Yeah, you could see why the others got so irritated at him, not that it bothered you much or at all really. His mention of an old man caused a soft snickering. You could only recall how often you'd been called such due to your unique features. "--Hehe, can't believe twenty-five is considered old these days," oh you could, given how the generation under your own always referred to those above twenty by such.
Peering through his thoughts, seeing the red head wonder about your angle was amusing to say the least. To at least one of the girls, yeah you wanted to be that over protective boyfriend, but you were nothing more than a close friend with a fractured past. The other, being your older sister, you were just curious given her own agenda and the people in her life. And then there was the guy by you himself. A trouble maker for sure given his reaction, most likely a prankster. You wanted to learn more.
Before you could voice your own musings, the barkeep slid you your earlier placed order. A strawberry daquri with choclate drizzle, extra strawberries, whipped cream, and vodka mixed in, taking a break from your usual given they were running low on ingredients. It did the job well enough. "--Ah, thanks,"
You pulled the long spoon sitting in your drink out, scooping a bite of it up idly as you returned to his questions, not wanting to reveal anything incriminating just yet. "--Oh, I don't know, enticed might not be the best word, it was more like homicidal. Ring a bell, or are you one to go around stinging people for kicks?"
You waved your hand in dismay at his offer, a little flustered at how quickly he turned that on you, "-- I'm curious, but not curious enough for anything more than chill vibes, ya get me?"
You finally brought the spoon to your mouth taking a bite to satiate your sweet tooth before asking one last question, "--Maybe if you told me your name, I'd be able to see if you are the one bothering my buddy or not."
