Lucid started laughing when Koyaani cried out. It was a full-stomached laugh, because the look on the visible part of Koyaani's face was half shocked and half pissed off. "Dude, of course I was serious, I could buy like four bags of Jelly Bellies with ten dollars." He said once he'd gathered his breath back. Mercy was staring at him with something akin to shock, and Lucid realized this was one of the first times he'd laughed in front of her. Lightbulb looked more scared than shocked, and his [url=http://fc03.deviantart.net/fs70/f/2010/223/9/2/glowing_witch_by_zalphotography.jpg]recruit[/url] just stood to the side, looking extremely confused. With those two both looking over Crystalden, Lucid had to wonder if there was even darkness during the nighttime. Must be hell for the civilians.

"I never agreed to that." Mercy finally settled with saying. Lucid turned back on her.

"You agreed to it as soon as you sent Koyaani after me when I left yesterday." He answered simply. "Face it, Merce, the only way to get me to stop bugging you about it is to give me the ten bucks." He added, holding his hand out. After a short pause-and Mercy looking at Koyaani's injured shoulder-, a ten dollar bill was roughly slapped into the waiting hand.

"Just get to training you little prick."

"Yes Ma'am, Mercy Ma'am!" Lucid mock saluted, stuffing the money in his pocket. Once Mercy left the room, he turned to Lightbulb and his Recruit. "What do you say, you wanna do a 2 on 2 fight, Lightbulb?"

"It's [i]Irradiate[/i]!"

"Whatever."
