Brie took a step back, preparing to leave.
“Better yet, you will teach yourself.” The woman opened her eyes suddenly.
“No.” Brie shook her head. Whatever this woman meant, Brie wanted no part.
The woman stared at her silently; a faint smile spread across her lips.
“Why?” Brie felt that her refusal had been ignored.
“Because, little child…”
Brie scowled.
The smiled disappeared. “That mouth of yours will only cause you more troubles, now be gone, little girl. Go, be with the others. If that is all you desire; then guise yourself as royalty and gorge yourself to illness.” She waved her hand dismissively.
Brie planted her feet. “I’m gonna stay right here.”
The woman turned, and folded herself once more, into the amorphous green blob that Brie had stumbled upon. “You will leave now.” She said matter-of-factly.
“Oh yeah? Why?”
“Because I said so.”
