"I'M NOT CRYING!" she yelled, still driving the seagulls away. It was a loosing battle, and when she finally turned to look at him, one of them was setting itself quite comfortably in her hair. "Ow! Don't try to pull it out, you stupid bird." The girl did tense up when Komali mentioned the dreams, as hers hadn't been all that fun either. Lash finally just plopped down next to him, crossing her arms. There was no way he was getting the last word.

"I might not be your mom, but at least I know it's stupid to cry."
