@ONGIATELO โHey hey ! Calm down ! No pictures allowed during work hours ! โ
That and she's a little too embarrassed to be thinking about pictures. . . โ
before continuing
"I know you love a good fight and all, but this isn't the way to go at it. . . Just know i don't want to wake up to an empty spot by my side ok?"
It takes a moment, but the pink haired woman takes a deep breath, the red color on her face slowly going away as she calms down.
"Honestly. . . To think i had to get like this for you to finally listen. . ."
Thumb and index rested on her forehead, taking more deep breaths
โ
The tiger martial artist replied with their head hung low accompanied with a trembling tone...
โย I-I... will stop getting into fights in that case. โ
But it worked all the same, Noel achieved getting it through their head and making sure what it meant.
A deep breath
"Come back injured ONE MOREโTIME and that will be the LAST time you set foot on this store, UNDERSTOOD??"
Slamming the palm of her hand against the wooden counter, that combined with her voice made the few clients sitting away from the counter turn around startled
"Money is NOT an excuse to put your life on the line!"
That, in fact, did little to soften the incoming blow. Her face turning bright red from anger
"Put that strength to better use! I'm honestly tired of having to repeat myself. So I'll say this once, and ONLY once. . ."
โ
โย S-Sorry...โ
Orten wanted to say ใBut think about the serious cash! ใ but that'll send themselves straight into the ninth layer.
โ I just wanted to help with money income and all that, since y'know it does bring one mean baggage of money... hehe... eh..ย โ
"Yet."
Her voice was firm, her eyes locked onto her with a serious expression
"How long until you can't even make it back to my store? How long until one of these leaves you so beaten up i won't even be able to help you?"
Anger. . . but with a hint of sadness. . .
โ โ โ โ
Each time Orten had a bravado it was always popped like a bubble, drinking their coffee and taking another biteโboth brows raised accompanied by a myriad of blinks..
Gulp..
โ H-Hey, at least I come back without a broken bone, right? Cut me some credit here..๐งย โ
"The strongest says the one coming back with injuries that go through my small emergency medkits every time..."
Arms crossed, squinting at them while she slowly moves her head from side to side
โ โ โ โ
That small comment from earlier left the half-kin still embarrassed at the thought.. but hearing at the conversation was about their scrambles, Orten puffed their chest proudly.
โย But to be fair, I am the strongest there is y'know? Even if I play a little dirty ~! โ
โYes! Very much so, you know? I also find the fact that a bunch of people get together in god knows where to. . . Fight eachother to almost death kinda awfulโ
Chest resting on the counter, hand holding her head as her elbow also rested on top of the counter as a sigh leaves her
โ โ โ When it was served, Orten was already taking a few bites out of the sandwich, their appetite still as bottomless as ever.. however.
But as soon they were about take the coffee and take a swigโthey stopped halfway slowly growing pink in their cheeks..
โย A-Aha, really? โ
โEh... That is still too much in my opinion.โ
Taking her eyes off her, a few minutes go by as she moves around with surprising precision before putting a cup full of coffee next to her
โIt's a shame such a pretty face gets all screwed like that you know?โ
โ โ โ โ
โ โ โย What can I say? I'm a charmer if I say so myself ~โจ๏ธ. โ
Taking off their glasses the arms of it would clip onto the shirt as it hung before they seated themselves comfortably.
โย 'Sides a few bruises and a small wound of a busted lip? I'm all good!โ
