Briar frowned down at the redhead. She seemed to already have a vendetta of some sort against the nymph, though Briar couldn't guess why. When she tried to suck in a breath, it came out as more of a wheeze than anything. So, the girl's grasp must have been rather tight. Kathleen smirked up at her as if she had the advantage. Which, to be fair, from this standpoint it truthfully seemed that way.
The nymph made a move to take her hand off of herself, still testing how much air she could get through the woman's grip. She could hear in the distance as Mahlikai gave the girl a low warning to knock it off. Thrones screeched as some were pushed backwards as if they were going to do something to intervene. However, the most surprising action of all in the few seconds that all of this began to happen was that of Walter's.
