"Can I come?"
Micah, Baldas, Rego, and Art looked at Tineya after she asked that question. Then, everyone except Micah looked at him.
"I think we'll hold off on that for a bit. Don't want to bring along a ticking time bomb when meeting a sensitive fellow like Pride."
"Hey, I'm not a ticking time bomb! I might be the bomb, but I'm not dangerous."
Tineya pouted at both the rejection and the diss.
"That's for sure."
Tineya glared at Art after his snarky comment. Art just shrugged and dared her to do anything. Tineya happily took the bait.
"You and me. Right now. Let's go."
Tineya pointed at her and Art and then at the stage where the second-rank employees and the two third-rank clerks were in the middle of cleaning the blood from Chris' fights.
"Sure."
Art unfurled his crossed arms and stopped leaning against the wall as he stared down Tineya, who, despite being significantly shorter than him, was undaunted.
