He pauses his own teasing for a bit and looks serious "<strong>There is nothing wrong with being prepared, part of that is being aware. That is not paranoia</strong>" he said before draining the rest of the beer in his hand.<br/><br/>He looked over his shoulder while she snuggled up, seeing the nearest trash can and lobbed the bottle. A satisfying crash let him know he hit the mark. He nodded though at her words about Alex. "Yea, you lot have grown up nicely. It's a little hard to put the fact that most of ya'll were half my height when I first got here.[/b]" he said chuckling a bit.<br/><br/>He looked at her sidelong at this point and let out a mischievous grin "<strong>Though, I'd say you lot are all grown up at this point.</strong>" He took that moment to slide his thumb slowly further up under her front till most of his hand disappeared. He gave a small teasing scrape along her skin with his fingernails.<br/><br/>He watched and waited a bit for her to open her mouth again before he cut her off with a quick lock of the lips.
