The bucket clattered to the ground a moment later, now free of its contents. It rolled a few feet down the slope from the gate before a small stone turned it sideways from its course. Coatleque had stopped, her hands raised shoulder length to either side with her back arched. Her head was scrunched down as if to duck something, her eyes closed and mouth hung open in utter disbelief. One of the Blades at the gate snickered at first till the look of fear by the second quieted him.
The bird below her was seemingly unphased by any of this still and it merely cocked its head from side to side, changing its view as needed. She finally let out an incredulous gasp with a few blinks of her eyes.
"You... bitch..."
She could have turned back. Perhaps she should have. Everything in her being cried out for it. On the other hand she was afraid to move as something started to seep between the scales on her back. She kept her eyes straight ahead and she saw the look of the one Blade trying as best he could not to laugh. It may have been his presence alone that stayed her hand.
Remembering who she was and that all eyes were now on her whether she wanted them or not, she took up the reins again. "Twleve forfend this woman from my hand... this is not over.", she sneered before spurring the bird on once more back into the city.
