"I..." For a moment he wasn't sure what to say. Between his surprise at her words and the temptation to look at her ass, Angel couldn't decide how to react. He recovered quickly; smoothly transitioning from gobsmacked to spirited in a matter of heartbeats. "Forgive me, I didn't realize ass-spots were as easy to scare off as hiccups." It was a weak attempt at humor, but it was all he could muster with so little forewarning. Her next couple of statements gave him a glimpse into exactly what kind of person he was conversing with. Every word out of her mouth so far had been laced with confident sass leading him to the impression that he was dealing with a very spirited person. With a hint of an amused smile on his lips, he said, "Sounds like my kind of scouting." Angelus nodded in response to her question. He saw no harm in telling her the truth. "I grew up here." Aerie, huh? It was a pretty name and it paired well with the beauty of its leader. "So far its been a pleasure, Peregrine. Can't say I've ever almost scared the spots off someone's ass before. My name's Angelus, but," a faint smile returned to his lips, "you can call me Angel." He paused a beat, then said, "You fought for your pack, didn't you?" |
