If Nathan were to be inhibited, it would require tact and verbal proficiency. [color=royalblue]"Brusselsprout, I find it disconcerting that you will believe any wild servants tale that happens to make its way from the kitchens to your overeager ears,"[/color] Elias casually responded, making sure to never give Nathan his gaze. [color=royalblue]"If you find yourself searching for a bitch of whorish tendencies and disreputable behavior, I would advise you go back and search in the same gutter that you pulled that forsaken pair of boots from."[/color] Shifting his weight so that he could scrub his back, Elias cast an arrogant glance at his unwelcome guest. [color=royalblue]"Please, at least try to show some class when speaking of a woman such as Alexis. Count your blessings that you find yourself able to set foot in this respectable establishment despite your obvious disregard of proper conduct, as well as the knowledge that I have never sought after or engaged in intercourse with Alexis, for if I did, I know she'd find your actions and stamina in bed quite underwhelming in comparison. After all, I fear that your pompous lifestyle has robbed you of physical vigor and a woman's touch in exchange for a soft hand and a strengthened right arm."[/color] Elias snorted derisively as he returned to his own hygiene, mentally preparing himself to [i]not[/i] break the bastard's nose.
