Now face to face, Daniel had a chance to get a better glance of the woman who had caught his eye that evening. Her figure was what had caught his eyes originally but she had a pretty face to match. He found her olive green eyes attractive, both due to the makeup that surrounded them as well as how the few small lights of the bar reflected in them. The only thing he liked better about them was how they swept over him. It was a silent stroke to his ego that she was already eying him with interest. Based on that alone, he had been expecting for her to welcome him in and brush off whoever this other man was. It was a bit of a curve ball to him when this other man spoke up first, already standoffish about his sudden appearance. 

It was then that his gaze finally pulled away from her to look over the other man. He was muscular but a tad shorter than Daniel and in his opinion, annoying looking. Daniel could pinpoint exactly what it was that made the man in front of him rub him the wrong way—aside from a similar interest in women of course. Perhaps it was the lacking care of his appearance or the way he was clearly sizing up his competitor in such an obvious way.  Daniel glanced towards the woman again, expecting her to voice her own opinion only to find her sipping at her drink. [i]So she wants a show… [/i]he realized, stifling a snort. [i]Fine by me.[/i]

Though he was hoping she’d be direct enough to shoo the other man way, it seemed like he’d have to put in more of an effort or do it himself. He should have expected as much when he had insisted on leaving unibrow to Eric—who was already making the most of his conversation with the redhead. Daniel didn’t plan on backing down from this box of a man though. Instead, he met the other man’s gaze. "I'm sure that conversation was a dull one. I should make it clear that I wasn't talking to you anyways." Daniel said smiling politely but having a sharp edge in his voice as he spoke.  

“Excuse me?” The box glared at him hostilely. 

Daniel sighed and crossed his arms. “I’m saying I’m asking her, this pretty lady right here, if it’s alright I cut in. Not you. Do you understand now or do I need to simplify it more?”

It was amusing how red the other man was getting. If he had had a few more drinks, Daniel fully believed that man would have tried to punch him. Luckily he seemed to be sober enough to yield what little control he did have over his temper. “Hey asshole, I gave you her answer. It’s the same as mine so go bother someone else.” he growled. 

“Huh. Interesting, I didn’t see you ask her about it.” Daniel mused. He was beginning to see why this man had annoyed him so much right from the start. The dude had no regard for the woman he was speaking with. And apparently speaking for in this situation. Whatever guilt he may have harbored from cutting in was gone now. When a hint of confusion flashed across the other man’s gaze, Daniel bit back a chuckle. This guy was not sharp at all.

Assuming that he wouldn’t mentally catch up in time with his words, Daniel smirked. “Listen man, point is I’ll leave if she wants me to but it’s gotta come from her mouth not yours. And she hasn't said it yet.” he sneered, putting as simply as he possibly could after all the poking he had done at the other man. Daniel shrugged his shoulders in a careless manner and looked over at the woman who's attention they were vying for. It wasn't a battle he needed to fight for her but she had clearly been looking for the two men to argue over her. Daniel was merely trying to met her expectations. He flashed her another charming smile and winked in a sly manner rather than a flirtatious one before looking back to the other man. The square was slowly turning into a rectangle with how tensely he stood. Daniel's words were clearly getting to him so he couldn't help but take one last jab at the other man. “So maybe stop acting like a douche and step aside.” he remarked with a simplistic tone of voice as he took a final dig at the other man.
