She smirked. You could tell from the contours on her face that she was mocking him. He knew he deserved it but wouldn't be trashed by a lady.

He couldn't say a word at that time but he could bide his time for some whiles before he would choose what to do.

The lady was standing under the same tree he had intended to run away from. Her palms were tarred with the blood of the tiger.

He was still trying to put together the smithereens of scenes of how she did it without a tool in her hand.

He must confess that he did admire her courage and zeal. Her will to stand her ground and do what wouldn't or shouldn't be done.

He could never had done that.

But come to think of it. If he didn't have wings, what would he had done then?

Wouldn't he had found a way to either tame the tiger or kill it?

He kept blotting out the thought, trying to prevent it from permeating his mental ken.
