ooc: Sorry Ark, if you get ignored a bit. Can we say your post came before my previous one? ('Never mind the mud, Arnie gave him a job' and so on)
Anni answered, "Kix and Dean are friends of mine. They're both mudokons. They're nice, and they know Somi. I've known Dean for ages and I met Kix when I came here." She started leading the way back downstairs.

Dionysia stared at Gappiqu for a few seconds, a look of disbelief on her face. She gritted her teeth and hissed slowly (in a strangely sliggish voice), "Are you insane?"
And then she exploded.
"DO YOU THINK I'M STUPID, KRIK? YOU THINK I'VE FORGOTTEN ALL ABOUT STIVIK AND WHAT HE DID TO ME AND I'D LET THAT ALL HAPPEN AGAIN?" Then she turned her wrath on Gappiqu, "HOW MANY TIMES HAVE I TOLD YOU THAT I DON'T WANT THIS? EVERY WORD I'VE SAID, YOU'VE IGNORED ALL OF IT?" She was aware that she was going crazy but it was like she had lost all control over herself, this was all flooding out and she had no way of stopping it. Deep down inside she was terrified as all control over her emotions vanished. Her senses were blinded with rage. She wanted to hurt something, badly.
She screamed at the top of her lungs and suddenly started running. She had no idea what direction she was going in, where she was headed. She wanted to run away, to keep going until her legs gave in and get far away from here, but it seemed whichever way she turned she was trapped between iron walls. So she kept running.
Krik, meanwhile, was suddenly she shaken by her outburst, and seemed frozen in place when she suddenly ran away, though he kept his eyes on that slig. The words 'Emotionally unstable prototype' were flashing across his mind in neon letters.
