Snippet #2594042

Bic was furious. A visible shimmer of heat wafted from his scales as he stormed down the stairs, and his every breath came out as an angry growl from deep in his chest. He smelled the meat before he saw Verse, his head whipping up as he's speaking, he can't even vocalize a response at first. His first attempt comes out as a wordless snarl, and he leaves smoking gouges in the road with his claws. He takes a moment to stop and just breath, taking in the smells of the night, and the meat. Letting his body temperature settle somewhere closer to normal, he finally speaks.

"She attacked me," He states quickly, the words just spilling forth. "She tried to steal my whistle, then attacked me when i wouldn't let her. I tried Verse. I tried not to retaliate, but she set her slaves against me," He cuts short of the next part, looking away from Verse for a second before looking back at his resolute, "I would have killed her had Adam not stopped me," He grins viciously a dangerous glint in his eye, "I had them on the rope, the little psychic was getting weaker, the star was nothing. But I didn't She started everything, then she lied! Told him I attacked her," He roars, slamming his claws through the lamp post nearby, it leans but doesn't fall three long tears through it's base.

"Why can't they understand!? Why are we not equals!? What makes them think they are better than us!?" Rage and sadness built up over the course of their journey spill out of him, and finally he stops, goes silent and just looks at Verse waiting for his response.
