Don't Make Me Come In There!

It seemed that her company wasn’t interested in a discussion exercise. That was disappointing. The only thing that would have made his fit of rage even better, was if she had been able to get him tongue-tied as well. He invited her to come find out how their confrontation would end, to which she would shrug before offering another nonchalant answer. “Mmm … I’m more interested in the long game.” Aurelia answered. Where was the fun in fighting, when she could banter with him all afternoon and evening?

Even though she was out of reach, that didn’t stop him from trying to take another shot at her. Though, she did her best to remain still in the face of his tantrum. “It’s a good thing you aren’t one to overreact …” She mused in a tone of slight annoyance as the ceiling of her warren crumbled overhead from the force Sephiran used to strike the rock with his body. Once things had the opportunity to settle, she shook the dust from her pelt, casting a downward glance at the rabbit. It was covered in grit as well. Lovely. Just as she had made the decision to wait on her meal, her attention was drawn back to the boy as he declared he would figure out a way to force her to retreat. She couldn’t help the breathy chuckle as he withdrew his head from the opening. “Okay, I’m going to take a nap while I await your return. See you when you get back!” Aurelia called after him, her tone mocking. She hoped that he had heard her- the idea of his frustration was quite entertaining.

Though, she knew that with whatever he would return with, it would be in her best interest to not be around. Just in case he lay outside in an effort to set a trap, Aurelia took a glance toward the alternate exit of the warren. It was a long narrow tunnel, but she knew it would turn out further down the gorge from a prior exploration. Scooping up her rabbit, she’d make her escape. Her only lingering thought- the disappointment that she wouldn’t be able to witness Sephiran’s discovery that she wasn’t there.
