Riley didn't know what to talk about for once, so he didn't talk. He just took in the sounds of the tools hitting stone and the people chattering/yelling in other places of the cave.

Now and then Shade would direct the certain way to hit the target and that type of thing. But he was quiet otherwise. No growls or grumbles or mutters. He seemed more like a real person. Unless someone else was around, then his hate was directed dead on them. Never Riley.

he bites her again.

"Your hopeless." She sighed and then gently turned him over, taking back her finger easily and then gently placing his paws to the ground before letting go of his torso.

He attacks her ankle, biting down on it as hard as he can.

She barely winces, that she somewhat felt, but then simply does that nerve thing to his neck again. " I think your now on my hate list." But instead of hate she said something .... stronger.

Once again he stiffens, glaring at her the whole time.

She simply speaks. "Just don't mess with me and I won't mess with you. Try again and I won't fight like a human does." She then tenderly massages the spot until the nerves came back and let him move again.

He attacks her again.

She grabs his snout and twists his head down and pushes it to the ground and uses the rest of her arm to pin his body. "I think I'm going to hate you a lot more than Shade, and I thought that bish was a piece of shet."
