She held her hands up in defense, still visibly tense and wary. "Oh please. If I was going to cause trouble, I would have brought some guards. I've been on my best behavior."

“Shopping? Really?” His voice held distrust in the upward questions he proposed, tilting his head. Of course he would be ready to strike if need be but his haki didn’t indicate the need quite yet.

Oh hey. She woke up from a nap. What did she miss?

Tired blink-

He was being cheeky. As if he didn't feel fair. She was intrigued. "You're awfully confident. How do you know whether or not I have guards who could stop you before you try?"

🔫 begone, foul beast

😏

She studied him for a moment before shrugging. "I suppose I can grant you that this once. But only if you promise to answer my question properly."

"You love being vague, don't you? Answering questions with questions of your own."

"Let's try reowrding my question, shall we? Would you actually break my neck or are you just teasing me? Because I have no interest in someone who doesn't have the guts."

"Oh? Well now we're getting somewhere. Are you all talk or a man of action?"

"Only when I'm bored. It's the job of the commoners to entertain someone of my status, after all."

"Do you usually disrupt people in this manner? One might consider that to be rude."

"An animal is still an animal," she mused. "How do I know that this isn't an attempt to poison me?"

"You're grasping at straws now. Besides, a good boy says 'woof', not question what I say."

"Well you're no fun."

"If you intend on making noise, at least speak something useful."

Tempted to make a ruckus.

[Meditating on the timeline.]

She reached up, stroking just under his chin with her finger, her tone playful and condescending. "You're funny. As if I'd let a dog into my bed."

"Now you're certainly flirting. You're trying to get under my skin."

"You're quite mouthy for someone who doesn't care."

"The delusional one is the little boy who thinks he can talk to me this was and not be punished."

"Well that certainly isn't helping your case right now. With how you jumped in unprovoked, I wasn't sure if you were trying to fight me or flirt with me."

"Do you talk to all girls like this? Or am I special?"

"Oh, but you do. Otherwise you wouldn't be here arguing with me."

"It's adorable how you think your words can harm me."

"I didn't realize you were looking in a mirror. I mean, honestly. Your shirt isn't even mulberry silk."

"I'm someone who could have your entire existence wiped out simply for looking at me."

//I'm waiting for an interaction where someone goes to kill Aine

"Of course it's good for me. It means I can forget your existence that much faster." Sips tea.

The red one, however, is boring because he didn't join in.

Anyway. He didn't hesitate to play her petty game. He's earned her respect.

Ew. A man who wears 𝘴𝘲𝘶𝘦𝘢𝘬𝘺 𝘴𝘩𝘰𝘦𝘴.

<-- Loves starting petty arguments with people who could easily kill her
