Broken Boulder Roads go ever ever on

The fact that he cowed so easily egged Mali on more.  He usually wasn't a bully, but combine him feeling he was so sure he was right with it and well... Here they were.  Except Mali wasn't very good at this either, floundering a moment, ears flicking back a second before pricking forward again.  Uhh.  I dunno.  Wherever ya came from!  Not here!  S'just us, not you!  Whoever the heck this kid was.  Someone totally needed to make him go away so Mali could go back to his proper job of finding his mom.
