Appropriate name, but.
"They should have named you something that meant mood swings if they were going for accuracy," Araiya chortled. He'd lost both his hope for finding what he needed and his interest in it. "You don't want compliments and you don't want insults. How does one appease you, princess?"
With nothing to lose, he turned back to her and flopped down in the mud. She evidently found him ugly, so getting filthy wasn't going to tarnish her already bad impression of him.
Oops. Had he splashed her?
Might be better to stop grinning about it.
Any second now...

It wasn't her, that much was certainly clear. She might have been cordial after that whole rock incident, as long as he'd kept his distance. But then he'd gone and called her names again.
And now he had the gall to act surprised?
"Appease me?" Nava gave him a smile that might have been pleasant, if her teeth hadn't been showing quite so much. "You appease me by--URG!"
A hunk of mud caught her neatly in the face. She stood, shocked, her eyes bright in a mask of dark brown sludge. For a moment all Nava could do was gape at Araiya as he reclined in his mud bath. But then her brain (or maybe it was her pride) caught up with events. Fury inhibited her ability to form coherent words, or, for that matter, coherent thoughts, but it certainly didn't inhibit her from acting.
With a shriek of incoherent rage, Nava scooped up a pawful of mud and slung it directly at Araiya's obnoxious, white, grinning face.

Splat! Right between the eyes.
The slightest of shakes rocked his shoulders and it wasn't long until Araiya was engulfed in another fit of full-fledged laughter. He raised a paw to his forehead and guided it down to clear his line of sight. You might say his vision was mud-dled.
"That's very brave of you to hit a prince in the face like that," he quipped.
If her goal was to rid him of that incessant grin, her actions had been counterproductive. Now it was a smug grin on top of everything.

Aaaagh! How dare he sit there and laugh! How DARE he!
Flinging that mud had momentarily returned her sanity. Momentarily. She was on the verge of losing it again. What she really wanted to do wasn't ladylike, she told herself. It wasn't dignified. It wasn't proper.
But Nava was very close to saying ******** that. ******** being a lady, and being the better lion! She would have let the whole thing go (so she told herself), but he just HAD to start flinging dirt.
It's all his fault!
And that damned white grin was just egging her on. She ground her teeth together until her jaws creaked.
"A Prince?" Her voice quivered, coming out somewhat strangled and a few octaves too high. "A prince wouldn't fling mud at a lady! A prince wouldn't steal a lady's prey! And--" She drew herself up, willing her haughtiest look onto her face as she stared down her nose at him. "A prince certainly doesn't laugh at a lady!"
Hopefolly Sorry sorry sorry for the wait! Life came and chewed me up last week. ;; And by life I mean mostly work. It was a b***h.
