"I seriously doubt that."
*Genghis held her higher, out further from his body.*
"Tell me. Otherwise you will end up boiled for supper tonight."

*Genghis gave a deep, menacing chuckle.*
"Ah...but that's how we like them. Keeps us ready ill-tempered and ready for battle."
((Genghis - Worst. Dad. Ever.))

*Ruby stopped fighting for a moment.*
"...do you like sour gummies?" *she asked, cocking her head to one side.* "They're my favourite."

*Genghis sighed heavily. So maybe this tactic wasn't going to work after all. How unfortunate. But he couldn't leave her running about. So he turned and started back to his tent, still holding her in front of him like some vermin.*
"No. I don't."

"Hey! Let me go! I'll leave! I promise!" *she said, suddenly realizing that being taken into the stranger's home was a step in a very wrong direction.*

"No, no..."
*Genghis began, sounding quite thoughtful.*
"I'm afraid it's too late for that. You're mother won't miss you anyways, right?"
*He had to make sure that she was scared enough to not return.*

"I...I don't know..." *she said quietly, tears beginning to spill down her cheeks. Mummy had been so mad about the plate...*

*Ugh. Crying? Why did they have to do that? Genghis paused, looking her hard in the face. Mayve this was enough.*
"Hmm...perhaps....well, if I let you go, do you swear to return home immediately and never..."
*He stopped mid-thought. Her eyes...they were so familiar. The color fled his face in recognition, the word faint on his lips.*
"Emily."

*Ruby just stared at him blankly, sniffling and nodding.*
"I'll never bug you again, Mister."

"Child...your mother...was she...is she..."

"She's gonna KILL YOU!" *shouted Ruby, twisting out of his relaxed grip and hitting the ground running, disappearing back into the woods and fleeing along the twisting, narrow path that led back to the garden and the cottage.*

*It took Genghis a moment to realize what had happened. Then he started out after her.*
