I swear it was left, no, right?

She could never have antipated a lecture from Bas of all people, but here she was getting one! He wasn?t that much older than her yet here he was acting like he was her father or something. Actually, come to think of it even Val hadn?t really given her a lecture on exploring. The only one who had really done so was Emer, when she finally caught up with Cecily or Signy, or them both and was out of breath and frantic and scolding the pair of them.



He would in fact now bring up her mother and she would scowl at him, he was quickly losing points to her favour and she would stick a tongue out his way. She bet no one ever told Signy off when he went off and found a tiger and decided to hunt that! Not that she knew what a tiger was, she was yet to see one. Ohh, that reminded her, she was supposed to catch one! Before she got sick her and Signy had decided they would try to catch a tiger before the other. Her annoyance at Bass quickly faded in the light of a new idea.



?Well actually?? she mused, her eyes taking on an adventurous glint ?Now that I have my big strong knight here, I?m fine right? You?re so big and strong and handsome. I bet no one could mess with you? she continued. Oh yeah, she was really laying on the flattery. He had mentioned returning to Valhalla, but she had much bigger plans for their day. ?I bet a big strong wolf like you knows how to find a Tiger!! Of please Bass, I can?t let Signy beat me at this? she begged, this meant the world to her ? beating Signy.
