Piper watched as her aunt's features seemed to transform. Deep in her gut, the Redleaf girl knew that she had crossed a line, but she was far too stubborn to back down after having vocalized her thoughts. Though she had never been hurt by Indra, there was a part of her that feared she would soon feel the lashing of her aunt's fangs against her skin.

The russet woman turned away from the child and disappeared before Piper had another chance to say anything. Her eyes followed with confusion, not understanding that her aunt had left in order to prevent herself from hurting the young Redleaf. Instead of feeling vindicated, the fiery girl felt as though she had caused more harm than she had intended.

After Indra faded from sight, Piper turned with a sigh and slowly moved away in the opposite direction. Her eyes were trained on the ground beneath her and her heart ceased its wild hammering.
