His outburst didn't go unnoticed. Still, three months? It was after New Years then. Not that he lamented missing out on the mandatory holiday reuinions with the family, but that was one of his favorite holidays.
Neither did he miss their moments of hesitation. Even Jax would admit to the strangeness of the situation. They weren't far from the city, but with the weather like it was, nobody would last long without clothing. He fixed the girls with a look of coy dismission. "I said I got away, not that I was let go. I can tell introducing myself didn't elicit the shock and awe I was hoping for,"
his grin was teasing as he explained himself, "My family is rich and famous. I imagine piles of people would jump at the chance for ransom opportunities. But they didn't really explain their motivations to me, either way," he shrugged.
He had to diffuse any suspicion and stretching the truth was a perfectly acceptable strategy.
He glanced at Elias, who implied his introduction to the girls was quite the story. And the shiest of those girls went on a walk in the woods? His gaze swung back to Elyse, who had to be getting cold without her stuff, despite the fire. "You often take walks in the woods in winter by yourself? Don't you know there's dangerous people out there? Kidnappers to start?"
He pictured these three shitting themselves if one of Sora's naga giants slithered out of the river about then.
((Your chars ever think that maybe the snake images refer to the giant SNAKE TATTOO on his body? Seems obvious. hah))
