Ethel looked almost bored at the sight of a somersault right into bridal carry, raising an eyebrow whilst wondering if those theatrics were necessary in the first place. Shinrei looked positively furious, though Ethel hadn't immediately noticed due to her looking at Hayate with a cruel smile. Once Shinrei[i] did[/i] reply to the rather vague question, they talked about something else entirely. Ethel even giggled a little at the insult he decided to throw out, covering her mouth with her hand. Her eyes went from Hayate to Shinrei, scanning him a little better now. Seemed to be in shape and a bit taller than Ethel, so it was probably best not to get them too riled up. Still... [color=7ea7d8]"You sure talk big, but when was I talking to you?"[/color] was the first jab the teen took, turning away from the wall and walking on the road. Honestly she was just annoyed Shinrei mimicked her, so too many steps didn't get taken before Ethel turned back to face the duo.

[color=7ea7d8]"I had no target. Don't just assume things of me, just as how I don't assume of you."[/color] The teen wiped a few strands of hair from the front of the right eye, then folded her hands behind her back. She put on a friendly, though fake smile, and her eyes betrayed her pure glee right now. [color=7ea7d8]"Hey hey, your girlfriend's fine you know. No need to be so overprotective."[/color] Another jab. [color=7ea7d8]"Maybe some other girls swoon over you, I don't. You're too arrogant."[/color] And another. Ethel wasn't particularly trying to get under Shinrei's skin, though she couldn't help herself with this. [color=7ea7d8]"Although you're cute, I guess. Going around like some hot shot, pretending to be better than everyone even if you've not proven anything... But that's all it is, cute."[/color]

Enough beating around the bush, Ethel supposes. Shinrei flat out asked what she wanted of him, which honestly, wasn't much. The main focus was just teaching that girlfriend of theirs that she shouldn't be leeching off of people better than her, but telling him wouldn't hurt. [color=7ea7d8]"I was just curious in you, is all~."[/color] A little singing tone was in Ethel's voice, but far from pleasant. She looked back over to Hayate. [color=7ea7d8]"If you hang around girls like her, though, I can't see how you're better than a wind yourself~! I'm no longer interested, so that's that~!"[/color] Finishing it off with a slight head tilt and closed eyes, Ethel was actually super happy for some reason. A burning feeling was in her chest, and her heart was going nuts. It felt great to say those things, in her mind, and she turned on her heel. [color=7ea7d8]"Want something of me before I leave~?"[/color] Ethel asked with her back turned to the duo.
