Fear is not what I'm feeling right now.

[ Her response is an irritated snap, and maybe a tiny little bit of a cover-up. She's been thrown into a whole new world full of strange creatures, a human is talking to her, a human among what looks like many, and he's not even answering her questions properly. Surely he does want something in return for being helpful, but he's pretending to care for her, which is infuriating.

Blake rests a gloved hand on the handle of one of her swords, sheathed at her hip. He hasn't attempted to harm her yet, and no matter the anger Blake feels and the oppression they face, she still won't cut down humans who don't deserve it.

But--

Something is coming. A shambling group of bird-like creatures are making a bee-line for them. Blake scowls.

What are those.

[ Blake frowns. Compared to Grimm, these bird creatures don't look like much of a threat -- but she knows better than to judge threat based on size alone. The human obviously thinks they're dangerous, and so, Blake will indulge his caution. It's better to be cautious than arrogant, after all.

She draws her swords. Unlike the Blake that Inigo knows, this Blake has two red, jagged blades linked by a length of chain, one big enough to qualify as a broadsword, the other smaller and more agile.

Fine. We'll deal with these, and then I'll cut my way out of this reality if I have to.

[ She has no idea of the combat capabilities of this human. He has a sword, and he doesn't look completely useless with it, but that says little. For now, she'll just assume he's competent. She sets one foot back, heel scraping against the cobblestones, and launches forward, barreling toward the bird creatures. ]

[ It's been a long time since Blake has fought at the side of anybody she doesn't know well, and she finds herself irked by it. She doesn't know how to predict Inigo, doesn't know what kind of fighter he is, or what his strategies are, and fighting in close quarters with him could prove dangerous. One wrong swing of her sword, or his, and they could easily injure each other.

To prevent that, she puts herself on the other side the skeksis-- running toward them, she gets within striking distance, and then their claws cut through shadow as she fades out, and reappears behind the group. A cross-chop across the back of the one closest to her has it squawking, half of the skeksis whirling about to face her.

Lips set in a grim line, she engages in battle. The skeksis aren't as big or ferocious as Grimm, but she's not going to underestimate them.
