She shook her head, wondering if perhaps it might be a good idea to invest in some self defense lessons. She gave a small smile and said [color=f6989d]"Well, if you wanted to dance, all you had to do was ask, but I'm terribly clumsy and my knee might just slip...into a delicate area"[/color] Where was this boldness coming from, this bawrdy sentance? It wasn't merely anger at the situation, at once more perceived power and station being more important then being nice. It wasn't just that not even a month ago, she wouldn't have even been an ant on someone like Chiyo's radar. Or maybe it was. She let her smile grow, and said [color=f6989d]"Did Chiyo hire you after the other day? Well, it wouldn't be the way I'd go to deter people thinking I was weak, but then what do I know? I don't need a body guard"[/color] Glancing about at the punch, Cassandra curled her hands into fists. How could people just stand there, and watch someone be abused, be attacked like that, for a simple accident? But someone did. The boy stepped in, and Cassandra watched as he moved past the bodyguard, and stood up for Itsuko. [color=f6989d]"Not to mention the security cameras...won't the offical's just like the good show you've given them, I can practically see the headlines now, "Chiyo resorts to violence like a no good hoodlem over a spilt drink!" or maybe "Chiyo cares more about clothes then the citizens of this city". Wouldn't that reflect nicely on Mommy? You know, if you've done damage to her, the medical staff will want to know how...and I'll tell them, if she doesn't"[/color] Cassandra didn't care that she was threatening Chiyo. Things would change, if people just let them happen. Darting around the body guard, Cassandra quickly grabbed Itsuko, carefully. And it seemed like it was only the boy who was stepping in. Had people become so accostumed to this sort of thing, to the lessons Deep ground taught them, that they just didn't care about each other anymore? Was life all about success now? Had it always been this way? Maybe that was what made Cassandra go to Itsuko's rescue to begin with. [color=f6989d]"Are you okay?"[/color] She asked Itsuko, concerned.
