"Who are you trying to hide from?"
If Mares could not realize Muten was attempting to avoid someone, he might as well just take his brain out of his skull and throw it away.
"Don't worry about it."
And Muten did not even try to say his friend was wrong.
"Are you in debt? Or you stole from someone again?"
The silver-eyed thought about it and that was the only reason he could imagine Muten acting as he was.
Muten straightened his back as he responded.
"I didn't steal from anyone here, ok? What type of reputation do you think I have?"
Mares raised one eyebrow, challenging the gambler to prove him wrong, making Muten cough and change the topic.
"I besides, I don't get into debt, I put others in debt."
Muten emphasized, as if what Mares had said before greatly offended him.
