Snippet #17197

Ion's eyes widened a bit in surprise at his response. She stared at his retreating back with one raised eyebrow. She thought she had masked all signs of unpleasantness in her act.. but apparently he saw through her charade. The girl rubbed her head furiously and looked down, her eyes narrowing in frustration. "Great.. my first day in Jump City and I already made an enemy." Exhaling sharply, Ion knew she'd have to try to make amends for her rude behavior. Still standing in place, she took off her black slipper and hurled it at the guy. Her method of "apologizing" would probably stir up more unnecessary trouble.. although, it would also cause Ion less embarrassment.

Ion swiftly walked over to the suit of armor and stood in front of his path. He was a great deal taller than her, but she'd put up a fight if he tried to pass. "Look, we probably didn't get off to a right start.. and seeing that we're probably going to be on the same team, I'd say we call a truce, yeah?" She shot out her hand in an awkward attempt of a handshake and stared up at him insistently.
