Ray pouted at her Auntie's logic. She had thought it was a good excuse! But maybe the woman was right, she couldn't give it so quickly after her first attempt. She sighed, still holding out hope for a lesson in stealth – but that was just as quickly rebuffed. “Why are you in hot water with an old man?” she wanted to know, not at all understanding the reference. Her expression zoned in on Selini, and she had called Ray's excuse terrible! She didn't understand at all what this had to do with teaching (or lack there of) how to stalk.

Then Selini would offer a compromise that she could live with, and she beamed at her eagerly. “Okay!” she agreed. Spending time with her Auntie rather then hanging around the group, bored, sounded like a great alternative.
