Heres the snippet:
I glare at him, “I didn’t make no damn deal with you. Now shut up, there are listening devices in here, and you’re going to get me trouble.” I end up snarling at him, and his face falls to a bored gaze. “Alright, alright! You don’t have to get so touchy…” he said, sitting back right.
“But…you are taking this little game a bit far, are you not?”
I look at him, “You mean the interrogation?”
“Ah, yes, that.”
I glare at him, “This isn’t a game, kid.” I say, and Aki shrugs, “Oh? It’s not? I thought it was that…or is it more…personal for you, given that I almost cut up your little girl friend?”
I snarl at him, “That did makes things notably more serious for me, yes. And, she’s not my girlfriend.” I snarl. But Aki gets a twinkle in his eye, “Oh? I meant girl friend, as in female friend. A platonic relation with a woman.” He snickers, “Or did you WISH she was your lover, and that’s why you got on the defensive?”
I growl at him, “You’re so immature.”
Aki laughed, “Maybe I am. Maybe I struggled with growing up after all, but your friend…the girl, Cordelia, was it?” he said, looking back at me, “Well, just know that she’ll never like me.” He said, smiling.
I look back confused, “What does that mean?”
He smiled, “Exactly what it sounded like. So, I would HIGHLY suggest you watch your back, your front and sides, your steps and above you if you desire to impress her, Mister Elric Imelda.” He said with a wink.
“Girls like her don’t come easy, you know.”
