Text

Ice Queen acts the part too easily. She doesn't find it harder than a roll of her shoulders, a new form to master before she's slicing through wood figures with her blade, then real, living ones she wishes didn't bleed so much because it's someone's life and she doesn't want to think about what she's doing.

It's a cover, not even a mission, becoming taken Baganechi, learning violence because they are the raiding war bands of the desert where her team will be working from here on out.

She's trained before though, killed before, and she doesn't flinch from blood.
