the more things change -- "reattaching"

[nemhain.]

Nemhain had not been around when the Mother and child had been gruesomely murdered by a hungry beast. She had been at came, eating her lunch and preening her feathers, when suddenly her body had been seized by pain and panic and agony, very much not her own. It had been startling to those nearby, to see a massive creature like her freezing and staggering, collapsing to the ground. Her mind was filled with visions of a pair of deer, with gleaming hopeful eyes and soft smiles, chatting casually about Elysium all until... snap. It was like a whirlwind of blood and death, and it was gone as quickly as it had come, leaving nothing but horror and guts in its wake. The sight of it, even just as a crude replication in her mind, was enough to make Nemhain nearly retch. She may have been a creature designed for combat and war, but even war had rules. It had lines that were not meant to be crossed, and that included violence against mothers and children. Yet, this cruel and untamed beast had just thrown that aside, and in the process had scarred and traumatized not only all those around it, but the fenghuang as well. It had taken a long moment to recover after that, shakily pushing herself to her talons and breathing in deeply, ignoring the strange numb feeling that settled low in her chest, like a block of static right in the middle of her body. She felt sick, and not only because of what she had just witnessed.

Quickly, the persona had gone searching for her user, launching herself up and into the air to go looking for Rin, her heart beating oddly fast in her chest. At first she thought she would find the other at the scene of the incident, but when she found nothing but blood splattered ground, she just cursed and continued searching. She was beginning to feel as though she were on a fool's errand when suddenly the static in her mind cleared, the numbness that had been gripping her melting away into nothingness. She had looked around in confusion, only for Rin's voice to enter her head. It was soft and desperate, as if she was on the edge of completely falling apart. If Nem had teeth, she probably would've been grinding them together in worry. Instead she just responded montonely, hee gaze focused down on her claws, Of course, Lady Rin. With that, she took off into the air, soaring up and searching for Playerone. She called out firmly as she swooped down low, landing near the female's usual residence and ignoring the way her head was still spinning – the vision of mother and child deceased still replaying over and over again, unsure if it was because of her or Rin, "Player... Lady Playerone. Lady Rin would like to see you, I'd you're able to accompany me."
