[@Raijinslayer] Mikoto clenched her teeth, fighting the urge to grab the offending finger and rip it our of its socket. But other than that gave no sign of tensing up. Mentally though, she was already in combat mode. True, Paddy told her to stay put, but if it was self defense it would be perfectly fine. She would just have to provoke him to be the first one to get physical, which honestly didn't seem so hard. "Spoken like a true primitive. And I wondered why they think of us so low, but with people like you still breathing it is starting to make a bit more sense." she shot back in equally mocking tone. Her right arm slid down form behind her back and hung along her body, resting over Quilltact's hiding place and ready to draw if necessary. Her eyes sized up the pathetic excuse for a man next to her. Mikoto was pretty certain she could put him to the ground if it came to it. Taking a few faster paces, Mikoto walked past this Silme before turning around and walking backwards, her red eyes pointed at the guy's. "And how do you suppose the oppression started, hm? The humans though themselves superior. Seems exactly like what you are doing. It came to bite the humans in the ass. Are you certain you want to go down this road?" she asked, one eyebrow raised and toying with the thought of casting a sheet of ice under this mongrel's feet.
