Scares-The-Stars snarled and stopped abruptly grabbing the young girl's shoulder to halt her as well as to turn her towards Stars. Stars' face was furrowed more than usual, her short sharp teeth were revealed as she spoke to Ty-Ran.
"If you were strong willed then you would not think to defend your intelligence, it would be inferred. If you weren't stupid then you would know that just being able to defend yourself doesn't mean that you're smarter than anyone." She spat her words at the young girl. There were quite a number of things that annoyed Scares-The-Stars, but few that infuriated her. Being overly naive was one of them.
"If you could defend yourself, you wouldn't shake in your boots at the thought of killing a person. If you're here to help your village and your brothers then you obviously have a village to help you take care of your brothers meaning you have support." Stars paused for a moment studying the girl's face. Tears were running down and had coated the fur on her Tang-Mo face. There was a moment when Scares-The-Stars' brow had loosened and her beady eyes had softened a bit as she looked at the young girl's eyes, but the moment was quickly gone and the snarling face of the angry woman was there again.
"And if you really wanted to help then you would stop crying and try to learn a little from those that ARE older than you." She released Ty-Ran's shoulder with a slight push to accompany the release and turned from the girl with an air of irritation. The other soldiers had simply marched past the two in the confrontation, but looks of confusion were garnered from them as they passed the two of them. Stars' tail tip curled and uncurled as she walked away from the girl. Her Shuqli armor chinked as she walked and instead of the girl Stars thought about the sound. Probably the last peaceful sound I'll hear for a long time, she thought to herself as she looked up to the bleak sky and experienced the snowflakes melting on her face.
