Larksong Grotto Let me tell you about life

Laurel didn't believe a word Jhala said; of course she was lying, she was always lying. She pulled a face as her stepmother said that she could say these words because of her rank and she suggested, "Well, then I can use whatever words I'd like, too!" Because she was even better than grand vicar, she was Reek's daughter and he was special to Raas, and therefore so was she.

She wrinkled her nose at the smell of the pee and made a 'yuck' face then. "Buhh, you're gross!" The tone of Laurel's voice was almost accusatory as she stared at Jhala with a deep frown. "Good luck with the ugly, smelly little rats, I'm gonna play with Reek!" Laurel turned away from the den then and started to walk away, eager to get away from the assault to her sense of smell as well as away from her stupid stepmother-from-hell and the little rats that were trying to take her place in her father's heart.
