[color=gray]With the Roc now dead, the roses' thorny vines made sure to take their time draining every last drop of blood from it's corpse. With the threat now gone, the vines embracing Viola also loosened their grasp, making the small holes in her skin apparent for a brief moment, before the vines adjusted themselves, carefully covering them and delicately applying some pressure by using parts of it's vines that have no thorns. Completely unfazed by the puncturing wounds left behind by the rose's thorns, Viola watched with a satisfied expression as the rose fed itself with the Roc's blood.

[color=7809A4]"We are fine. Thank you, brother."[/color] Viola said, turning to Cyrus with a smile, before she continued watching the rose feed itself.

Even though the Blood Rose was considered a dangerous predatory plant from Daka Island, the bond it had with Viola was indeed a curious one. The fact that it seemed to care enough about Viola's well being to cover her wounds and be sure she was comfortable meant that it considered her more than just a host, similar to how a parasitic life form would. In return, Viola seemed to care about the plant with great care and attention.

[color=7809A4]"She was always very kind... Always helping others... Considering their pain to be her own..."[/color] Viola said with a discreet smile, looking at Phia as Cypress mentioned her being safe.

At first, just like her brother, Viola simply ignored the wolf warrior's presence, finding his presence or even his reason to be there of no relevance to her. The moment he looked towards her and Cyrus with suspicion though, ordering to stay where they were with a thump of his battleaxe, he finally earned Viola's attention...

The Blood Rose's thorny vines shifted uncomfortably around Viola, reflecting her mood as they finished feeding on the Roc's carcass, leaving it completely dry. Similarly, Viola turned her gaze towards the wolf warrior. Despite her silence, her expression and gaze made it quite clear that she considered him nothing more than a bother and only barely worthy of her even acknowledging his presence, not caring about his 'warning' at all.

Unfortunately, the very moment he put his axe on his shoulder before clearly threatening them with a swing of his axe, he ceased being 'just' a bother in Viola's eyes. For now, he was still just an obstacle in her eyes, but Cyrus knew that if she considered him a threat, she would definitely act.

[color=7809A4]"Unprovoked hostility... It threatens us, brother."[/color] Viola said with a disinterested, but still clearly annoyed tone before she looked at Cyrus, almost as if waiting for his decision regarding what to do.[/color]
