Bernkastel's smirk at having gotten two of them by surprise was short-lived, immediately soured by Sound's persistent hollering at her. Still facing Grey and giggling at the anticipation of what he'd follow up with, she could hear Sound from a fairly close range meaning he had been knocked closer to the fight. Bern's face flattened out into a blank, yet stern expression.
"Noisy gadfly," she spat in a low voice. Barely turning her face, a wayward blade only grazed her cheek and drew a thin line of blood yet she did not flinch. "You're annoying. Come here--"
Reaching into the portal, a shadowy clawed limb emerged from her sleeve and gripped Sound by the back of his shirt, Bernkastel wrinkling her nose in disgust at the sight of the vomit. Yanking her arm back, she pulled him out of the portal with a malicious side-eye.
"Why would I waste time with the runaway trying to lecture me? Fight you like a man, you say? Look at yourself. Nearly keeled over from one hit-- I might turn you into a Coin if I go any further than that," Bernkastel sneered before reeling her arm back. "That's nothing in our book. So not only are you spineless, you're boring too-- that pisses me off! I won't have any fun with an opponent who's not prepared to fight for what they want!"
Raising her free hand, Bernkastel struck Sound across the face with a backhand in clear agitation before using the other arm to throw him towards Grey. She floated in midair breathless with her arms almost shaking with tension. The force she dealt with her hand was little more than an ordinary slap, yet it felt good to deal out. It was nowhere near enough to get the anger out of her system though; magic couldn't give her the cathartic release she wanted.
All these fools see is a dainty girl and nothing more! How I detest it! I'd like to teach them a real lesson! Bern seethed, wiping blood off her face as she tried to resist temptations of savagery. I have to hold it back... there's still the leader we have to get to. Silently she cursed the position she was in, having to restrain herself against a rapidly escalating situation.
