"I never implied that you were prying," S'kef replied, though he was having a hard time not suspecting as much now that she'd brought it up! That didn't make the evasiveness any more annoying, either. He eyed the girl, suddenly suspicious of her motives, and adjusted himself in his seat to make himself more comfortable. Should he call her out on what he felt was an obvious lie, or let it go and leave her to drown in the damn awkwardness?
He was probably over-thinking it. It wasn't like he was dealing with B'run or some other would-be rebel leader...it was just some girl. He thought she looked distantly familiar, but after so many monotonous turns in this jungle, he was sure to have bumped into her at least once, if only in passing. If she was a spy, she was the worst spy in the world...But he couldn't get over how strange it was for someone to approach him like this, with such tentative evasiveness and...he couldn't even put a word to it.
"Nothing, huh?" he said at length, his suspicion audible in his tone, though not exactly heavy-handed. No need to waste his time. He shrugged at her. "Suit yourself, then."
He had every intention of getting up to move on, but Flit had other plans. Her bonded was frustrated with this girl and that just wouldn't do! Without any warning, the little green hissed and threw herself towards Arddra, hopping wildly across the table and snapping at her. It was more a display of dominance than an actual attack, but she made an awful lot of noise for such a small little lady. She screeched, plowing right over the girl's plate and heading right for her face. S'kef's eyes widened and he turned around to strike the table. Flit squeaked in embarrassment and froze in place.
"Flit, you bitch!" he screamed, though most of the surrounding tables only heard the last part.
