"Gotta have somethin' to make up for havin' less money than me eh?" He asked with a sly grin taking his features. "I throw grander parties too." He added, which was  either great bragging rights or didn't really serve as bragging rights at all depending on your perspective. The fact was there was no pure-blood family that put more into their parties and gathers than the Balors did, and it was a fact that it had been a truth for generations. Aaric suspected quite heavily that it was entirely their penchant for parties that attracted Xual to be friends with him in the first place.<br/><br/>Aaric shrugged and he was told he'd be broken. "Perhaps, though a little abuse can be fun." He said. Xual went on to boast that he was the better duelist between the two of them. "Of course, any tactician worth his salt, keeps a accomplished duelist fer defense." He said with a light shrug, before pausing as a slick sly grin took his features. "Not always about lookin' fer a fight, I find me self in trouble plenty, somehow fella's get the sense I'm mockin' em. Can' imagine where they get tha' from." He said with a laugh. Aaric looked at the display as more of a<em>look</em>at me moment. A good way perhaps if you thought you were especially slick to make sure everyone was aware you fancied yourself someone deserving of the spotlight. Aaric viewed it as more of a Gryffindor move though, didn't know who you'd rub wrong on your first night with such antics. Did Hikaru know for sure if there was hazing? Aaric's bet was he never considered the prospect.<br/><br/>"See there it is again mate, so quick on the defensive, do I really come off as such a predator?" Aaric asked raising an eyebrow, his voice cool and amused. Not backing down or away from what he had said, even to Xual. "I didn' single her out I said the crop." He corrected. "Doesn't mean there aren' a couple standouts, she is a Cromwell after all eh?" he asked, as his eyes followed her. That glare she gave was incredibly alluring to him, he was aware there was malice behind it, but it wasn't directed at him, and even if it was what might break that malice?<br/><br/>"Lettin' ya know how she feels mate." Aaric replied turning his eyes from her to Xual. "Doesn' appear she is concerned with makin' friends, might need someone ta take the first step." He suggested with a raised eyebrow. First impressions were always tricky because many didn't put their best foot forward in spite of intentions. Nerves or expectations always got in the way, but the glare was very clearly a<em>stay away</em>glare and the fact she gave suggested to Aaric that anyone else who might approach her would get something similar. Then again there was something else, her posture was perfect, chin up, she carried herself with grace she was a noble woman. Quite a curious young woman, he was more than a little interested to discover just how little she'd like him.<br/><br/>"I don' approach every lass the same way," he replied with a light shrug. "Perhaps I'll see if there is somethin' more attractive than tha' glare of hers." He added, showing tell tale signs of his curiosity. There were two phases to Aaric, the immediate payoff and then the long phase. Aaric enjoyed intellect, enjoyed challenges, enjoyed taking his time to really get to know someone. "Don' look like much the cryin' type, though i expect she has a hot temper." He said, acknowledging that he had no intention of<em>hurting Xual's sister</em>, while at the same time also not backing away from the interest.<br/><br/>"Wonder if she fancies chess, I'm bored of beatin' you?" He asked turning his eyes towards Xual. "If she's out ta prove herself, I expect we'll see a little Cromwell Balor rivalry, she's not the only unloved pup of a pure-blood out ta prove her father wrong." He said letting his eyes turn to the Gryffindor table. Odd how similar the situations were, though in Aaric's case the entire family was disgusted with Eli, it seemed only Xual cared in his own.<br/>
