You don't know

Mid dig he was shouting at her and she stopped everything she was doing. Her ears tilted back and she looked back at him as he shouted. "What are you doing? Get out! Come back! How dare you!"Her tail tucked and she twisted towards how she had squeezed in there.

It was an order but he seemed angry at the same time. Her eyes dropped and she lowered herself. If she came out he was angry already and as much as she wanted to see what was at the base of the spire, she really didn't want his anger. Anger with these behemoths lead to pain for her. If she didn't do as he said though, the pain would be worse. She could hear him digging and she moved then. Hopping up onto the larger spot and squeezing through until she was outside the spire.

She stood there then and waited. She expected pain. All she had wanted was to satiate the curiosity inside her mind and figure out what was at the base of the spire. She lowered her head and kept her eyes down. Submission before it was demanded of her, conditioned to take any beating she was given, she wasn't running or going to fight back.
