Standing up, Korie promptly walked towards Ian without even a trace of embarrassment across their face. Approaching Ian, Korie took their card back and immediately spat on the floor. “Forgive the reek breath, I thought you would have been accustomed to it considering you grew up in the slums like an orphaned rat after your family died,” spoke Korie as they stared directly into Ian’s eyes with a smile. With that statement alone, it was clear Korie knew Ian’s upbringing. “Knowledge is power and you’d do best to remember that.”

“Another thing, my gender is unimportant since we are all humans... and if you’re truly aiming to only get your carnal urges satiated look elsewhere, for I am uninterested and never will be. I’d also like it if you’d refrain from touching me again in such a manner, since once I become Squad Leader and if I see that you’re continuing to make trouble, I will kill you myself if I deem you a hindrance to the squad.”

“Oh, and Antwon,” Korie looked towards the one who casually ‘swatted’ them aside, “Do change that attitude and do at least try to at least put up a fight… so that you can at least be able to protect someone this time instead of leaving them to die,” they said with a clear indication of Antwon’s own past. Without another word Korie returned to their spot and put take out a container from their pocket. Opening it up, Korie took out one of the many small tubes with liquids in it, most likely mouthwash and rinsed their mouth before spitting into a nearby waste bin. It seems that this hasn’t been the first time that they’ve been kissed randomly by someone in order to get a response. Putting the tube back and closing the container, Korie sat back down and returned to their meal next to Takeo. “Your drink is going to get cold by the way,” murmured Korie as if the incident before was perfectly normal and had not even happened.
