The duel between the faction leaders had started just like last time but the opponent capitulated without them even going through one exchange of blows.
"Wahhhh, leave me! You meanie cat. You steal my bed, and then you ignore me, and and…" Ainsley didn't use her baby talk anymore. She felt that it's useless in front of this cardboard lover.
