Chishio’s eyebrow rose in amusement when she spoke. He’d found a feisty one! The very thought of a good verbal battle sent pleasurable chills running up his spine. A devious smile crawled onto his lips as he stood before his newest victim, tail high and waving proudly behind him. It was obvious that he’d struck a nerve in the woman, and he would pursue that line of torture until he grew bored of it.
“I’m afraid that the bear would more likely go after you, missy,” he began; his voice cool and collected despite the insults thrown his way. “I’m not the one that looks like a liddle bunny rabbit.”
He pointed a finger in her tail’s—or what was left of it—direction and sneered. Were he a better man, he would have left the woman alone and been hurt by her words; for it was true that he was a mess. His body was riddled with unfashionable scars and graced with an eye from which he could hardly see. His ear was marred and misshapen; a souvenir of a fight he would rather soon forget. His stomach churned at the thought of the drugs that had ravaged his body long ago, and he cringed from the throbbing pain of the self-inflicted wounds upon his legs and back. But a better man he was not, and he was left unscathed when she threw her insults in his face. Chi stood proudly before her, very aware of his disgusting faults, but unwilling to admit them to a beast like her.
“Hop along, Peter Rabbit,” he said as he motioned for her to shoo. “Go find your own pitiful excuse for a building.”
He crossed his arms again and lowered himself so that he could sit, staring at her expectantly through disapproving eyes. The more he looked upon her, the less inclined he felt to stay and torment the woman. Should she return his abuse in an acceptable manner, however, he would consider reconsidering.
