[Normally? Feferi was balanced enough to keep her violence contained. It was directed to monsters - and they only died to keep her 'mother' fed. When it was directed at a person? They were a threat, or they had pushed her too far.
Gamzee aside, of course; the indigo blood was a bad influence on her mental state.
But this wasn't anything close to normal. Highblooded trolls were never perfectly stable; that had been bred and broken out of them through the ages. The violent side was under the surface of even the most good-natured highblood, just waiting for the right catalyst to bring it out.
It's particularly true for seadwelling trolls. The ocean doesn't teach its children to be kind. It teaches them to survive, and cruelly.
The silence is all too telling for Feferi. She scans the bottom floor first; if it's a monster that's refusing to answer, it will be dispatched quickly. How dare they intrude on what is her territory, by sending one?
She doesn't see anything, and then, it's to the stairs. Her eyes trace the perimeter, finally landing on the steam in the distance.]
This is your last chance. I am Her Imperial Consideration, and I demand that you show yourself.
