double dog dare you

She digs and digs, keeping her sharp feline claws pulled into her toes. No sense in risking her main form of defense in digging a stupid hole. Which feels more stupid the farther she goes. Her paws are getting sore, her muscles burning with exertion. But there is no end in sight. Even her ears feel achy as they continue to press down into her skull. Why wouldn't that wailing STOP!?

When Davey cuts his paw, Mags stops, peering around the spire at him to see if he's okay. He doesn't seem terribly hurt and she's glad for the pause in their digging. Again, a rise in the wailing forces her eyes closed and a jarring sensation to ripple through her veins. "WHY WON'T IT STOP!?" She croons, teeth grinding together as she falls back onto her rump. Tilting her head back as well, Magdalene lifts her muzzle to the sky and creates a circle with her lips and she does what she's been born to do.

Magdalene howls. Her own song lights the sky, harrowing and persistent, almost begging the wailing to give in. If she could match their tone, maybe it would make them happy.
