The door flickers briefly into a tent flap, that is pulled back to reveal a battalion encampment before being blocked by the woman stepping through. She is dressed in a rider's leather breeches and what might be a loose fitting tunic on a man, but is pulled taut against her adequate bosom. Her skin is pale, and her shoulder-length hair is stark

YT might be surprised at the young woman's stabbing range.

"No, nobody is going to hurt me," she repeats matter-of-factly. That was never in question. What was in question was which ones of these people would try.

Kitai hesitates, and then does... something that makes the knives go away. They're clearly hidden somewhere on her person, but there's no telling where.

It's not as though she required them, anyway.

"Very well. Explain."

Kitai has the curious ability, in times of stress or perceived threat, to ignore anything that doesn't make sense in favor of those things that can actually be of help to her. The rest can be dealt with in a timely fashion later on.

In other words, what Kitai heard out of all of that was Okay ... nobody really knows why ... I don't know how it actually works.

"Am I a prisoner here?" she asks carefully.

[wantedahorse]

She isn't entirely certain this isn't a trick to divert her attention, but she does flick her eyes quickly to the place where she entered.

"It is there. Where does it lead?"

[wantedahorse]

Kitai narrows her eyes.

"I entered through a tent, not a door."

[wantedahorse]

She edges warily toward the door, keeping her back to the wall. When she reaches for the knob, the door shimmers back into a tent flap. Kitai snatches her hand back, and the flap shimmers back.

"What sorcery is this?" she asks angrily.

[wantedahorse]

Kitai scowls at the other woman, then reaches for the door/flap again. She grabs it and pulls it back, revealing the camp just as it was.

"Apparently it does," she says over her shoulder. "Thank you."

Then she slips back through.
