He nodded in agreement. Lifting weights only helped make his body strong but there would come a time when strength was not the answer nor available to him. That was why he read so much as well but she had only asked about how he looked. He had to be careful not to give out too much information so he didn't comment further on his other hobbies. He wondered how long it would be before the rumor that he was part of the Snakes got around to her. How would she react to that?<br/><br/>"Hey, I was right after all," he said with a laugh when she told him her name. "I bet your nickname is Belle. Well, that's French for beautiful. So, Beautiful, you're an only child? Living the spoiled life I take it? I have a younger sister myself but I haven't been home in a long time. I doubt she even wants to know me."<br/><br/>The comment that Annabelle was an only child cut Goose deeply. She refused to even acknowledge his existence or was that more of the bastard's influence? Mentaling shelving that thought, he realized that he needed to give her a name to call him. It was only courtesy after all.<br/><br/>"Oh, I'm Goose by the way," he told her. "You mean to tell me that you would rather have those groups of kids insulting you instead of having a nice talk with me? That cuts me to the quick, Beautiful."
