Laurel looked at Spring as she listened to what she had to say. Being naturally defiant, Laurel always wanted to know the why's and how's and what for's of everything. What Spring said rose another question for her: "What's emotionnully?" She tilted her head in question, wondering what sort of way of hurt this was. She knew about emotions, sort of, but they weren't a very clear concept to her just yet.

"Okay," she agreed eventually, and she nodded at Spring. Then she turned to her snail-baby and said, "NO puppy, get 'way from daddy!" And she made to grab her snail-baby carefully between her teeth to walk away from Spring at a brisks trot.
