When Catiel heard the sound of footsteps, she stopped looking skyward. Great, a human. He's probably just passing by, maybe if she ignores him he'll leave her alone. That possibility was laughed at and soundly pounded into mulch when he started walking [I]towards[/I] her, and started up a conversation. 'Let the torture begin,' she thought to herself sardonically. "I was [I]hoping[/I] to have some peace, but it seems you humans have to ruin even that," she replied, giving him a look filled with disdain. Why would she show this human any respect? Most humans his age just saw her as a bulls-eye to shoot torment at as if they were arrows. The sad thing is, she didn't even know [I]why[/I] they were so cruel to her. All she knew was that they hated her, and so she'll return the favor.
