Jace clenched onto her vest tightly, a few of the buttons popping off to reveal the revealing shirt underneath. He stared at it for a moment, not even registering that there was a half-naked woman before him. He was staring at her like a bear caught in a bear trap, looking murderous to escape. Kaye was Momentarily struck silent, actually frightened of this man which came very rare to her. She couldn't do nothing but stare into those hateful eyes and thought momentarily that he could indeed kill her at this moment without a second thought. "I take that as a direct threat, you know..." he muttered, realizing now just how scared she really was. He finally tossed her away from her. He had been known not to be above hitting a woman, but he knew she was only trying to help. he hoped, at least. Once she was released, she quickly scrambled away from Jace and hugged Basil, just to be near someone instead of Jace.
