"I don't know where that rusted old bag of bolts is, nor do I care, now can we focus on-" the Houndtrekker cut off abruptly, ears pricked. She could've sworn she had heard a string of profanities following the sound of clunking boots and clinking mechanical parts ascending a staircase of some sort.
With a turn of her head, this was proved correct, as a lanky human had scurried into the room carrying a bulging sack that smelled heavily of iron and oil, screaming another profanity at the group and insulting their intelligence. Quite frankly, the Houndtrekker didn't blame him, but that wasn't about to stop her from throwing shade right back at him.

It's not important. However, I would greatly appreciate it if you didn't alert every zombot from here to the poles with your loud accusations. Okay? Okay," not waiting for a response and answering for the new human, the Houndtrekker finally fell silent. After all, maybe she should let him at least state his purpose. Oh wait. He did. A selfish moron.
Ace narrowed her eyes, waiting for someone else to make the next move in the mere minutes they had before they were swarmed once more.
