Onyx saw his body tense, and instead of reacting kindly like she [i]should[/i] have, Onyx almost hissed her words at him. "Oh, seriously? Last time I dropped you, It was [u]on purpose[/u]. Are you doubting my strength?" A few seconds passed, and Onyx was able to calm down. She was sure she still looked a [i]little[/i] too angry at him, so she tried to lighten her expression. 

"Alright, I didn't think before I said that. Although I am a little miffed at you right now." Onyx flew up to a step quite a ways above Tarentek and landed there, turning to speak to him again. "I'll meet you at the top." As soon as she said it, she took off again, disappearing over the ridge at the top.
