Although it was all a game, Osprey's heart broke into a sprint when Blue Willow declared she would attack her instead of Peregrine. Standing her ground nonetheless, the youngster boldly bellowed, "You canna get me!"

At the same time, she feinted forward a few times, lips wrinkled and tail lashing to show Blue Willow that she didn't fear her, even if her heart continued to race in her chest.
