Description "Why won't you just LEAVE?" Raahn barked at Leona.  She had been following him for days.  More than once he had cursed himself for getting in trouble and letting her save him.  That made it difficult to just kill her and get it over with.

"Because I like you." Leona smiled playfully.  THere was a dark mischief in her eyes to match her smile.  Raahn felt almost drawn to them, but caught himself.  It wasn't hard to remember how irritating she was.

"Listen.  I appreciate you saving my life and all, but I travel alone.  Go annoy someone else." Raahn snapped and turned around to leave.

He didn't get very far when his axe was suddenly taken out of his hands from behind him.  He turned back around furiously to see the girl holding it in her hands.

"This is heavy." She said.  "You must be pretty strong to carry it all the time.  Though it would make more sense to carry a lighter weapon.  One you can use with speed."

"I don't need speed." Raahn said as he reached for his axe.  "That axe has never let me down before."

Leona stepped back, swinging the axe out of his reach.  "Come on.  You can do better than this.  Axes are for chopping wood."

Raahn could feel his pulse in his temples as his irritation grew.  He leapt at her, the spikes on his back sticking straight out.  Savior or not, she would give the axe back one way or another.

Leona's gaze shifted from the axe to the Raymanian leaping for her.  THe mischeivous smile returned and she threw the axe to the ground.  Before Raahn even reached her she managed to throw him to the ground.  She pinned his torso to the ground with one boot and his hands as well for they were under him.

"You'll regret that!" Raahn cried as he struggled to get free.  

"Why don't you ever just ask for what you want?" Leona asked, heedless of his warning.

Raahn's response was lashing his tail out at her.  She caught it in midswipe without missing a beat.  "Come on." she smiled.  "You know you can't get away unless you humor me."

"Get off me so I can chop you like your 'wood'!"

"Wrong answer." Leona said.  "Maybe this will help."  With her free hand she reached past Raahns wing and dug her fingers into his side.

"Hey...what are you doing?" Raahn asked as he began to squirm.  "Stop that!" he said with laughter in his voice.

"Haven't you ever been tickled before?" Leona asked.  "You know how to make me stop.  You just gotta swallow your pride and do it.  Otherwise I can keep this up all day."

Raahn squirmed harder.  "You are the most irritating woman I have ever seen! What is wrong with you?"

"Still wrong answer." Leona said and moved her fingers up to his ribbs.

Raahn made no response through the laughing this time.  He merely laid there stubbornly and squirmed.  Leona sighed.  This wasn't getting anywhere.  She stopped tickling and grabbed one of the orange feathers of his wings.  

"Alright.  Here's how it's gonna be.  Swallow your pride and learn how to stop being an asshole or I'll pluck your feathers out."

Raahn struggled wildly.  "You let me go or I'll--"  Leona began to tug painfully on a feather, causing Raahn to wince. "Okay fine!"  His voice dropped.  "Will you let me up?"

"What's the magic word?" Leona asked, mischeivous tone still in her voice.

Raahn cringed.  How far would she go with this?  "Will you PLEASE let me up?" he asked.

Leona let go of the feather and the boot lifted from his back.  Raahn stood up and picked up his axe.

"I oughtta chop you in half for that?" he growled.  Without another word he walked off.  Smiling from her victory, Leona followed after him.
