Ouroboros Spine Catch me outside.

She has it in her head that I'm some deadbeat, waste of space, jerk-off! Tulukiri explained in her own terms. Her steps punched at the grass as she spoke, punctuating each syllable. She sighed after and was finally out of gas.

She sat again.

Her boss, Kigipigak, was called away by my boss, Tulimaq. Served as my trainer for a while. Then when we broke away from Tulimaq together, we headed to his village. That's where it all started. Amalia came at me first! Her scruff bristled up and down, puffing, deflating, a show of her annoyance.

She was punished for it. I let it go. I really, really do not give a shit! Her voice was full of mirth as she drew a long breath and exhaled a tired chuckle, but there was no warmth, no real humor there. And now today, she comes at me with a list of all the ways I've fucked up!

I told her to stop. She didn't. Instead she talks shit about my family — about Tartok — and I'm supposed to just let her? Ah, nah, ain't gonna happen. Her paws flexed against the dirt, feeling it crush underclaw.
