Maska could hear many an insult aimed at his own person without even raising an eyebrow, but one did not insult a Spirit Guide. It was unheard of! The Hare hissed at the female, but said nothing. The pathetic female did not even know what she had done. Even the most placid of AniWayans would have asked for her punishment for that. He growled furiously as he moved towards her. In a flash he was right by her, his face mere hair-breadths from hers as he bared his teeth and growled, radiating fury. Sikyatavo mumbled something to him in a low tone and Maska glanced at him, retreating somewhat and calming himself with a controlled smile. "Perhaps we shall see who is the rat in time" he said, looking as if he was enjoying her lack of wits. Clearly, she did not value her life, and it would be easy to kill this one.

Perhaps the Marino woman would realize that she was in a hurry - she would need to retrieve her little stars quickly. There would be room in this cabin for more, if she did not give him what he wanted. He stared slyly at her as he waited to see what she had to say for herself.
