walking on eggshells

Then what is your name? His tone remained unbothered despite the racing of his heart in his throat as she threatened him. He did not doubt for a second she would let him leave here with her or those eggs. Your babies? Where did you find these eggs? Something terrible had transpired to warden Eluvia, that much was clear.

He blinked and when he opened his eyes she was in a finished lunge, claws dripping with blood. His brow furrowed as he tried to make sense of what he was seeing. That was until a twinge of pain prompted him to reach up to his cheek as the skin parted in a deep gash so clean it looked like the look of a skilled surgeon. Soon after his hands would start to shake and his knees buckled. What have you done? He stumbled, his hand soon becoming painted in his lifeforce. His eyes lifted to her, full of fear and anger. Hellreaver was pointed between them, level with her neck. Stay back or I will kill you. I don't want your eggs. I just want to know what happened. I've come to bring you back where you belong. A ruse really, he had no intention at this point of bringing her back to Soldier's Peak knowing what he knew now. Not unless it was for a reckoning.
