“Are you kidding me?!” Garnet snapped. “Does your dick-smelling apartment make you feel the need to be one?”
Syloh half-snorted as he attempted not to laugh, but Ross was unperturbed. He pointed a finger at her, amused. “Look at you waving your claws at me. I honestly didn’t see that coming, what with you having conversations with your creepy, black cat and crying about your missing bag yesterday.” His eyes darted around. “I’m guessing you didn’t find it.”
“No thanks to your welcoming chivalry!”
Ross’s eyes narrowed. “Don’t you blame me for leaving your bag somewhere to get snatched, lady. What kind of moron does that?”
“So… you guys have obviously met, huh?” Syloh cut in awkwardly.
Garnet turned her glare on Syloh. “I should be going. If he’s the kind of person you hang out with, then there’s no reason to keep this conversation going.”
“Wait.. I’m guilty by association?”Â
“Women, bro.” Ross sympathized, rubbing the side of his eye irritably.Â
Garnet clenched her teeth, her eyes flashing fire in Ross’s direction. “Come on, Midna. Let’s go get you some food.”Â
“You see?” Ross waved his hand at her but looked to Syloh for confirmation. “Who talks to their pets like that?”
“Shut up, Ross.” Syloh whispered, then he turned to Garnet who was starting to head for the door. “Hey, listen Garnet, I see that you’re angry and my idiot friend is not really helping matters..” He gave Ross a warning look before continuing. “But if you change your mind, I work over at the Air Fair on the other side of the city. Stop by if you want. Friends can be pretty valuable when you’re just starting out in a new place.” With a nod goodbye, he grabbed his basket of clothes and headed out the door.Â
