Briar gave a big eye roll when he corrected her by telling her his name was Artorias. She knew his name, but blue boy was way better in her humble opinion. Blue Boy was way catchier and way more unique that a fancy name like Artorias. She didn't inform him of this though... but she silently knew that he would still be Blue Boy as far as she was concerned. Luckily they didn't dwell on this for too long since the chittering primate had both of their attention at the moment. So it probably was one of his mother's companions then if he was familiar enough with the blue-eyed creature to say he was a pain and that he didn't like him. That was more than enough for her to double down on her plans for how to get rid of their little shadow - at least for a little while. She knew all too well from how persistent her father's various animals were that if they were given a task then they were usually pretty set on seeing it through. In this case the task was watching them so they were going to have to be pretty clever to give this money the slip.

She nodded to the bit of information she was given about how he wasn't very fast out of a tree and started thinking of all the places near by that they might be able to hide. Once he started counting down to their escape she made a quick decision and as soon as he said "three" she was off! She darted away from the tree line, moving more out into the open beach to put an immediate bit of distance between them and where the lemur was most comfortable. She could hear him chattering and screeching after them, but the sound gadded off behind them so she guessed that he didn't get down to run after them - at least not right away. She curved their path down the beach a bit before swinging back inland a bit, sill avoiding the biggest cluster of trees and ducking behind rocks when she could. Eventually they got to the main training area for the pack and she ducked into the structure that they had build for their barracks. It was a pretty simple structure with plain walls and a flat roof, but it gave enough shelter for them to keep their extra training dummies and supplies in and offered a few extra places to sleep.

She skidded to a stop once they were inside and wriggled her way under one of the straw filled dummies to hide. She squirmed and turned to face back toward the door with just her head sticking out, a wide grin on her face while she tried her best to not let her panting be too loud. It was like a really exciting game of tag and she wanted to win so bad! Her ears were perked forward to listen for the sound of the lemur that was probably chasing after him. As loud as he was she had no doubt that they would hear him coming and she had to bite back some excited giggles at the prospect that they might have gotten away.
