he looks up from the steak to watch tucker POUT. watches him crawl under the table, too, & he becomes a little frustrated. so easy to upset ! of course the right thing to do is to APOLOGIZE, correct ? make it all better ? fix his wounded feelings. part of him wants to tease tucker. MAKE HIM FEEL WORSE. bully. but rudi’s a little bigger than that– at least, at this moment he is.
“ tuckahhhh, “ he GROANS. continues to eat the meat, slowly, leg reaching out to give the boy a NUDGE with his foot. “ i ain’t mean it. GET UP HERE. “
siren makes a throaty noises, tugging at dusty socks. he ignores the light kick, scoots away which is hard considering rudi’s long legs. hisses a little. he likes hiding, used to it, spent his entire life in dark, tight spaces because of mean people. tucker wants to be away from the man right now, thinks he might get angry and kick him for real. so quickly slithers out of the kitchen in a split second.
what he’ll do is … go find mary. likes to mess with girls, TERRORIZE them, makes him feel better about himself.
