Before the two could begin to converse in earnest, or the new girl could heed the advice disguised as a threat, two more nuisances joined the fray and Shatterscape became the minority rather quickly. Even worse, they were familiar faces who knew some of her tricks along with that of her team-mates. This meant she had to weigh the loss of this Khir... that is, if she had wanted to attack in the first place. However, she merely closed her eyes and let out a sigh, then focused her gaze upon the two.

[color=gold][b]"Have we not handed you enough concessions already?"[/b][/color] She opened her gauntlets wide, almost as though she wanted to encompass the city. [color=gold][b]"This is our sacred ground and the only reason you are permitted to touch its soil is because of our mercy. And yet despite such showing of goodwill, why do you bring another one of your kin amongst us? You know very well the price."[/b][/color] She flashed a grin that did not reach her eyes, instead serving as a way to reveal her teeth.

[color=gold][b]"Indeed, the whole of your world is within your hands while this is the only sanctuary we claim as ours. And as it is, we are never remiss in its cleansing, its purification, its rituals and its groundskeeping. So why do you keep violating its hallowed nature? You would find a much warmer welcome elsewhere, in a place where your world shines brighter than ours."[/b][/color] A breath. Shatterscape moved her fingers against each other, creating an unsettling noise of metal grinding on metal. A step forward followed, bringing her further into the light, not to mention closer to engagement range.

[color=gold][b]"But maybe I only repeat myself without reason. You have never heeded my mercy in the past... Will this new blood be enough for you to reconsider the offer?"[/b][/color]
