What is life? I was just prancing along to the own tune in my head, maybe even humming it I wasn't paying attention!, when out of the blue Tepiltzin appears and freaking TACKLES ME! AN EMPRESS! Queen, whatever, I was still an Empress. My title was interchangeable, in case you didn't know. He rushes me and I go down amidst yelping and growling, at first my adrenaline kicking into overdrive because I thought I was being attacked. I may have even bit a bit at his legs until I realized who it was and then I simply rolled over onto my belly and glared up at him as he scrambles away with a smirk. A SMIRK!

I actually growl at him in one of my tantrums because I realize suddenly what he is referring to. My paw slaps back onto the ground angrily as my ears flatten. I glare at my own paws for a minute, trying to figure out how the hell he got the drop on me. "Fine," I huff, suddenly pushing to a stand and shaking out my fur all regal like - you know, like an EMPRESS did. "I guess you win this time, forest boy." To say I was less than pleased by this was an understatement but then I got a clever idea which made my lips twist in mischief and my eyes twinkle.

Okay, I was being childish, but I COULD be and what was he going to do about it? Tattle on me? So I prance away with a flick of my tail and a wicked grin towards the area, wondering if Tepi will see through my guise...
