Snippet #1601797

Miles followed Ruko up the stairs, pausing to glance around the area. Their voices disappeared a few moments before they'd reached the floor. He didn't think much of it though. They were all free to go off and do their own things. The blue-haired kid, however, was probably napping away in his room. Will and Adrien... “So where is Frenchie and Will? I think they abandoned us.” So she was wondering about it, too.

He shrugged. "Adrien mentioned getting some things of his earlier. He probably went for that with Will," Miles responded. They better not get caught. He cast a look at Ruko, wondering if she had anything she needed to get from anywhere or if she already had all that she needed. “So what do you have standing that you want to keep standing? Come on, you can tell me, I won’t tell anyone, I swear. Pretty please?” Ruko asked, turning to face him with a look Miles found could only be described as the 'puppy dog look.' He, too, was a master of the look, but he found it to be demeaning and desperate, so therefore never could be bothered to use it. Not that he'd even need to, really.

Miles blinked widely at her, caught off-guard for a moment. She, she what? I couldn't show her that! he thought in his mind, twitching some as he continued to stare at her. He frowned, looking away to gather his thoughts and composure. "I have no idea what you're talking about," he stated stiffly. Smooth, Miles, why don't you just shoot yourself while you're at it? He was mad again; mad at himself for being suddenly unable to come up with a good enough lie or a more successful distraction to get Ruko's mind off his little slip of the tongue. He hesitated, before sighing, knowing there was no possible way that she would believe him. "You are quite the trouble-maker," he sighed before picking himself up. "Alright. I'll show it to you. On some conditions..." His expression became very serious as he looked at her. "Do not touch anything, take anything, remove or replace anything, and you are absolutely not to speak of it to anyone. Understood?"
