Shida was looking directly at Ghost, about to burst out with laughter from the blank expression on Ghost's face. He decided after trying to bond with him by telling him his own personal joke, he'd be better off picking on somebody else for the rest of the journey. Suddenly, his cigar seemed to flick right out from between his fingers, grazing the edge of his lip; it flew away jumping everything in it's path but a large puddle on the rocky floor of the cave. His face twisted in confusion, and his shaggy hair tickled the top of his forehead.. [i]"What in the..?"[/i] His eyes woke up from the possessed cigar. He then saw Aerilyn goggling in front of him, she was smiling but looking guilty at the same time, then her expression dimmed to a cheeky half smile.. "Sorry... I..." Shida looked at her for a moment; even more confused, and she turned and walked away. As he watched her walk off, his mind was completely blank in the first time farther back than he could remember. He turned back to look at Ghost, who was looking at him without a singular glimpse of emotion, much less shared curiosity, he almost seemed to be sighing.. He turned to look back at Aerilyn, [i]he then began to realize...[/i] After a momentary pause, Shida looked to the others around him, few of them were looking at him and chuckling among themselves. This only confirmed his suspicions, [i]That woman..[/i] Shida resonated, and began to grow somewhat frustrated. [i]I will definitely get her back after this..[/i] 

Shida abruptly left the company of the others exiting through the entrance of the cave, and then began walking at a normal pace. As he passed Cora and Aerilyn he pulled another cigar out of his jacket pocket. [i]That cigar was worth well over twenty-five dollars, damn her..[/i] He grumbled to himself as he glared at Aerilyn. As he lit his new cigar, he then began to mull over about ways that he could embarrass her, although most of the ways he ended up thinking of would only come off as very perverted he realized.. [i]I may have a problem..[/i] he said to himself.. ashamed at the lack of his imagination.
