At Eachother's Throats [PRP]

Nienna looked down at herself, all clean and bright again, and then back at the boy. "Thank you. You are the handy one to have around...would you perchance be interested in offering your services to a goddess?" She smiled as sweetly as possible. That one would be a good ally to have...

"Uhhh," Maguire stammered. She was reminding him of the time Nessa smiled at him before trying to turn him into a toad. "See you later, Glitch." Maguire took off running.

Glitch shrugged at Nienna. "Maguire is kind of scared of girls."  

[sunchaser9000]

"So I noticed. Did his big brother teach him that?"  

[IsisMagic]

"Nah, Murtaugh's not afraid of anything," Glitch said.  

[sunchaser9000]

"I meant you." She rolled her eyes at him, playing a bit.  

[IsisMagic]

Glitch blinked. "I'm not afraid of girls. Just little sisters." He nodded. "There's a difference."  

[sunchaser9000]

"Maybe you should be more afraid of girls."  

[IsisMagic]

Glitch shook his head. "Nah. We're not supposed to be afraid of girls. We're supposed to protect them, keep them from crying. And, according to my dad, save them when they get too stupid to save themselves."  

[sunchaser9000]

"Girls are never too stupid to not save themselves."  

[IsisMagic]

"Well, my mom was totally surrounded by the Wizard's Guards, and like, no hope to be seen, right? So my dad swings in and kicks some guard ahhh ---" Glitch remembered what his mom told him about being a gentleman " --- butt and saves Mom. Who was stupid for letting herself get trapped like that. I'm sure you'd never fall into a trap, though," Glitch said.  

[sunchaser9000]

"I would never put myself in such a situation." She sneered at the thought. "No one will ever have to rescue me."  

[IsisMagic]

"Good," Glitch said, smiling. Now that she was being nice, Nienna was actually . . . really pretty.  

[sunchaser9000]

She laughed, "Not like anyone would ever care."  

[IsisMagic]

"I'd care," Glitch blurted.  

[sunchaser9000]

Nienna blinked, "What?"
