Ellie's eyes narrow, and she watches both the man and his dogs with suspicion. They can growl at her all they want, but she's not going to be intimidated. She's actually curious about the dogs, but it's not like that matters now. She's never going to be able to get in close to them now, no matter how fascinated she is by the fact that these dogs are perfectly healthy. Well, one of them is anyway. She doesn't know where the other one is, but it didn't exactly seem like a threat when she saw a glance of it running.
"Hey, you know what? Fuck you! If I wanted to hit one of the dogs, I would've!"
Her anger runs hot and is over in a flash, sizzling out to become complete exasperation. Why would he assume she doesn't have any aim? Is it because she's a kid, or because she's a girl? Either way, she's offended.
"I don't just go around throwing rocks. You're out late at night and your dog howling woke me up!" This of course, implies that they had scared her. She doesn't want to outright admit that, but she might as well at least hint at the fact the sound of his dog braying scared the shit out of her. She figures he probably won't believe her, that he'll underestimate her and assume she's not capable of having a reaction time fast enough to hear his dog and then hop up to hurl a rock at his leg.
"Look," she keeps on talking, a little more resigned to the fact that maybe tossing a rock was a dick move even if she still feels it was necessary. "I'm a kid, sure. But I've still got to protect myself. That was a warning shot. If I wanted to actually hurt you or hit your dog, I would've. You guys weren't ever in any danger. Got it? "
She anxiously curls her fingers around the bottom of her dark green scrubs, tugging at it. It's hard to go from always having to fight anything that moves in the dark to being part of a quiet village like this one. Maybe she's not going to be able to fit in here, since she can already imagine this dad looking asshole bringing everyone in town to throw rocks at her. At least maybe if they did it right and stoned her to death, she'd have a chance of seeing Joel again.
