She matches her step. "Warning me? That's cute." Another step. "Warning me of what?"

Sudden concussive blast seems to be what!

Shade should be able to weather it, though.

How dare she.

Shade knocks her down in retaliation, and uses her speed to get over there and place a foot on the girl's chest before she can get back up.

She bites back a scream.

She pushes down a little, just enough to make it hard to breathe.

That very predictably gets her some gasping and struggling!

"Congratulations on a good hunt," the Yew Queen says from behind her.

"Thanks," Shade says, looking at the girl under her foot.

"Do you have a concept what you'll do, now that you have your prey under your power?"

"I'm not quite sure."

"I can offer quite a few suggestions, if you'd like."

"Such as?"

"Well, there's fun we can have with physical means - I am quite the fan of knives - and fun with magical - which requires a bit of finesse, but, well, there's always more prey about. Depends on which path you'd like to take."

"Let's start with physical."

Then the Yew Queen can show her all the many, bloody ways of physically terrorizing someone!

And then teach her healing, so they can start all over again.

Surprisingly enjoyable.

Shade gets very into it, by the end.

Oh, good.

"This is fun."

"It quite is. One of the great joys of a hunt."

"I see now why you do this."

"Wonderful."

"What should we do with... this?" She pokes the girl with a foot.

"Kill her or set her free, possibly after healing her. Some people like taking trophies from their prey, too, but that's your choice."

Shade looks over the girl consideringly. "I don't think I need a trophy. Nor, I think, do I wish to let her go free."

"Very well, then."
