It's the first time Lexa is seeing it, too. She'd heard rumors in Skyhold, enough of them to make it seem less likely to be some wild tale born purely out of the fact that Ruby is a rifter. But now she has all the confirmation she needs, and it turns out watching her turn into a wolf is very different from hearing that she can. She'll have questions later, and would like to observe right now if she could, but there is a rift to close and since the glowing mark on her hand is concealed beneath extra layers of black cloth wrapping and fingerless glove and is intended to stay that way, that means it's time to fight some demons.

Lexa draws the two blades across her back, each no longer than her arm, everite with a slight curve and a wicked edge. She flips them around in her hands, gloves scuffing over the leather-wrapped hilts as she strides forward. Jamie moves to flank Ruby on one side and Lexa catches his eye and nods, announcing, "I have the right," before moving to take up a position on that other side. She moves confidently, but doesn't sprint headlong into the fray, instead watching the fear demons and how they move before--when the moment is right--springing forward to lash out at one, chopping at the stinger-like appendages jutting from its back.
