[ Dagger's core has a distinction unlike any other- but there really isn't a way to describe the sensation. A verbal analysis couldn't possibly do it justice. It's more than sight or sound or smell. It's a drop in pressure and shift in the air. Warriorhead wants to push his fingers into the cracks there, just to see what will happen.
[ His core contracts, and then expands, and small wisps of. . . something white, and clear, and similar to some kind of liquid slips out of the cracks, twisting around the digits. Dagger knows he has to give a warning for it soon, because once those fingers harden it would cost one of them something vital.
That, and it's extremely cold. Light frost starts covering the exposed metal of Dagger's bunk, the further up Warriorhead's fingers the wisps get. ]
[ It looks like he's leaking. Which is an inelegant way to describe it when the word itself implies the kind of spill Warriorhead would be all too eager to wash his hands of.
This is something else.Dagger's body tightens, expands- as though he's unable to control it. Maybe he isn't. There's something to be said for watching a being unravel, and yield. To watch him become the air. They'll be at their limit soon.
The coil around his chest begins to lengthen and compress- a biological response to the presence of danger. The bone pieces itself together like a replacement suit of armor, covering his vital organs in the same breath that it reinforces the sheath around his hands. If he pushes much further, there won't be much point in the reaction. His fingers trace the cracks- a canyon of his own to explore at his leisure. ]
