Horizon Ridge the lotus-eaters

Silvermane currently reminds me of that video about cat-calling where the lady just keeps walking in silence, and dudes follow her around like creeps. And yeah that's fine!

Were all low-bred men like this? Believing that they could shout so rudely at a lady and then be expecting pleasantries in return? It shouldn't have been so surprising to her, really. But when he advanced upon her with further verbosity, Basilie rounded upon him and flashed her teeth. It didn't matter so much what he said at this point, but the fact that he was drawing closer and continuing to insult her did not do him any favors.

You presume I am here to be your entertainment, then? Rhetoric. A concept developed by the Greeks, yet a piece of their culture she would readily assume. Her head ducked at his own bow, although not as low and flamboyant as his own movement. She was being defensive and hiding away her throat just in case this fool went beyond his verbal abuse.

Leave me be. I did not ask for your company. The girl's shortened tail lashed against the grass, and she began to draw herself further from him with slow, deliberate steps.
