"Well, I can't see her or her family arrive here yet, so it's not time for me to clock in to work. Isn't that right?" She winked at him.
He pulled his head away, then gazed down at her with a look that seemed to say he had just seen a creature with a similar mind.
He moved his plump lips, then chuckled, "You're right."
"So, this still counts as my first chance, not my second. You acknowledge that, right?"
"Alright. It's still your first chance."
"Yes!" She pulls up her fist in celebration, failing to notice Sharx smiling.
The people who had been subtly watching the interaction between the two in order to find an opening to show their faces to Sharx slowly turned their bodies in the other direction upon receiving his frosty gaze.
It was a friendly warning coming from the beast. Werewolves and humans in the crowd could also catch his warning with their instincts.
