Kintla Flatlands Sound the bugle

Hawkeye took a deep breath in and held it. She was trying to be charitable (as Ariston had called her), and it was testing her patience. Trying to understand his position, she walked the few feet to the river and drank.

Feeling better, she turned to the male and spoke again. "I would gladly 'fuck off' if you weren't so close to my lands. I was just making sure you were okay, male, and it would be nice if you replied in kind. I am not here to try to attack you in your obviously weakened state, although I could; since I have not yet, you should at least be able to tell that I am trying to be friendly." She spoke with a slight impatient edge to her voice at the end of her words, but stayed calm. In his state, she could have easily taken him down but chose not to. He should have understood this before speaking to her in such a rude manner.
