"I heard a commotion--I came to see if you were alright." he says, looking up at her, then turning his head, "who was that?"

"No one important. And I'm fine. Really." She smiles, very unconvincingly.

Fire stares at her with the look "i'm not buying it." even so, he can't blame her--he's secretive too. he sighs, "suit yourself." waving it off....even so, for some odd reason he still feels a little frustrated. Like--he wanted her to confide in him---but he's not ready to pick fights right now, like he usually is.

She smiles sardonically at his comment. "Great. Emotional blackmail too." She pointedly looks at him, features hardened again. "Goodnight."

"HEY!" he wedges himself in the door so she can't shut it on him "just to get the record straight--YOU said it "wasn't important." What? Now you're giving me BS 'cuz I didn't 'respond correctly' or something? What did you want me to do--make tea and cookies, drag it out of you, and give you a pep talk? If you wanted something---you should say something!!!" riding the emotional hype....then cools down (I bet Fire had to have a LOT of training to keep himself cool for battle, hehehe) ".....what i meant wa--" fire is not much of a speaker, "I just figured you were the secretive type and didn't want to be bothered with it." (<---secretive, proud type = fire (and pry fala too) in a nutshell. )

She blinks a few times, not expecting the outburst. Then she smiles, kind of evilly, but a smile nonehteless. "So there actually is a person in there. Who'd have thought? Now let's get one thing straight. This..." She points at him. "Is what needs to happen. If you're going to be all unattached, this isn't going to work. We ended up in this situation, sure it was partly by chance, but mostly because you were the only person who didn't immediately tell me that they killed because they enjoyed it. That kid who I had to knock out because he was too stubborn to go quietly, the kid who made my little sister cry because she was being an idiot, the kid who just bitched me out because I took out my problems on him, that's the one we need to have around!"

Now it's fire's turn to blink in surprise. No one had EVER told him he could be the tempermental prat he is deep down inside. In fact, he had to have special training to make himself into a lifeless, emotionless, work-geared mannequin. There's a brief pause of uncomprehension in which he just stares at her like "what?" letting it sink in. "So...you ....actuallly want me to...." fire still has that look, except without meaning to, he's ended up smiling a bit. it's a rare and much celebrated occasion when he can be himself.
he quickly adds in before she can respond "You'll probably regret it-- I have to warn you."

"Yeah, I hate to break it to you, but you would never, ever, be able to pass as a Nomicutori as the wind-up robot you've been acting like. So, if you can't stop that, and judging by the stupid grin on your face, you can, I'm going to have to mind-wipe you!" She smiles, eyebrows raised expectantly. "SO are we going to do this the easy way or the hard way?"

"Ha! I've been trained in enduring all methods of torture---I doubt you could mind wipe me, but I'll give you the benefit of the doubt since not mind-wiping me would obviously be faster. "
he stops, "You know, you completely avoided the original topic? You never did answer my question about Mr. Unimportant."

"I said nothing about torture." Her smile fades. "I was hoping you wouldn't notice. Mr. Unimportant is the only person besides you who isn't a direct relative who knows what I'm doing. He's pretty much that "Less-trustworthy" guy you were so concerned about me running into."

"From the sounds of it, he already doesn't like me already....how do I manage to get so many enemies anyways? So, was he another assassin you let 'escape?' or just a previous, jealous boyfriend?" ending with a particular emphasis.

"No, the assassins I let escape have no clue... But I think ex-boyfriend would be the closest think to him... And the only reason he knows is because when we 'dated' I was living with the Nomicus.... Long story short: mind-control, angry parents, viscious breakup involving him getting his ass-kicked, life long plot for revenge and possibly marriage." She shudders.

"Revenge AND marriage--what an ambitious fellow," fire rolls his eyes, "so do all your would be boy friends have to endure getting their ass kicked by you in a most humiliating fashion? or am I just lucky to witness/hear about the few and happy times that you've been forced into that choice? "

She thinks for a second. "All of them. But it's a pretty biased score because there's only been one, really, and he's just an assho..." She seems to realize what she just said. "Ficui."

Fire smirks with the "O Rly?" look. Not that's he any better with his current score "hasn't been able to even get close enough to a girl to say "Hi' before she tries to make a mad dash for the door..." but it's not like he's going to tell HER that....
"That IS a pretty biased score I have to admit....one to nothing else."
