He sat in the corner of the cave, working on a small project, it looked as though it was a contraption of sorts. There was almost no noise bounding off of the rocky walls, yet still another entered. Lila frowned faintly to see her friend hiding away in there. She stepped into the cave and an audible sigh hissed from his mouth, clearly annoyed at the company.

She leaned up against the wall, careful not to scratch her arm as she did so. Shutting her eyes for a breif moment before looking at the huddled figure in the corner of the cave. "What are you doing? We've been looking for you." She sighed a little. They had been searching almost nonstop, finally finding him here, of all places.

There was no reply, she wanted to leave him be, but  persistently continued to ask for an answer. "We didn't know where you were, at all. For all we know, you could have been taken away by some mountain monster." She joked about the monster, smiling faintly. She waited for a reply but still nothing, not even an audible breath. He smile faded to a look of annoyance.

She tapped her foot on the dirty floor and waited. He turned to look at the figure who spoke, to make sure of who it was. He took one quiet look and then turned around once again.

"Can you please answer me?" Her voice changing from caring to bothered in an instant. Both did not want to be near each other by this point, but if she couldn't get an answer, even one word, she would be annoyed for the whole rest of the journey. "Hello? Answer?" Growling a little she stood upright and crossed her bruised arms. Thoughts began to grow in her head, does he hate me? Why? Is he acting like this because of me? Why won't he answer?! Suddenly, she blurted "CAN YOU ANSWER ME!?" Her face turning red with anger as the figure in front stood up and turned around. He turned to her huffing a little, He pointed at her, and then the cave exit as he raised his voice."YOU KNOW WHAT?" He paused for a breif moment before continuing. "THIS IS YOUR FAULT! YOU NEVER BOTHER TO LISTEN FOR ONE SECOND, TO ANYONE ELSE! WHEN I SAY LEAVE ME ALONE YOU NEVER DO! JUST THIS ONCE, GO AWAY!" She was taken by surprise for some reason and opened her mouth to reply but instantly stopped. "NO. OKAY!? IT'S.." He shook a little. "IT'S THAT, THING. I HATE IT! I HATE YOU!" He pointed at her and stopped for a moment. "I HATE THAT, I HATE EVERYTHING! JUST, FOR ONCE LISTEN, STAY OUT OF MY WAY! "

He pushed her out of the cave and flopped down in the corner again, glaring hotly as she poked her head through again "OUT!" He roared.

She stood out the front angrily, "Why is he so weird? About everything?" She murmered to herself. "It's  getting dark... " she huffed and whispered to herself madly. "If he wants to sleep in a cave, he can." She growled at the thought and stomped towards the small camp she had helped to set up not too long ago.
