[FRAGGLEROCK.]

Cleopatra. The feline's presence immediately made Fragglerock shrink back, his ears pressing down against his skull slightly. Thankfully, such an action was difficult to notice, considering his ears were usually laying down anyways. Regardless, as much as he wanted to ignore Cleo's obviously antagonistic comment, he couldn't help but feel offended. As little as she actually cared about his independence and intelligence, he was actually in control of himself. He wasn't just some feral animal, driven by instincts. So, he replied in a bit of a harsh tone, tail twitching behind him, "Yes, I'm sure. I do have the ability to control myself, unlike you and your big mouth." He then seemed to pause, blinking at the words that had just left him. He usually wasn't so harsh, but Cleo's comments had really been getting under his skin. Not making him doubt himself, just... annoying him. He supposed he had finally snapped. Still, he had no desire to see how she would lash out back at him for his harsh words.

Wanting to get away before a scene broke out, the rabbit offered a quick flash of a smile to both Aesior and Vincent. He then bounced over towards the nearby bucket, grabbing it in his jaws and pulling it towards the nearby stream. His smaller size made the action a bit of a task, but that was just fine. Maybe it would help him build up a bit more muscle. Besides, Vincent had offered to help out as well, which meant that if he really needed some assistance, the other could provide. With a bit of effort, it wasn't long until he reached the stream, pushing the bucket over slightly so that the water could slowly fill it. As he waited for the bucket to be filled, his blue gaze drifted over towards Aesior and the others, simply watching. It was mostly a precaution, in case Cleopatra decided she was truly pissed off. The boy didn't think that Vincent and Aesior would let her hurt him, but... if she moved quickly enough, she could probably get a few hits in before either were able to react. That would probably be enough to severely injure or even kill Frag, considering his small size and youth. Hopefully, though, she would just take his snide comment in stride.
