omfg LMAO <3

val expected ash to hound his steps. one ear turned back as ash's voiced clapped like a crack of stone overhead -- a word he knew but had never heard uttered with such vitriol.

for a moment he stopped, ears cupped back against a head which wore a confused expression. in the moment, her insult stung -- but it planted in val little seedlings of doubt.

he pressed on, stalking with newfound annoyance away from ash.
