wrestling match. At first it seemed the large man would be at a clear advantage, but the tiny Khajiit was just too nimble for him, easily predicting his moves and countering them faster than he could readjust. He ended up face down on the ground, beaten up, but fortunately for him, not dead.

She huffed an exhale and shook her head, flipping a little spit and blood off her face before a chill spread up her spine quite literally as a Forsworn mage charged at her, spewing a Frostbite spell from her hand.

This is too much. I should just cut my losses and run. She thought angrily, growling in frustration before turning on her heel and running away, taking off like a shot on all fours, away from the battle. She didn’t care if she hadn’t found the Briar Heart. At least she wouldn’t be dead if she left now.

“PISS OFF!”

Her ears swiveled at the semi-familiar voice of the Dawnguard hunter, and she turned her head to look at him. His fight was far from over, but hell, he was wearing heavy plate armor! What did she care? He was probably gonna be fine. She was prepared to just keep running, but then... HE appeared.

The Briar Heart. The entire reason she came here.

Her path changes very suddenly with a rapid twist of her tail as she watched the Imperial struggle for his life, her eyes hyper focused on the burly man with the void in his chest.

When the werewolf dashed passed her, she slowed to less of a mad dash and more of a curious trot as the werewolf began to... defend her previous assailant. Oh what a turn of events!

She watched from the sidelines, standing up full on her two legs to watch as the pair worked together, the Dawnguard delivering the final blow. The young Khajiit used the fight in front of her as distraction from the fiery pain in her back. Oh that wound was going to be a pain to dress later.

Once the Briarheart was dead, and the tension started to fill the air between the previous adversaries, the young Khajiit walked right between them without a care in the world and crouched beside the now dead Forsworn.

“... well, I hope you finally met your gods, whatever they may be.” She muttered as she reached in with her fingers and pulled the Briar Heart from the dead man’s chest cavity. “Agghhh, finally.”

When she stood with the little treasure in her hand, she turned to look at the two warriors and glanced back and forth at each one.

“... weeeeeelll, I got what I came here for, sooooo I’m gonna go ahead and... get going.... bye!”
She turned to scamper away, only to have a rush of agony shoot up her spine as that damned wound on her back smarted and she stumbled, almost falling to her knees as a sudden light-headedness washed over her. Had she really bled that much? She couldn’t have. However, anyone looking at her back could tell it was a deep wound, and it would surely get infected quickly if not treated properly.

Decimus was the first to look away.

"For now," he agreed, though his tone simmered with reluctance.

All the same, it could not be helped; the battle was over. It had been over from the moment she had aimed her arrows at the Briarheart's back.

From the moment she had chosen to save his life.

Frustration welled up inside of him as bitter as any medicine, but he forced himself to swallow it down into the pit of his stomach where it bubbled like hot acid. With a last frigid look into her now grey eyes, he leaned over and yanked his sword clear from where it had passed straight through the Briarheart's ribcage from the back. He had barely recovered it when suddenly the Khajiit from before darted in and plucked the heart clear out of the dead man's chest. Such a thing was something Decimus had seen before during his time with the Legion, but now the sight made him feel slightly ill for some reason.

Perhaps he was just tired . . .

"Agghhh, finally," the cat muttered as she straightened, the heart perched between her claws.

He regarded her for a moment, then lowered his blade under the presumption of cleaning off in the grass. In truth, he decided, it was best that the Khajiit got what she wanted. It meant that there would be no more distractions while he figured this mess out. And that there would be no bystanders should he and the werewolf decide to come to blows once again.

Perhaps sensing the unresolved tension in the air, the cat suddenly gave an awkward shuffle.

“... weeeeeelll, I got what I came here for, sooooo I’m gonna go ahead and... get going.... Bye!”

Decimus glanced up, perhaps to track her movements as she left, but any and all plans of that nature faded as the cat made it all of about three steps before suddenly dropping to her knees.

That was when he saw it: fresh blood oozing from an open wound. He stopped scuffing his sword at once and buried the point hard into the earth.

"And where do you think you're going like that?" he demanded. "Judging from that hole in your back, you won't last a league."
