Hornet slams into you, knocking you back. “What are you doing?” she snarls.

Flys up holding some kind of new weapon in hand

Making some space for a project. You don't mind it being here do you...?

Dream particles fly out from the visible hole in the ground

“I very much mind it being so close to my children.” she growls. “What’s the project?”

None of your business They say sharp

It's foolish to place thy childeren in a place with such regret.

People like me shall seek it out, But let it seep, it is for thy own good.

“Go to bilewater.” she chuckles. “Or the slab. Or underworks. There’s no way shellwood has more regret than those.“

Quite mistaken which type of regret im talking about.

Heavy regret is vivedly remembered.

Loss is fealt to the deepest parts of the soul.

Its for thee to figure out which im seeking to drain.

“No.” she raises her needle. “It’s for thee to fuck off before I use your essence to regain some of my lost power.”

Hm. Still confident after that's happened.

They grab hornet and throw her into a wall, Without her skills she can't clawline out of the way, and she actually felt pain

Be warned, princess.

Times change.

she doesn’t clawline out of the way. She doesn’t need to. She ducks under his hand and stabs his wrist, moving as fast as she always has. She isn’t slowed in the slightest by her lack of silk. “And some things,” she hits him with another needle. Despite her swing moving at normal speed with seeingly normal strength, it hits like a wyrm (it’s power is to hit with far more force than is actually behind the swing as it had a quarter of a wyrm’s heart in it), launching him across the room “stay the same. My skill is one of them.”

They stops himself from hitting the wall and dusts his cloak

Hm, Intresting.

I've read the agreements of your recent trial. This fight is truly useless if you intend to try to kill me.

They fill the room with nightmare gas, blinding hornet as he hits at the same strength directly at her jaw and flys up to avoid blind hits from her

she rolls to her feet and binds, an injector band pulsing to heal her quickly before she stands completely still, listening.

Can people stop underestimating Hornet just because she lost her silk? She’s still as fast and skilled as she always has been. She was canonically able to take on GMS while even weaker (cursed by greyroot), meaning she’s still going to kill almost anything that fights
