1.8 - Smoke

In front of me, Nico seemed to be losing his mind.
"I'm good over here, so you guys don't need to check--"
"No, no, no. We're here simply to learn more."
Suddenly the tall glasses guy called Link cuts off Nico from talking and gives their reasoning. Jerry and Randy both agreed to that, and they are still keeping an eye on me.
"We just wanted to see what kind of girl has been getting you in trouble, that's all!"
Jerry said openly towards me, even though he was talking to Nico. Hearing his mockery, I became quite pissed.
"… Girl? Trouble?"
I repeated the key message that Jerry was trying to say, and Link quickly confirmed.
"That's right. Nick has been avoiding us recently! He wasn't like that before until he met you. Now, we're not possessive of Nick's behavior, so--"
"What the hell are you saying, dumbass--"
"Silence, peasant. The lawyer is speaking."
Jerry suddenly silenced Nico from talking, and Link bowed slightly at Jerry.
