Her displeasure had been clear from the first second she'd gotten stuck in this situation, and she hadn't let up for even a moment since being stuck with the stupid blueberry. Sure, he was equally upset, but Echo didn't really give a crap about what he felt. If he was that miserable he could just let her go on her merry way.

Casting a disapproving look at her new shadow, Echo curled her lip and huffed. She was seated outside the den she'd been 'staying' in, and was seriously contemplating another escape attempt. Blue boy could probably use some cardio, right? It was good for your health, or something. Only a thin and uncertain thought had kept her from making any serious escape attempts. Mostly she just liked to listen to the griping and frustration emitted by Jupiter every time he realized she took off and he therefor had to run after her. It was a riot, even the tenth and eleventh times.

Wandering off quietly, she sat where she could see both the range and it's partially broken down barn as well as the snow-covered orchard behind her. Part of her was kind of tempted to see what was in that barn... Instead she shook, gold earrings tinking softly as they bumped each other, and moved into a bow while trying to decide what way to run off this morning. There were many untested possibilities remaining. The running wasn't even so much about escape as it was about feeling free. Too much time being a captive had worn on her. More than Echo cared to admit.

Echo's disapproving glance was met with an equally hostile one from Jupiter. He refused to take his eyes off of her. Had Valentine not insisted she be (relatively well) taken care of he'd have dug a pit and dropped her in already. Or broken one of those skinny little bird legs that kept enabling her to get away from him. But nooo. They needed her and they needed her to not completely hate them. Oh, hell. She was getting up which meant she was about to do something stupid and annoying, and he was going to have to tackle her. Jupiter sighed loudly. "Can we skip the part where you do something stupid, and I chase you, and I tackle you, and I drag you back here, and you scream a lot...and just I don't know...do something else?" "Jupiter"   "Amadeus" ”You”
