"How is that hurtful, exactly?" Kyle asked with wonder.

"He's just prideful."

"Fine, whatever you say." She lightly raised her pale hands.

Kyle smirked. "There's obviously a reason for that as well."

"For a first meeting, this is certainly an interesting reunion," Corinne pointed out. "Especially between you two."

"That's exactly why I find it interesting. You're acting in a very familiar way. As if you already knew each other."

"Who are you calling Mr. Literal?" Kyle narrowed his eyes.

"Could you save the insults for later?" Corinne said. She had finished her meal a while ago, though she doubted either of her teammates had noticed.

"Later, as in, not now."

"She's kinda got a point." Kyle nodded in agreement with her. "What about we get going to see how we can get our first mission done?"

Corinne nodded back, a small smile on her lips. She stood up as well. "And?"

"I already paid." Kyle adjusted his belt and checked his sword. "Everything's ready for us to go!"

Kyle grinned at seeing his companion's enthusiasm. He also exited very quickly.

Corinne, on the other hand, sighed contentedly and walked out. But fast enough that she wouldn't get left behind.

"Okay, okay, chill a bit. It is exciting, but you don't need to act like that."

Corinne followed, arms crossed.

"I'm just not going to question that."

Kyle nodded. "Alright. Then, follow me!"

"My ears," Corinne joked, covering her ears as if the exclamation had hurt her.

She snickered. "More like the opposite, in fact."

Kyle just stopped walking and looked half confused and half miffed. "What did you just call me? What in the world is a... michezzy...?"
