"BITCHES GET STUFF DONE." -tina fey

There was a reason that the painted pegasus spent so much time patrolling the Edge. She felt better now knowing there were more sets of eyes watching from the shadows, with the addition of Raeden (and Tin alongside her), but that didn’t give her much cause to relax.  If anything it just promised better coverage of the Edge’s borders – with Raeden watching from the trees while she looked down from above.  A thicker safety net. Never a bad thing. 
 
It was exactly how she had spotted the little pest who had tried to sneak in the Edge’s borders. The very thought sent a whisper of fire though her insides, and her nostrils flared as she flew a tighter circle over the open space near the cliff’s edge.  Today she was not hunting for intruder.  Today she needed to find Tembovu or Elsa, to let them know what it was that she had interrupted. 
 
All Iona could offer was a thorough description, but hopefully that would be enough to put the herd on alert.  It was obvious that the little mare had be after something of Dacianna’s, judging by the way she was stalking the other mare, but Iona had intercepted before any damage could be done. Iona wished she had been surprised, but the audacity of others failed to surprise her anymore. She’d just seen too much.
 
She let out a little huff as she landed, quickly folding her wings and making for the trees.  Iona still felt somewhat aggravated, and continuously adjusted her wings as she walked. Green eyes scanned for a familiar face as she let out another huff of irritation, not at the lack of finding what she was looking for, but at the fact that someone had nearly breached the borders of the Edge on her watch and it so thoroughly crawled under her skin.  Again, she was amazed at how quickly this place – Aly’s place – had become hers as well.  Rather than going gallivanting through the trees on a quest to flush out the herd leaders, though she thought she had spotted Tembovu on her first circuit of the trees, she simply called out and elected to remain in the open. Now didn’t seem like the time to be confined beneath the canopies when she felt like she was ready to crawl out of her own skin.
