Bearclaw Valley everything is never as it seems

Laurel squinted her eyes as she was laughed at, finding that if anyone had a reason to laugh, it was her, in the sight of the ridiculous name. She rolled her eyes for good measure as Poet said it was a religious kind of thing. Laurel wondered if it was anything like the god that her father had once worshipped. She hated religion of any kind for it, for it had made him put others before her. Well... It was one of the things that had, anyway.

It was a good thing she was already leaving, anyway. With the grumpy attitude still full-blown Laurel said, "See ya," and turned away from Poet to go and find Indra, who'd surely put her in a better mood, at least somewhat.
