Conquer the stars

Saffron grit her teeth as she heard the older woman cackle and howl at her expense. It pissed her off, but she wasn't going to do anything rash. There was no sense putting herself into a predicament she couldn't get out of over something stupid like this. Instead, she remained silent, her tail standing tall and rigid while her ears flicked, listening for anything other than the raucous, echoing laughter of the bitch sharing this dark space with her. Finally, the laughter died down, to be replaced by the sound of pawsteps shuffling around in the pitch black. Damn this blind hell of a cave, she hated not being able to see a possible threat. Why had she ever come in here in the first place? She'd thought she'd be in solitude, of course, but apparently that just wasn't destined to happen.

Trying to vaguely face the direction the voice came from next, she felt her muscles tensing as the words registered in her mind. So this woman had a problem after all, it seemed. The irritable sigh that followed, and the sound of the woman sitting, confused Saffron. What was this woman's deal?
It wasn't long before an explanation came forth, causing the girl to snort. Was she supposed to sympathize or something? It wasn't her fault this woman had come in here when the place was already occupied! "So what?" she retorted, glaring into the blackness, "Are you nose blind or something? Obviously you came in here behind me. Couldn't you have just left and gone somewhere else? You just had to come in here, and now we're both miserable. Or maybe you just enjoy being a pain?"

She wasn't afraid to speak her mind and express how irritated she was. This could have been a peaceful excursion into the dark, the perfect place for a deep, restful sleep, but now that definitely wasn't going to happen. In fact, she now had no idea what was going to happen next. This wasn't exactly what she'd had planned for today.
