[ATBASH CIPHER.]

ATBASH CIPHER

everything's just come together at last !

Atbash had ran away from things a long time ago. She had been - and still was, admittedly - a coward. Perhaps she had a reason to be, with the things that had happened to her, it was a bit understandable. She had to flee from a home that was collapsing in on itself, had to flee from Snowbound, and she wanted to flee from Tanglewood after the attack on her. Caesar knew she was here and that scared her, but she had duties to attend to. Maybe if she was just a regular member of Tanglewood, the savannah would be more willing to relax, but just like Vigenere, Atbash was a hard-worker. Even though she was still recovering from her own injury, she was too antsy to want to stay in her home.

The hissing sound of a gator nearby made Atbash turn her head sharply, her good eye widening for a moment as the thought of the gator snapping at her briefly flashed in her mind, until she saw a cub running up a tree. Oh gods, Atbash thought to herself, heart lurching as she thought the gator might actually snatch up the child - but fortunately, he made it up the tree. Sucking in a breath, Atbash came charging forward, preparing a small elemental attack as she charged. She hissed at the alligator, but said no words, trying to use her air elementals to shoo the creature back.. Her throat still hurt despite her not speaking, but she tried to ignore it as much as she could right now. Fortunately, the alligator gave her a distraction.

"Hey. You okay?" The Shaderunner tried to call out to the cub telepathically, trying to reach out to his mind in order to communicate. She glanced back at the cub in the tree before her main focus was getting the reptile away from the both of them.
