Snippet #1275586

Matt barely flinched as Shadow put a knife to his throat. His glare at Kain softened a bit before he sat down again. But his eyes never left the body of the pirate. He watched as the cocky prick suddenly had a change of attitude and offered to get something for Mark over there. His ears twitched as he then heard him whisper. "Pompous little thief indeed..." Matt smirked, whispering. They were obviously underestimating him... BIG mistake. Teisei hadn't picked him to steal stuff for nothing, you know. In fact... Matt glanced at Shadow. Red eyes... Hadn't he seen him before? He had worked for him too, didn't he-
Kain bumped into Matt as he walked past, knocking him out of his thought. Kain played it off easily enough, but Matt knew better. He reached for his bag of pearls under his cloak, feeling or them under the fabric... They were there. He let out a small sigh. But he'd still have to check them closer later. Until then, he resolved not to let the bastard out of his sight. He was surprised Shadow didn't recognize him. Not like he'd never seen him before. Everyone who used to work for Teisei knew of Shadow at least. Oh well. No fame for poor old Moonlight, he supposed. But who was Kain? A cocky, arrogent, sarcastic prick. THAT'S what he was... Matt growled under his breath. These thoughts were getting him nowhere. Best to pay attention to the situation at hand. Matt closed his eyes, trying to find his mask again. As he opened them, that innocent twinkle returned. His mask was back in place. He was surprised it had fallen in the first place. Totally uncool.
Wait... THAT WAS A GLINT OF RED IN HIS HAND!! HE HAD TAKEN THEM!! Ugh... calm, Matthew, He reminded himself. Remember your mask. He took a second to respond. He had to think.How would an arrogent youth act?
Oh wait. Duh.
"GIVE THOSE BACK YOU BASTARD!!!" Matt stood up again, this time knocking over his chair with the backs of his legs.
