To say the least Zephyr was slightly surprised she had answered him at all, even if he was around ready to rip her head off that she was making jokes with him. Flinching at the box that almost hit his head and looked down at her with a raised eyebrow at her face he said<span style="color: DarkGreen">“Are you hitting on me? It kind of feels like your hitting on me.” <br/>
</span><br/>Finally getting up off her, this mistress Jade. Not in the slightest did he believe her story but he did very well at hiding it.<span style="color: DarkGreen"> “Well Jade, I don't think I'm going to have to tie you down again, unless you really can't control yourself, please you must refrain from showing such affection to me in public.” </span>His mock arrogance was mostly just a joke, poking fun at his earlier point of her hitting on him.<br/><br/>Idly as he spoke he pulled a loose dagger that was hanging from his shirt and had poked him enough to draw blood.<span style="color: DarkGreen">“Normally when girls go after my heart they don't do it literally” </span>Checking over a bruise he had was bound to get from something that had hit his cheek and a few cuts and scrapes the things she had thrown at him didn't leave that much of a mark, it looked like he had a run in with an angry pussy cat rather than a female thief.<span style="color: DarkGreen"> “ Don't take this as an insult but you really need to get better taste in underwear, if your going to flash them at every guy you meet getting a pair that has a face on it or a cool saying would be a smart choice.”</span><br/><br/>He turned his back on her and shrugged a little<span style="color: DarkGreen">“Here I'll show you to where everyone else is, no one should wonder who you are then.”</span>Though as his shoulder went down you could visible see the sag in them as the confident posture melt away into the sadness he was feeling before.<br/><br/>Thoughts of regret hung heavy on his mind but he didn't want this new girl to see so he hid it behind him hoping she wouldn't notice. Keeping however all his attention behind him to make sure the girl wasn't doing anything like stabbing him in the back.<br/><br/>Pulling roughly on the rope around her arm it came out of the box and pulled her up onto her feet before twirling around her wrist and swinging a few times around Zephyr's own hand.<span style="color: DarkGreen"> “Oh and be glad I used the thicker cord, or else you would have lost your arm.”</span><div class="messageTextEndMarker"> </div>
