Stupid Scary Squirrels

Beatrix I'll clean my room in exchange for your immortal soul Good grief why in heck could adults not follow along on a very simple and straight forward story?! Every time Edrei tried to interrupt with a question she gave her a real mean glare - one she most definitely learned from her mother. Stink eye ran strong in this family and Bea was a quick study in the subject. She sniffled and rubbed her nose and face on the blanket that was plopped over her head, holding it with both hands like a hood or cape to keep it snug against her hair. She looked a right pitiful little creature. Edrei would find her in pretty good condition too - a few scrapes and bruises but nothing terrible considering she had been off adventuring. The compliment went a long way though and the girl nodded with a sniffle. "Mom says we are tough stuff. So I was tough." she said, glancing at her boots, which still were covered in the blood of her fluffy-tailed enemies. Such a pretty red. When Edy asked about the hawk though, she shook her head. "I think it flew away once I got out." she said, wrinkling her nose at the thought of some prince disguised as an animal. "I don't need a stupid prince...unless they will bring me cookies when mom says no." she said. That was a thought...she could put up with a stupid prince if he brought her cookies. She could be nice for cookies. That seemed like a pretty good deal actually.
