Cal still quiet shocked watched Muse and Story. After what seemed like an eternity his legs finally moved forward, his eyes shone with anger. There was no way he was going to let someone talk to Muse in the way that Story just did. He knew that he needed to do something. Standing a bit taller he slowly marched in front of Muse protectively, his voice a low growl when he finally spoke
"Story...I think you're the jealous one. I think you are so afraid of Muse that you believe you should make her feel bad about herself that you need to be mean to her and anyone she tries to make friends with!"
Getting angrier with each word he stepped forward, his stutter fading quickly from his speech. He seemed to forget that Story and Muse were both there watching this display.
"I am NOT afraid of you Story...You can come at me and attack me all you wish but you will NOT do you hear me NOT attack Muse in any way. I will not allow it. She is a wonderful special mare, she's not a little filly and she's definitely not stupid. She is I'm sure a star in someones eyes...I know I find myself longing for her, and she probably has countless others that feel the same way. So stop being jealous Story...Stop being such a ....a...."
His words faltered and he grew flush as he realized his speech, he had just claimed to want Muse, in front of Muse no less. But that didn't matter...right...he could still tell Story off...he felt his confidence shaken slightly but still held his ground. Not speaking another word in case the words would betray his false sense of bravery.
