He really should have expected Cascade to go and ruin his moment by trying to topple him, but he hadn't. Because of this she very nearly succeeded in unbalancing him by pushing against his grounded foreleg. A tight grip on her shoulder kept him from wobbling and a playful, chastising nip directed towards her ear would hopefully keep her from trying again. If she did, though, he would be ready to take her down with him for old time's sake.

Her replies, while amusing, didn't have the desired impact. Instead, they reminded him of where he and Rhythm were now and it saddened him. He felt old and grey, and in the weird dreamscape, he became old and grey; looking just like he did in the world of the living.

He chuckled and even to his own ears the sound was weird and mirthless. Mentally he shook himself. His time in this dreamscape was too precious to waste on sadness. Valentine decided to change tactics and tell her about something that might cheer her up. "I'll keep that in mind for later, but presently, I'm afraid I'm too busy seeking revenge."

He let the last statement hang in the air for a moment in the hopes he'd draw her in. "You see," he said candidly, "Rhythm and Rhyme were taken captive by slavers. They took Rhythm's sight, made her birth their bastards," These statements should have been spat with rage, but he was determined to keep his tone light and draw Cascade in. "And, well, you know how I feel about disrespect. They stole from me. They owe me."

Valentine sniffed and then tried to jostle Cascade with the arm that was over her shoulder. "And you, you little jerk, had to up and die on me right as things got interesting." While he had more to say, Valentine got a little choked up and had to pause to swallow the grief that had briefly ruined his lackadaisical tone. "Now who's gonna neuter those fuckers with me, huh?"

"Talk" "You" Think

NOTE: Valentine has a female striped skunk companion named Lefty. Unless stated otherwise assume she's present.
