An actively hunting Vyrn *can* shake off his instincts when he's succumbed to them. Perhaps he's scared you way too much, or noticed you hurt yourself during the chase
Regardless, he feels terrible and is trying VERY hard to seem less threatening. Despite having been *hunting* you moments earlier..
![mar-Tykoni, Grand Matriarch of the Halavahdon and leader of the Explorer Pod, talking with mel-Lothann, Chief of the Benefactor Warrior Pods. Both are watching Halavah-Nimona disappear in her fashion, pink sparkles marking where she once was.
Their conversation is very simple.
mar-Tykoni: Do you think she'll be all right?
mel-Lothann: She'll [Nimona will] be fine. No matter what shape she takes, she will always be a Warrior.
Truer words never spoken, Lothann.](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:elkaqmtp6jungrlduneo6ghh/bafkreicceuq4jsb2ydrtg3sj6a7wmnhujmfcmsnzyzuhbm45oirlvzhyxm)
![The character Death from Puss in Boots: The Last Wish walking out of the Wishing Star's fire like the character Randall Flagg walking out of the Dark Tower. Flagg is the Big Bad of the Stephen King multiverse in the same way that Lobo was the Big Bad of The Last Wish, and while the Dark Tower is vastly bigger a story, both hit on the same themes. And Lobo is a near picture-perfect "Exported Character" of Randall Flagg himself. With his scythes out and ready for combat, he's scarier than a lot of depictions of Randall Flagg on both the large and small screen.
In this preliminary sketch he's walking out of the Wishing Star's fire like Flagg walking out of the Dark Tower to face Roland Deschain.
The quote, from The Stand, is: "He looks just like anybody you see on the street. But when he grins, birds fall dead off telephone lines. When he looks at you a certain way... your urine burns. The grass yellows up and dies where he spits. He's always outside [of things]. He came out of time...
... he doesn't know himself."
Flagg, or Lobo? Either of these red-eyes psychopaths can ruin your day in an instant. Hope you never meet either of them.](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:elkaqmtp6jungrlduneo6ghh/bafkreicqzuzeasnf7sofcacqtlyd7w3me674rm4dvhx4eawjmsluyont2a)
