Blane looked at him. Just smiling at her. "I never said you couldn't do that." He countered with a playful grin. "You aren't paying attention if you only hear half of the things I say." He pointed out. "It looked more like you weren't even listening than you didn't know what to say. But alas...the workings of the female deeds are quite the complex subject. Perhaps I am just reading it the way a man would read it." He said. Grinning quite impishly for a moment. He laughed a bit at the way she was acting. She was as fiesty as ever. It was highly amusing to him. "They aren't annoying. You just don't like how they affect you." He then went serious. Completely out of character for him. "You don't want me to say your name correctly." He said in a mysterious and almost seductive way. "Bella..." He said again with a playful smile.<br/><br/>He looked at her blue eyes. Beautiful shade of blue in his opinion but hey...what did he know? He couldn't completely read her right now but he was up to the challenge of puzzling it out. He could tell she didn't trust him. That honestly stung a bit. He yawned again and then spoke. "<br/>No domanda che mi pongo Ã¨ banale. Si adatta sempre uno scopo che non devo rivelare il mio segreto mano di carte appena ancora ... bellissima." (No question I ask is trivial. It always suits a purpose that I don't have to reveal my secret hand of cards just yet...beautiful.) He looked at her questioning look. His smile there yet at the same time almost looked serious. "Non chiedo domande senza senso." (I don't ask meaningless questions.)<br/><br/>Her next comments sounded like she was mood swinging and ripping his head off with words. How amusing. Had he riled her up just by asking her favorite type of flower. "Why wouldn't you answer a small talk question? Not like it would hurt you to do so." He said in a counter challenge sort of way. He arched an eyebrow. Oh? Did she really just go there? Did she really just challenge him on that next level? She technically had only agreed with the fact it was a challenge. This was the first time she had said it in her own words. He would accept her challenge. Before she would be able to react he reached forwards and captured his hand in his. Tugging her hand in a way she twirled back into his arms tango style. He stood there holding her. One arm around her waist. The other holding her like he was about to tango with her. He leaned forward and whispered into her ear. "Accetto la tua bella sfida." (I accept your challenge beautiful.)<br/><br/>He heard the sounds of other slayers returning and delicately spun her away so she landed in the pile of soft pillows behind her. Launching himself up into the banisters. Running across them silently as other slayers came in. Back flipping up into the loft and laid down. It was time for sleep apparently.
