Hyde started on the defense, not much liking to be looked down on, especially from a kid. She supposed she had just come from a trashcan, but she still took offense to it being pointed out. But, her defense faded quickly to a childish pout at his "I just might be.' Just her luck. Though, to be completely honest, her morals weren't exactly very high to begin with anyway. Maybe she should just stick it out, see where it goes? Maybe.
Hyde sighed from her internal conflict, hooking her thumbs into her belt loops idly, "Aye, what I do in my free time is my--" She paused as he started to move away, ever so slowly. Hyde's whole body tensed in reflex, everything tightly coiled and ready to launch herself on him if he bolted. The kid looked mighty suspicious right now, really, and she didn't need the cops on her tail if he was a snitch too. Her hand moved toward her bat, but only rested on the top of the blood-slicked surface, ready but not yet bashin'. Not just yet.
"Oi, oi..." She said quietly, "Where'ya think you're going, kid? Weren't we having a lovely chat?" Hyde's voice was light, but her gaze held pure seriousness.
He was only a tad taller than herself, but it was enough for her to have to raise her face to look at him. Blonde had never been her preference anyway, so it wouldn't be too much of a lose if Hyde had to 'Take care of things.', but still a bit of a bummer. He wasn't bad looking and she wasn't sure she felt up to finding someone else.
