[ plucky. he likes it. it's all too familiar and nyx rolls his shoulders as he adjusts his grip on his knives. she stands close to him in the dark, enough space to be out of the way, but nearby enough that he can feel her presence close enough for back. she's proven to be invaluable with her magic, and it's made him ache for seconds at a time about crowe, watching the ice sung into existence to thin out the number of monsters they faced.

there's a low hissing noise from the side that draws nyx forward at once with his knife. there are only a few monsters left, crawling around, prowling at the edges. he waits for one to get close enough before moving forward with his knife, whipping the blade at the first on-coming creature, letting the honed blade slide through the tough hide on its flank as it lashes outwards. the second knife rings out as the lizard-monster snaps forward at the blade with its jaws.
in and instant he severs its jaw with a slick, wet swipe, bring is curved knife upwards to deal a blow to its throat swiftly. ]
