Aun's eyes leap from Guthrum's lips to his exposed blade, as its tip points towards her. The pathetic situation was kind of amusing at first. The thought of her threatened, by a stinky stranger no less, in her own home, her own lair. The idea he might be joking crossed her mind, and it took a little time to understand that he was indeed serious.
The slim teenager frowned at Guthrum, revealing her disgust. This man had no manners, breaking into her sanctum so rudely and now wanting to murder her without any valid cause. Whatever escaped his mouth passed through Aun's ears quickly and was forgotten even quicker. Still, hurt by previous traumatic events she had lived through, the youth would always make efforts to avoid any repeating of those scenarios. Yet, the weird conversation left the girl unstable, perhaps a little hurt. She just wanted to be alone, to recover from her past, but it seemed like peace wasn't an option. Even here, she found herself disturbed and her life at risk once more.
She turned away from the stranger and made her way to the crystal clear water she had been toying with near by. As she walked her expression turned more distant. She felt upset and her negative mood found its reflection in the surrounding world. In time Aun bit her bottom lip and cracked her neck, the plants around her transforming into darker versions of themselves. Previously colorful flowers and bushes grow large, poisonous thorns. Trees twitch, expanding branches now gnarled and deformed in every direction.
She just stands there, a lone, slender figure watching her reflection. Aun's long, silky pigtails half fall forward, partly blocking her face from Guthrum, hair covering the sadness in her once bright eyes. Only her shaking lips are exposed for him to see.
"I want you to leave...right now! You are…not welcome…here…" She breathed out finally without looking at the intruder. Anxiety spread over the small world of Aun. What was about to come would be a response to Guthrum's next actions. He has received his last warning and a chance to depart peacefully.
