Satyr kicks hurt. The hooves of their opponent caught their stomach, leading to bruising for sure and perhaps even a gash or two. It would have to wait for later, however, as Juniper was holding this woman to the ground with every bit of physical strength she could muster, and they were counting themself lucky that their opponent was a caster as well, rather than someone with more martial prowess. Between kicks, they spoke, desperately holding on.
"I don't want to have to kill you here! If you keep this up, someone else will get to you, if I don't, and I really, really don't want to." She had joined the Nox because she felt it was the one place she could fit in, after the accident. Already likely wanted in her home town, she figured adding to the list, if anyone even found out it was her, wouldn't hurt. Despite that, however, they never wanted things to be this... Personal.
The town burning down could be chalked up to an accident. The guard from earlier could be reasoned away in her mind, with the distance between them and the fact that killing him delayed exactly what was happening now, and it didn't hurt that she was more worried about spiting a very particular vampire than their own, or others, wellbeing. But this was different. The Satyr could stand up for herself, sure, but now it was personal. Like it was going to be with the girl, had the captain had her way, and Lucien not intervened. Juniper desperately didn't want to be a murderer, but it was too late for them already. All they could do now was try to keep more from happening, however vainly, and act as a pirate would when it was absolutely necessary.
The changeling allowed herself to be kicked away, and now held her stomach gingerly as she looked at her counterpart.
"Please, just go... Before I have to fight. Please." A plea, and one Juniper would likely regret, either due to the satyr, or the captain, depending on who decided to take initiative.
