What is she doing? I just got this jerk to shut up! "Guys, come on..." Lachlan said, though it was more of a sigh.
Wolfram looked up to see the newcomer. His pupils became normal, large and round, then snapped ack to thin slits. He eyed warily, letting out a half hearted hissing noise.
Oh no, please don't drag yourself into that... Camilla got up, trotting over to Bleddyn. "Well this is dramatic," She muttered to her friend.
My face didn't change, but a swear slipped out of my mouth. Anyone else would have stormed out of the restaurant already, but Idiot Kitty stood his ground. I could see the adrenaline in his eyes, and realized how he must be feeling, at least in part. I'd had something like that when my dog was killed. That feeling of just wanting to kill something. Anything. Needing an outlet for a kind of anger you've never felt before- burning hatred coupled with fear of your own emotions. He needed something to do with those emotions.
So, logically, I punched him.
Brisa gave a small intake of breath and looked away. "Man. Poor guy. This isn't going to end well."
"Delilah that's not helping the situation." Lachlan muttered, becoming more and more annoyed.
Wolfram opened his mouth to make another reply, when something he never expected happened. Pain erupted in his face, and he couldn't feel where he was punched. His head throbbed with pain, and he blinked darkness from his eyes. He throat tightened as he struggled to hold back tears."What the-"He stopped, pain grabbing his jaw like a rabid animal."Why?!"He gasped, his pupils flickering from human to cat repeatedly.
Bleddyn simply didn't see Camilla."Fight me, you idiot!" I said, not meaning a bit of it. I cared now, at least in part, but there was no way I was going to hug it out.
She stepped to Delilah's side and loomed over the cowering boy, imposing despite her relative shortness. "Alright, you've angered the owner's daughter, and caused pretty much an uproar." Unlike Delilah's, her voice rose steadily, not at all hindered by hesitation or regret. "You can keep flinching like a pathetic orphan puppy, fight her, or leave now." Her hand slammed down on his table, her fingers thrumming with the impatience fueled by habitual aggression.
