He'd been picking at the skin on his tattooed hands, rough patches from lifting and training when in his free time. Lost in thought on the days events, he hadn't entirely registered what she had said. It wasn't until he hears it again, the word father pulling him almost immediately from his mind. "What? What would that have to do with anything?" He questions, tone slightly irritated as he wondered what entirely she meant. If the others who had attempted to strong arm him with the deal was because of his father or with how he handled the situation. Either way, he felt he didn't need to be analyzed if that was the case. Shifting in his seat, he looks back down at his hands for a moment before they curled into tight fists. "I just think they were trying to one up me, thinking they could." He shrugged, putting out there the assumption and hope that it was about tonight and nothing else.
