Ma'Piri steadfastly ignored the leers of the men at the suggestion of stripping, instead unsheathing her axes, giving each one a spin to show off her skill in a not-so-subtle manner, hoping they would get the hint that they would sooner get a blade between their man parts before she even took her boots off. As they exchanged words, she remained quiet, ears perked to the small noises made by her foes. Each step they made was magnified by the adrenaline in her system, her heart thudding so hard against her ribs she thought it might begin a drum beat on the inside of her breastplate.
The sheer cliffs gave way to a wide opening in the earth that housed the camp itself, and just the look of it made her fur bristle, her teeth reflexively bared as she breathed in deeply through her nose. She smelled their rotten odor, a low growl rolling over her tongue. The lack of attack made her all the more wary of the trip; perhaps this was even more dangerous than she had assumed. ''Why do you wait...?'' she said to no one, edging closer to the back of the Argonian after he had dismounted. When the unholy din rocked the very ground they stood on, she cringed, her entire body tensing from the pain of it's pitch. It was times like this when she cursed her impeccable hearing. After it had stopped, she squeezed her axes tighter, her jaw clenched so tightly she could have cracked stone in her mouth. The sudden appearance of three more fortune-seekers made her no happier, and she acknowledged their appearance with a scowl and turn of the head, instead busying herself with getting bearings. She did not even bother with the gate, since her small size wouldn't have done much either way.
It was at this time that she turned and looked to S'Dakiir and Isnar, both bickering over his bonds. She strode over, her steps shockingly silent. ''Will you two silence yourselves?!'' she hissed angrily, grabbing the vampire by the shoulder roughly to pull him closer to her. Without hesitation, she yanked his arms out so that his wrists were before her, and with her other hand, she held them steady, her grip a bit tighter than it had to be. She sliced the bindings off with her axe blade before glaring at them both. ''Now if you two will kindly stop menstruating and get to the matter at hand, I would greatly appreciate it.'' The cat turned smartly on her heel and walked back to Zij'Qua El and the rest, muttering under her breath. ''Arguing like a couple of young girls over the hand of the village blacksmith...''
''Zij'Qua El, this feels even more wrong than I feared,'' she pleaded quietly to the Argonian, her tone now frightened and soft. ''I am beginning to see why the bounty is so high; no one is coming out of there in less than three pieces. They will cleave us like cattle for the spit!'' For a rare moment, she was concerned for the life of a man, and it showed in her face more evidently than the very gate before them.
