It was only as Tybault's eyes landed on him that Dusty Rose remembered their "disagreement" — and that the man would undoubtedly be upset about what had transpired while he was gone. Still, the reaction was a little puzzling, since Dusty Rose had never actually agreed to any staying away from Reverie, and had invited Tybault change his mind — an invitation which had, he recalled, been summarily dismissed.

His ears tremored while he listened for the other shoe to drop, the chips to fall, etc... but he stayed right where he was, remaining seated so that, if Tybault decided to attack, it would be clear it was unprovoked. His liquid blue eyes were calm and inquisitive, his shoulders relaxed.

Go on, he thought, his tail whisking across the dirt in a friendly sort of manner. Make my day, asshole.

Part of him was worried, though. Tybault looked as though he'd seen better days.
