"Save it, would you? I've heard this self-gratifying speech before. In the end, all it means is that you're old as dirt."
A low, hissing growl bubbled in her throat. For a moment, she crotched low to the earth, prepared to fling herself at this insolent Yonyuu's throat.But she held herself in check, despite her better instincts to simply rip out his throat.
