The corner of his mouth twitched at the sound of her abrasive tone. It was always refreshing to come across someone else with bite. A verbal spar, a game of wits, whatever you wanted to call it, kept things interesting. Kept the grating sense of stagnation at bay, at any rate. With her fiery rose-hued optics and viper tongue, she definitely didn't strike him as mundane.

Mirroring each step this stranger took toward him, he raised his chin. Bright orange eyes bore into hers. They glittered, daring her to look away, to break first. She may be taller but was her will stronger? Who could say?
"I've never seen you before. That makes you new to me," he clarified smugly. Once upon a time, he'd been told that he could be a bit of a smart-ass. Surely that didn't apply now. He was the epitome of politeness, he was.
