[People keep making a fuss - even people she does not know well.

Is it something about her? Perhaps she really does look as though she needs assistance - perhaps her brother is not overprotective at all, but just the right amount of protective.

...nah, fuck that.]

I will remember that. Thank you, Guy. I mean that.

[He'll sit up enough from his bed to nod, the same low, formal movement he'd given her on the bus. She'd already thanked him three times in about as many minutes. He can take a bit of a hint.]

Anyway.

When you're feeling up to it, you should tell me more about that little spat you apparently had with Asch. I knew he was getting into trouble, but not that much trouble.

[she sighs



very




heavily]

Must I?

[menially]

You don't have to, no.

He's kind of a jerk, though. Not many people stand up to him like that.

[fishingforcompliments]

Why not?

He is frustrating, not frightening.

[menially]

Yeah, I agree. I think a lot of people just get fed up and walk away.

He'll get in fights, sure, but it's usually with other stubborn or hot-headed people itching for a brawl. You're pretty composed, so I guess I'm just surprised.

...

Well, I tried to walk away. [she sighs] But sometimes it is much easier said than done.

[menially]

Damn. He was that bad, huh.

Did he stop you, or just say something stupid enough for you to give him a piece of your mind?

[she makes a face]

He blocked the only exit and would not move. I gave him fair warning before I attempted to make him, but it seems he is very stubborn.
