♫ Isabella and Bullet ☠
Phoenix Wing's unstoppable duo!♫ @Zarkun ☠Bullet finished paying for his squid while Jane insisted on paying for her own food. The young man shrugged, not feeling particularly offended by having his offer turned down. The man working the stall skewered the fresh squid, searing it against the flames of the charcoal grill. Meanwhile Isabella's curiosity had been sparked by Jane's comment about her parents.
"
Proving their innocence? It sounds like you've been busy." She was trying not to sound too pushy, but it was clear that she wanted to know more. She was about to move closer to appear more inviting, when Bullet's voice spoke up from behind.
"
Were they really innocent though?"
"
Bullet!" Isabella thought he hadn't been paying attention to Jane, but regardless she was still mortified by his completely insensitive tone. The chef handed Bullet the two skewers, but when he turned around to offer one to Isabella he was met only with her scornful glare.
"
I was just asking. Besides, I don't think Jane really gives a damn about our opinion on her parents; who we've never even met." Isabella snatched her squid from Bullet's grasp before taking a large, frustrated bite.
"
That is not the point," She spoke between chews, covering her mouth with her spare hand while she talked. Swallowing, Isabella turned to Jane with an apologetic expression. "
Bullet doesn't think before he speaks sometimes. Pay him no mind if he comes off as rude." Bullet stared down at his feet, furious with Isabella treating him like some kid. In the back of his mind he knew that he was just letting jealousy get the best of him, but at this point he hardly cared.
"
What should we do once we've eaten? The night is young, after all." Isabella gazed around the square looking for anything exciting to participate in. Though it seemed as if the grandeur of the rest day was starting to fade. Perhaps it would have been a good idea to retire to the hotel. Though Isabella dared not mention such a thing; she was having too much fun with Bullet and Jane to just let the day end here.
