Ever since the Hunters' Strike, Nyeusi had looked much less like the crazed prophet she'd been for the two years prior. Her black fur was groomed, her eyes weren't always wide open, and she'd stopped wearing her bone adornments.
Anyone who saw her now might be forgiven for thinking nothing had changed in the past moons. The lioness wore no bones, but her fur was matted and tangled and covered in blood. Especially her face and neck. Some of it, upon closer examination, was her own. But not all of it, not even most of it.
"Vesper!" she hissed, looking around for the white lion. Eyes wide and her whisper just a little too loud, Nyeusi sounded like the mad prophet once again.

Good news, she'd found him. Bad news, he wasn't alone. Worse news, she couldn't be certain of the loyalties of everyone in the patrol group, which meant she had to get Vesper alone. But she didn't have time to wait for him to finish.
"Vesper!" she hissed again, a bit louder this time. As she waited for him to paky attention, to lose the group, to come over to where she stood, Nyeusi was fidgeting, shredding the greenery beneath her claws.
She'd forgotten about the blood that adorned her, forgotten that she was bleeding, forgotten everything except for the body lying somewhere behind her and her desperate need to consult with Vesper about it.

Vesper spotted Nyeusi very suddenly, but the state of her made him do a double-take. Something was very obviously wrong, but he wasn't close enough to make it out. Still, Nyeusi had been much better lately but the times when she had made less sense were still close enough in the past that he didn't immediately jump to a panic.
He looked back to his companions, offering a shrug when one turned to see where he had gone, giving a nod for them to continue without him. As they went on, he turned back to his dark, panicked friend and walked calmly over.
"Nyeusi, what's going on?"
The scent of blood hit him very suddenly, making him wonder how he had missed it- how any of them had missed it. It was his first clue that something was very, very wrong.
