The words left her lips easily and nonchalantly, aggravating the masked man that held her in her place as the grip he held on her wrists tightened slightly. A slight wince escaped her throat, but she still opened her mouth again, "Long time no see."

A threatening hum was the only reply she got, making Eris' smirk falter ever so slightly. She then realised that the cap that was placed on her brown hair was starting to slip sideways. To try and revert this process, she tried to reach up with her hands to fix it, only for her to realise they were still very much being pinned down by the man in front of her. She struggled against the grip for a few seconds before giving up as it obviously wasn't helping. The movement only made the blue cap slide off of her straight hair faster.

She craned her neck, leaning her head to the left in a last effort to keep the hat on her head, not even acknowledging the position she was in.

That was until the cap was smacked off her head aggressively, and Eris watched the object fall to the ground "Fucking stop it."

Annoyance was weaved through the small but intimidating sentence, making Eris snap her head back to face the mask again. A scowl grew present on her features.

She started thrashing in her place, trying to shove Dream off, but she couldn't do much as he still had a firm grip on her left wrist. That's when she realised he only held one, her right one. Without thinking she pulled back her hand forming it into fist before punching the masked man in the face, right where his cheek would be.

His head flung sideways slightly, but didn't seem too bothered as he immediately snapped his head back and threw Eris back against the tree harshly.

The brunette yelled out in pain, before Dream picked her up by her collar and trapped her between the tree and himself.

They were almost at eye level now, but Eris' feet now dangled above the ground, helplessly flaying around the Dream's death grip.

"You done?" He asked sharply, not moving an inch against Eris' endless thrashing.

The words shot a wave of frustration through her body, triggering a foolish response, "No."

The brunette regretted it instantly as she was pushed into the tree again, earning a pained wince. Her common sense seemed to wash over and she stilled in Dream's grip. Looking at the black dots daringly. She wasn't going to get anywhere if she kept aggravating the man in front of her. She needed to get back to Tommy, to L'Manberg.

"Finally." Dream sighed, relieved by the fact she finally stopped struggling. He let his grip on her falter slightly, but only slightly, before speaking up again, "You set Sapnap's house on fire."

"No, I did not." Eris replied nonchalantly, maybe a bit too quickly.

"Yes you did, you fucking bitch!" another voice shouted.

Eris looked to her right, well as far as Dream's grip allowed her to, and saw an absolutely furious Sapnap make his way over to where she was hovering above the ground.

Before she could reply, a fist connected with her jaw. The grip that was previously held on her had faltered due to the sudden and harsh movement, making her drop to the ground.

Eris found herself falling face first against the harsh forest floor, a slight daze overtaking her head caused by the punch. It took her a moment before she could recollect herself, ignoring the intense pain she felt in her jaw.
