The dark-haired woman had been quietly inspecting the blue stains from over Lia's shoulder when Lt. Cohington came up to inspect the strange markings, himself. You'd have expected a forty-something year old man who'd come from the military to have even a shred of chivalry or honor or a presence of mind to remember that he wasn't insulting a human, but something-- somebody that was anything but. Honestly speaking, Brythit wasn't even remotely surprised at the turn out of events... not that it eased the rapid influx of adrenaline and fear that she was getting from just seeing the demon's form. She'd been warned and had attempted many, many times to train her mind in preparation for a moment like this, should the time come that they would need Bomoriel to reveal his demonic form. If it weren't for Lia's cry of urgency, perhaps nothing would've kept her in reality or from screaming in terror. Her reflexes, pumped with adrenaline, kicked in, combining with her first impulse. Bomoriel was pissed off at Cohington, after all.
In a fluid and quick motion, she spun and kicked the Lieutenant across the face; she'd make up for it later, but right now, what had to be done was to appease the seemingly omnipotent entity. Not bothering to check and see it her foot had hit its mark, she righted and forced herself to look into the towering lupine demon's eyes-- or wherever the heck they were supposed to be. "Bomoriel Hibaam!" rang Brythit's voice, loud and clear in an attempt to catch his attention, as she'd somehow managed to take all of the fright and tension she felt and momentarily throw them away. Her tone was respectful, but firm, as she continued: "Your race surpasses us in terms of age and those like you surpass us in power and erudition. But though you say that he knows nothing other than to kill, I believe differently, otherwise he would not be here in the first place. You have the upper hand over him-- or over any of us, for that matter-- not just in strength and ability, but in knowledge. Putting him in his place or hurting him will do more harm than necessary and none among us present can stop you; you and I both know this." It was a form of pleading, in Bryth's book. With demons or any ancient entity, though, really, you had to address them in such a way that you weren't threatening them or posing as prey. You had to treat them as equals-- with respect.
