Short and to the point. Nonetheless, the lack of information if anything made the attack sound [i]worse[/i]. Even Moira, as familiar as she was with the brutality of life, couldn't help but cringe a little at the thought. Bears were massive, powerful creatures. It could probably take a limb away in a million ways, each as gruesome as the last.

Syed meanwhile brought his hands to his mouth briefly, before clutching at his own arm in empathy. It must have been absolutely horrifying - and he doubted Xan's injuries would be purely physical after something like that. Especially with it as recent as it was. He knew [i]that[/i] from personal experiance.

Nonetheless Xan dealt with the question admirably. Who could blame her for turning it round on them?

Moira froze. There was a moment of silence, her knuckles going white as she clenched her glass. Syed watched her warily, although he had similarly gone pale. Well, she definately deserved this. And then suddenly, without any warning at all, the glass shattered beneath her grip.

She wanted to be angry. She wanted so badly to be angry. Her fists clenched, her right now dripping blood from the glass shards, she gritted her teeth and her pupils constricted. She wanted to throw the table. She wanted to hit someone.

And if it were someone she didn't know that well, she probably would have told them to fuck off, and lashed out if they persisted.

But this wasn't someone random. This was someone she knew, someone she trusted. A blood sister. Someone she had fought with. She wasn't there when Moira warned the others not to ask about it, and Marcus was keeping out of it. Moira had asked her a personal question, and got one in return.

Moira averted her eyes, her entire frame trembling with repressed rage at her situation. "I..." she hesitated, averting her eyes to Syed. The mage looked up to her from his seat, apprehensive as to her answer. The Pride were their closest friends. Like family, even. They could trust them with anything, right? Even something like this?

No.

"...I made a mistake..." she finished through gritted teeth, her voice low. "It... it wasn't just Sy's life I ruined that night."

Without another word she turned around and strode towards the exit, not waiting for her partner. As a result he stumbled over his chair as he was magically pulled after her, and left unable to do anything but grimace apologetically as he was dragged out of the room.
