Lost Creek Hollow i was once like you are now, and i know that it's not easy

So it didn't seem like Breccan's tactics were working at first -- there was no response from Sionnach, and he peeked over his shoulder just long enough to see that she was still turned away from him. Maybe he had been spending too much time with Aengus, which would explain how he wasn't quite up to her standards of play; whatever the case, he kept digging for a few more seconds and his mind started to drift to other things.

Suddenly, though, he heard a shout from behind and paused to look back. Sionnach was marching toward him, her misshapen face looking even more so with her deeply furrowed brow and big ole' frown. She growled at him, and he blinked down at her as she approached with bared teeth. "Uh-uh," he said, shaking his head and staying put, "this root was mine waaay before you came along, pipsqueak." It wasn't quite the reaction he had been going for, but at least she wasn't wallowing in her own misery anymore!
