An excessive amount even, should that be what you wish." Carrot, meet stick. At least she knew one way to get the more abrasive of the duality to work with her, if needs be. Elise watched and listened as Angelo did his 'thing', earning the ire of Bri. A more than appropriate response from her, if Elise had to be honest. If she were less of a controlled girl, she would have likely acted in the same way to Angelo. Amusing, none the less. "That's the first hurdle we must leap, Bri.
