Her chips tasted amazing enough that she was pretty sure she devoured half of the bag already. When she did look up, she startled and almost shrieked, and definitely jumped a little. She wasn't expecting to see a man in the frame of the hallway, let alone a handsome one. A really handsome one. There was that feeling again, at the back of her neck, that subtle pulling--nagging at her thoughts. The chip bag was slowly set down on the counter as Arianna spoke: "I didn't hear anyone come in... are you... here for one of the girls?" she asked a bit nervously. Not entirely sure at why she was nervous.<br/></blockquote><div class="quotefooter"><div class="botslice_quote"></div></div><br/>The leather-clad man raised his eyebrows sympathetically when the girl in front of him jumped. "I'm sorry... I didn't mean to startle you." He said honestly, his voice like honey. Her mannerisms were adorable, he had to admit.  But even now that he was able to hear her lovely voice, he wasn't quite ready to fall in line and behave like she was the end all and be all of desire for him. He gave that same confident smile again and cocked his head to the side as she spoke. "You could say that... perhaps..." he responded to her question slyly, sauntering over to boldly snag one of the chips from her bag. He'd never been exposed to such food before, potatoes were a rarity where he came from. He found himself rolling the bits around on his tongue for several moments to completely take in the complexity of its flavor.<br/><br/>"Mmm..." He responded,  nodding his head in approval. "Salty... Interesting... I like it." Salt was a bad idea in the ancient desert. But one quick glance to the side window gave him a full view of the large body of water out in the distance. He wasn't quite certain as to what all of the modern luxuries were, but he had been made familiar with a few of them in the past. He moved into her personal space, leaning onto the countertops close to her. Taking in her dirty clothes and unkempt hair, he couldn't help but smirk. He kept his eyes on her face, trying to discern her thoughts.
