“I didn’t build it,” he muttered. If he could build anything he would include better exits. Maybe some little stairs. He definitely wouldn’t let nasty girls that threw stones and attracted rats in. “And you could not eat me! I am very, very poisonous! And fast!”
He crawled towards her a foot or two just to prove that she wasn’t the boss of him. It was halfhearted though. He wasn’t especially certain he what he wanted to do. Make her stay over there, mostly, so she couldn’t try and eat him or anything. Maybe if some rats DID get in, maybe that meant there was a hole….although it was a slim hope that he could fit through the same tunnels they could. He wasn’t That small.
He was almost deciding to maybe not try and scare her more, and possibly gain an ally instead. But then she started speculating on what he was. Very wrongly.
“A dragon?” He said, dropping to the ground and climbing up onto a chuck of stone from the floor above, so he could glare at her better. “I am not a dragon! And I am definitely not a baby!!!”
He stood, bristling with indignation. As if he was anything so ignoble as those hulking brutes? Not that he’d ever met a dragon, but he imagined they must be awful. He was from a much nobler heritage, even if we was a terrible example of the species. And a baby! Just because he couldn’t loom properly. How very mortifying...No, infuriating!
If he were a proper Basilisk she would be stone herself right now. That would teach her.
