fun, fun, fun thread.


And yet again the two mature and dignified canines had descended the slippery slope into petty name-calling, it seemed. Except that this insult was not an insult: it was an extremely nonsensical comment on her species, although he spoke as if he thought of it as lower than his. This could only be ignorance, though, so Caspa did not take offence. If he really had nothing better than that to throw back at her, then he must not find too much fault with her personally, which was an encouraging thought despite the uncouth behaviour it was wrapped up in. As he turned his back on her she gave a soft moan of despair under her breath. "Do you want to try and think of something else to say to me before I chase you right back out of these lands?" It was an empty thread, mostly. If he'd actually attacked her, she might have tried it. Shifted and with his despised knife in hand, she could probably manage. But he'd just been a grouch, and she could forgive him that. She wasn't the sweetest company herself: she didn't know how to be. Plus, she would have felt rather guilty for leading him on all this way and then proving the journey to have been wasted. No: Caspa was determined to build bridges between them somehow, although she would probably have quite a lot more rough edges to sand off the conversation before they could find any kind of normality, now they'd both got their hackles up. "Why does a silly human tool make you lose your temper anyway?" she asked, a rather pleading tone in her voice. She prayed there was a sensible answer ahead: even Caspa's infinitesimal patience could only stretch so far.
