"Such an icy maiden, she's gotta be pure and maidenly I bet!" The comment the first guy made had Nick grimace and grip on the broom's handle, while the second one spoke. "I insist, you come with us and you'll..." He reached out to grip Susan's arms. They were a hair's width away from a hammering when a broom handle slammed down against the second guy's arm reaching out towards Susan.<br/><br/>Nick had a frown on his face as he looked at the two of them. "Listen what she said, I don't want to have to wash blood off the floor and dont think we wouldn't dare, we could always pass it as a promo to horror movies we're setting out to rent." He spoke in an aggravated tone, watching the two guys a moment.<br/><br/>"Pfft, you think you can get in our way?" The first guy lifted a fist only to get a thrust to his stomach by the broom handle. Painful but not that damaging. "No, you handle yourself, finish your renting business nicely and come again later with a better attitude or dont come back at all alright?" Nick wasn't sure Susan would be pleased with him behaving this way at all but he tried to defuse a situation even when he was trying to keep it from exploding further.<br/><br/>With a growl the second guy finally nodded. "Alright, get us Star Trek VI, and we'll be out of here.." As he spoke Nick sighed with relief and nodded to Susan, returning to his work at sweeping the hallways. He didn't want to bother Susan anymore, instead observing from distance if the two of them left peacefully. It wasn't like they were friends, but Susan was his co-worker and that kind of harrassing behaviour had to be nipped in the bud or the two of them might become even worse.<br/><br/>Hopefully he hadn't managed to also get Susan riled up. He had heard she was a feminist at school, so he figured if she thought he didn't think she could handle herself, he'd be in for a lecture or a painful lesson later. For now, he focused on something else though, cleaning.
