Lupa saw the male from her corner, silently laughing at him. "I don't believe you.  And I didn't whimper, I was breathing." She didn't get out of her shadowed corner, but she looked at the male, assuming he wouldn't shoot her. "If you aim anything at me, though, I'll be more like screaming.  There are others here.  They would help me." Inside, she didn't actually believe her last statement, but she figured since he didn't know them, he'd believe it.
