Regna Ferox? All she knew about Regna Ferox was that it was a cold place and that Chrom and his men once went there to gain the favor of the khan there. Then, the weakened man said that there was someone dead. The daughter of the East Khan? Really? … [i]Helena.[/i] she didn’t know until now. When had she died? How did she [i]not[/i] know? Ambra looked away, biting the inside of her mouth as she fought against the tears that threatened to spill over her cheeks. No, she wouldn’t cry. Zaino would probably sneer at her and then she would cry more. [i]Why are so many people dying, Scipio?[/i] she asked internally, but there was no answer. There would never be another answer from the tall, strong archer man that reminded her of the ferocity of a swooping eagle.

Zaino also said something about killing his brother. Ambra allowed her eyes to flit back up to him and light up with alarm. Why… oh. His brother. He was a bad person, from what she understood. He had been the one to send someone to harm Zaino. Which they clearly did… [i]He has so much anger in him.[/i] Perhaps… just perhaps… she had anger in her as well? Besides the sorrow clawing at her heart, the worry chewing at her mind, there was something smaller, yet with much more potential to cause harm. It was dark, something she could keep inside. What it was, she didn’t know. But she had her suspicions, now that she looked at Zaino. [i]Rage is borne from grief.[/i]

Ambra remained quiet before Zaino called the rest of the Shepherds dogs. At that, her frustration flared. [b]”You call men who risk their lives dogs?”[/b] she questioned briskly. [b]”How about that musician? Was he a dog, too? Am I a dog? Did you think Helena as one?”[/b] okay, maybe she was going overboard. But Ambra did not like these types of assumptions. [b]”I don’t know about you, but if you think those men and women are dogs, who raise their swords for their lives and cause, then you consider yourself one as well. Don’t you [i]dare[/i] say they’re dogs, because I see them as people who are frightened for their lives.”[/b]

It was then that she realized that her temper had reached its boiling point. She blushed and looked away, sinking her teeth into the inside of her mouth again. [b]”Sorry.”[/b] she let out in an exasperated sigh. She raised the fruit toward him once more. [b]”If you’re leaving, at least take this. It’ll provide somewhat of a full belly until you can hunt for more.”[/b]
