"So if I were you I would get out of here well you can," the little ox-half breed warned us. He started to turn and walk away. I could tell he was putting up a little front, trying to come off as mean so that we would leave him alone and leave. But, I knew that he was just trying to help us.
"Wait!" I ran up to him.
He stopped and turned around, looking at me impatiently.

"Look, I tried, but your friend here didn't listen," the ox kid retorted.
"Guys, let's get out of here before we are caught," Dani suggested.
