[PQ+] you quack me up

you gotta get bruised before you get mad
you gotta fall down before you fight back

Tarak was apparently more fierce than Sohalia thought; the mother backed off, albeit not without a few choice words for the Luminary. Affronted by the woman's abrasive words, Sohalia glared at her rather uncharacteristically before turning away, offering a grateful pat to her companion. She might feel bad about stealing the duck from the boy, but there was no reason for the woman to curse at them. Perhaps if she'd asked nicely, things would have gone differently.

In any case, Sohalia looked around at the competitors milling about. Seeing another child with another duck - and no, Soh was not about to touch that with a ten foot pole - she headed in the opposite direction, towards another lampost, and began to search around it, even sending Tarak up to check the top of the post for any hidden ducks.
