[Akua is the only one here smiling, even as sinister or calculated a thing as it might be.
The elf knows how to move at least, he prevents the more easy fall or sprawl most would have stumbled into... but she can not view him as a physical threat. Not right now, anyway. Perhaps he had magic at his call, she had learned not to trust that wasn't an option... but her lips curl back in that toothy snarl whether he has it or not, whether she acknowledged that the new word nammu felt less of an insult than his previous one or not. He wants to swear an oath to her?]
Insult me like that again, and you'll be making that failed attempt with a bloody stump where your tongue used to be.
[She cannot help but snap a vow right back... but there is no need for any words between them. He turns to leave, to just walk away through the vague circle that had assembled around them... and Hayame does the same with a flick of her long, lustrous mane and tail, giving Akua only a brief, terse nod of acknowledgement before she, too, is gone.]
