When you walked into a den of bears, you stepped with a light foot. Echo, a warrior of the Ice Nation, was now walking solo into the commander's camp, well aware that she was surrounded by the very people she had once fought against. The people that she had killed the brother's and sister's of. It was why she she did so with an inward caution, and an outward arrogance; because at any moment they could turn on her, but if she was going to die she wanted them to see she was proud to have done what she had done. The Ice Nation might have been forced to submit, and build an alliance; but she was a warrior who still served her Queen before anyone else--she would obey the commander, but unlike the Tree People, it was not blind obedience--it was because she had no other choice.
Once she was shown to the commander's tent, Echo walked to the center and faced the commander. "Hei Heda, ai laik Echo kom Azgeda." She told her in their language before switching to the language only warriors spoke, "And I have been sent by my queen to find out what you have learned of the invaders, and how you planned to kill them." Her tone wasn't overly arrogant, and held just the right amount of respect. She wasn't trying to get killed but the commander held an army of hundreds, and now she faced two enemies she could not defeat--the Mountain and the Sky People. Echo was also very careful to make sure she was aware of all of Lexa's warriors that were in the room--for Nia had killed the commander's lover, and as a favorite of Nia's, Echo knew she could find herself in the same fate. More so, since one could assume that as Nia's favorite, she might have had a hand in the killing.
