Boothe continued shooting her glares and grumbling under his breath, displeased about having to share information with a stranger. He wasn't one to mince words, preferring to keep to himself, and that his sister so freely gave her words away irritated him. But he wouldn't say anything, because he'd come to think of himself as more mature than that, and when the male began answering them, he simply turned his head away and pinned his ears back, ignoring them both completely. Sophie glanced at him with a tight face, and then looked back to their companion, her ears swiveling atop her head unhappily.
"Yeah, we didn't find nothing," She said in agreement as he mentioned that prey was hard to find in the colder months. She wondered if that was perhaps why the little elves were all hiding from her; were they asleep in warm burrows, too busy sleeping the winter away to worry about their mushrooms? Maybe they did that thing that bears did, whatever it was called...she couldn't quite remember, now. Oh well.
Boothe was addressed then, but he didn't turn to look or even lift an ear in acknowledgement to the words, staring fixedly back the way they'd come with a frown pulling at his maw. Sophie frowned at him, but he ignored her, too, so in the end she just turned her head from him, too, and the pair pretended the other didn't exist for the next couple minutes. "We'd be awful appreciative," Sophie said, as she remembered the large word as something Trigger had used to express his gratitude. At his question, though, Sophie pressed her ears back uncertainly, and then glanced at her brother for help before sticking her nose hesitantly in the air, trembling a little for no apparent reason. "We're big 'nough to hunt!" She defended herself, and then glanced at Boothe again and thought hesitantly to herself, "Well, Boothe is, anyway."
