"She's the one looking for trouble." Boudica's temper wasn't something just anyone could manage; she was simply unmovable.
Grendel immediately let go, though her expression turned serious, and her tone was no longer as gentle as before.
"The Lord had just lain down to rest. We shouldn't trouble him."
Grendel advised, and this sentence meant different things to different people.
Tiffany and the others had just heard that the Lord had been at the forefront of the expedition, cutting through brambles and thorns, and hadn't really rested since the mission began.
The Lord was exhausted, and they shouldn't make a big deal out of simple problems and cause him trouble.
To Boudica, however, it sounded more like a warning: the Lord was already resting; had she considered the consequences of waking him?
