"Bastian! 'ey, put me down right now, you big oaf!" she demanded. "Animal? A strugglin' animal! I'll show you!" She was definitely amused by his game, but there was always a part of Marie that had to be in control. Even when they were younger, Marie had tried to boss her brother around. As she traveled towards the smokehouse on her brother's shoulder, she was most certainly not in control. She considered bopping him on the head, but then her poor brother was hurt after all.<br/><br/>"Fine then, you can carry me," she said finally. "My feet could use a bit o' rest anyway, I s'pose!" She laughed, and then leaned in close. "You're such a show off, Bastian," she whispered into his ear, while flashing the two snickering boys a bright smile. "If your shoulder wasn't 'urt so bad, I'd so wrangle m'self free," she said, with a little laugh. "But I'll let you keep your dignity in front of the little men and all, seeing as how you 'urt yourself yesterday."<br/><br/>To the boys, and much louder, she called, "And this is not what the phrase 'sweeping a woman off 'er feet' refers to, boys. Poor Bastian 'as been having himself a bit o' trouble with the ladies, if you catch my meanin'. If this be any indication, 'e's helpless, he is! So don't be taking no tips from this one!" The ewes that she and Sebastian dragged behind them bleated just as she finished speaking, as if in agreement.
