"Oh you really ought not to be so grumpy," A clearly affable rathril murmured to his companion. "You know we were going to be up here and it was going to be cold. You chose this, remember? I suggested staying in town today!"
"Uh-huh you just wanted to gamble and that's really no fun for me either. You're terrible at dice and you're showing absolutely no signs of getting better!" This little snap was met with a chuckle and a slight shake of the head. The rathril turned his head slightly, so he could see the littel bugger on his back better.
"Oh hush. I won at least one more game than last time, and if that isn't a sign of improvement I don't know what is."
"Until you realize that means you won once and still lost money."
"You're just a pessimist"
"Maybe I am."
The little cat carefully turned himself around and put his chin in the air while the Rathril carried onwards.
