no patience is in me and if you abide me?
I'm liftin' you ten feet, in the air.
His snarled words stung for a moment. Tammy's skull? Sanja rumbled in sick amusement behind her thoughts and she remembered. Her eyes went blank for a moment before she flagged her tail yet again and snarled back at her mate. "If she were worn there as a trophy, then I'd have painted her black or red like the others." No denial, simply a refusal to back down.
"Tameri was taken from us, Tal. By a cold-blooded murderer. It would've been cruel to just bury her and forget her, like everyone else." Her voice steadied a bit. "It's a tradition you wouldn't understand. Just leave it alone."
Her eyes flicked to his posture, the clenched fists, the angry expression and she flashed him those teeth again, split tongue lashing out to wet them. "And lower your fucking tail, Taliesin, before I remove it completely. Rank before words!" In other words, 'know your fucking place'. Sky was anything but impressed.
