YOU'LL KNOW I WASN'T JOKING WHEN YOU SEE THEM TOO
The leader stepped up to her other side, killers drawn to the flame and tinge of death all the same. The typhoon was a crew- a family. They would always be the monster to their enemies, but to themselves? Argus knew otherwise. She did not shift- or squirm away from the leader's side, did not avoid his gaze or challenge it. This was her home now, and for once in a very long time- it honestly felt like home.
And then the other broke in riviting sobs, she was too distracted to see the crewmemeber hobble up. Her red eyes zeroed in on her family that was crying. Her wing extended, Brushing around amaranth without really touching her as she nodded along to the other. "The first is always the hardest." Argus spoke, her voice matching the others to comfort. "Listen Amar, this is a dog-eat-dog kinda world, and people will come and they will try to kill you- but you? You don't have to kill to live. You are safe here, even from yourself in need be. You don't have to kill- it is a choice entirely up to you." Argus kept her voice low, allowing the other to stutter out that she didn't mean to, and she felt something in her chest twist uncomfortably.
Didn't mean to kill, but did it anyway? It wasn't a puzzle, it was a confession. Dark eyes zeroed in on her crew member before repeating. "It is your choice, and no one else's" It sounded like control, and instantly she looked around herself. Empty beach beside those there, no one with any kind of sinister look in their eye.
