Vhanya barked out a laugh, her eyes flicking between the Harpies.
”Are you threatening me on my own ship? And don’t strain your dear heart, Ember, I wouldn’t shoot to kill, I don’t want too much blood on this nice clean deck.”
Ember drew near to Vhanya, a hand outreached towards her flintlock, her red eyes fixed on the pirate, what she didn’t realize was her proximity; within poison tail‘s reach. So in a flash, Vhanya had the barbed end poised to strike a deadly blow on the Harpy. She hadn’t lowered her gun -still trained on the stranger - a hair‘s-breadth either.

"That wasn't a threat. I'm warning you."
Heartbeat pounded in her ears, Ember couldn't tear her eyes away from the otherworldly stinger. Her eyes pulsed with light as her adrenaline rose, and she curled her fist again, hoping the pirate wouldn't notice the occasional licks of smoke sliding between her fingers.
"You-" she jabbed a finger at the other Harpy without looking. "-State your business, your name. Why are you here, and for the love of all that is holy, why aren't you wearing a cape?"
Her gaze flicked back to Vhanya, locking eyes with the scorpion, hoping that by some miracle, she'd keep her loud mouth shut long enough to resolve the sudden issue before the tension snapped.

“Cool it,” Lichen repeated, in a softer tone.
Lichens eyes flicked over to the other Harpy. She thinks I need to be defended! A flare of irritation flashed through her, making her wings twitch.
Woah. Scorpion. Lichen hadn’t seen one of those in awhile. She shifted her weight to her other foot calmly, flexing her claw tipped fingers.
“If trigger-happy over here is planning to blow my brains out, I don’t think my name is of any importance to you.” Lichen said in a level tone. “I already stated my business, and my cape? I don’t believe in living in fear like a skulking coward.” She narrowed her eyes, crossing her arms.
(We got a bold one up in here friends)
Ember's head snapped around, fixing the Harpy with a burning stare.
"Are you calling me a coward?"
Her voice was dangerously calm, slow, daring the woman to reply. The Pheonix could still see the looming barbed tail out the corner of her eye, and the ever ready flintlock leveled on the Harpy.

(I think I gathered up all your last posts for easy read, @RDchicken99, @-Shade- , @-Kiwi-. )“I never said that,” Lichen said. “I simply stated my preference. I don’t care that you folks run around hiding in cloaks.”
