Alina couldn't help but chuckle aloud at his response to her accusations, logic seemingly lost on his ludicrous hatred for their kind. At this point, was it even worthwhile continuing their argument? He was shouting her down with emotional whereas she was dictating facts and morals. Regardless of which person's voice was stronger, the emotional one would never back down. Concluding that there was indeed no point in even talking to him at that point, she turned away from him and continued on her way into the depths of the ruins - only to stop once again, noting several people gathered near an intersection. Some of them kept glancing her way, their faces hidden behind tattered bandanna's or scarves, whilst others bore large masks that made inspecting their expression impossible. Glancing away from the group, she continued to visually explore her surroundings; taking in as much as she could, as she'd need as much information as possible to survive this harsh environment. However, once she'd reminded herself that survival was core to her goal, the girl that had attacked Elijah earlier sprung to mind. Turning once again, she wished to address her to figure out where any good spots for hiding were - only to be met with her blood-lust in full, as the girl had shot forwards from behind Elijah - her tail whirring loudly as she flew through the air to her new target; Alina. "If you are done talking, I can kill you right?!" she cackled, her mouth agape with a terrifying grin of delight and entertainment as she slung her tail forth once again, hoping to swipe Alina's head clear from her shoulders. A resounded clanging noise emanated from between them as her tail met the broad side of the blade Alina could materialise at will. The usual low hum of its inner power suddenly spiked in volume and speed, throbbing against the very air itself as it drew in energy for a coming conflict. "If you can't beat him, what makes you think you can defeat me?" Alina cursed quietly, knocking the tail aside and readying herself to strike.
