Life is tough my darling, but so are you.
Of the things on her Deepfrost bingo card, having an abominable snowball screeching past her head was not one of them. Its piercing cry had her wincing and clasping her hands over her ears. Oceanic excursions didn't usually include obnoxious noises or snow. "Hey!" Thal waved her hands to shoo the small creature away from the fragile baubles. "Those are mine! Leave them alone!" In the dramatic waving of her arms, her foot bumped the paint can at her face, tilting it precariously on the edge of the pier. Growling in frustration, she abandoned the baubles to snag the handle before it toppled off into the sea.
Thal shot a deadly glare at the snowball and threatened in a low voice, "I will kill you if you break any of those. I paid good money for them." As she spoke the words, she noticed that a leash was trailing away from the white bundle, leading to an exasperated woman. With an annoyed indication to the screeching animal, she asked, "Is this unpleasant creature yours?"
