e a s y come, e a s y go

Thankfully, the gamer knew to keep it quick so the unexpected, awkward embrace barely lasted long enough for Paige to feel the immediate need to pry her off, though she was certainly counting the seconds. Brows knitting together in confusion after Corrine left, the junior would soon continue to travel elsewhere, marking the odd encounter among the list of things lately that just didn't need to be revisited for any reason.

"Yo." A mock salute offered, the junior gave a nod in thanks shortly after though she definitely had to think to recall just what it was Corrine was referring to. "Much appreciated, then."

"But it's also pretty irrelevant since I've no intention of getting kicked out after just getting back. Especially not over something like Jamie freaking out over the next big thing in his life. It's far too typical. Not to say I'm adverse to breaking a bone or two, but actual death is definitely off the table for the time being."

"Oh, right. I nearly forgot that was sort of her thing." At the explanation given, Paige appeared to simmer down somewhat, apparently figuring it a reasonable enough explanation in the end to justify a less violent solution. Well that, and the fact she actually liked the kid too much to punish him so severely. "If that's the case though, I may just settle for breaking a leg or something instead - he's actually adorable when he manages to pipe down. And I'd prefer not to rip his throat out."
