[ P ] Hey, listen!

Declan is not attacking.
Declan HP: 18

Declan honestly didn't know what he'd done to get her so angry, it was like a switch had flipped. "This isn't the end of us, Declan. I'll be seeing much more of you whether you like it or not," she threatened and he scoffed as he stared down at her in disbelief. "No, you won't." he told her. He knew how to make himself scarce and he was not afraid of some self-proclaimed vendetta from an Army soldier. She snapped at his face again, snagging his lip and tearing it with ease. He reared back and finally leapt off her. He was in pain but he did not retaliate.

Instead he turned away from her and snatched up his shit. Without a second glance backward, he darted off into the forest as fast as he could, knowing that it might take her a second or two to get to her feet. That was all he needed to get away and he just prayed she wouldn't give chase. This was not how he imaged this meeting would go, but he guessed he shouldn't be all that surprised. They were from different walks of life and that was just too much to overcome for her, apparently.

He ran.

The fury that exploded within Lenora was unlike anything she'd ever experienced before. Even when her own brother had disrespected her and their lineage, that was nothing compared to the rage she felt now. He jumped off of her, leaving her in the dust with her stained reputation.

She had let a criminal get away.

"No!" she snarled as she leapt to her paws within seconds, but he was too quick. Obviously he was well versed in the art of being a little bitch, and he was gone before she'd even gotten back to her paws. Her head swooned, still not recovered from the bout of unconsciousness, and she accepted that she needed to go get checked into the medbay to make sure whatever she had experienced was not something to be concerned about. Stupid boy, she thought acidly as she turned, lips curling over her teeth. She'd find him again, she'd make sure of it. One way or another, Declan will be behind bars by her paw.

But until then, she'd need to figure out what she was going to do. Thankfully, no one knew she'd encountered a scumlord like him on the border, so at least the act of letting a criminal go wouldn't actually be on her record... but her knowing was enough for it to eat at her mind.

With a growl, she turned and walked back towards the army barracks in search of a nurse.
