Irresistable... she gave a loud SNORT! at that and wrinkled her nose away from his poke. NO TOUCHY! "Soooooooo irresistible. Ugh, Merlin, yes yes yesssssss, you're sooooo irresistible... that's why you're still single, right? Because you'd haaaate to cut yourself up into little pieces for all the women that want you." Her poisonous voice was positively dripping with sarcasm.
"Since when does Hogwarts need security?" She bristled at the idea. "We offer defense lessons... and have a full staff of capable adults. What are you suggesting, trolls? Like yourself? Or are you volunteering your services as big bad 'former Auror.'" Yes she did make air quotes around his old job title. It was hard to believe that Axe had ever done anything productive in life, including teach.
How much had she donated? She side-eyed him warily. "Enough. More than you at this point." So impress her, oh-so-rich one.[/color] Aww look at her getting all feisty. She always hated to see him do well. Axe wasn't even going to bother telling her that he won the money fair and square, he had been playing cards since he was...well for a long time. Naturally he was going to reap the rewards from his skillful playing. Instead he smirked at her. "Well I never claimed to have many scruples Annie." And she could take that anyway she liked.
Marcus could not help but laugh again. She was making this all too easy for him and he lent back in his chair and grinned like a cheshire cat. The more defensive she got, the more amused he became. "See! I knew you would understand." He chuckled again, wondering how long it would be before she smacked him. "And anyway, who says I'm single?" He was, but unless she had been stalking him, she was not to know that.
At that, Lawson burst out laughing. He laughed so hard that he almost fell off the chair. "You offer defense classes to a bunch of children and if your staff was so capable then Hogwarts would not be in this predicament." It was his turn to snort this time. She might want to consider the trolls. "My dear you could not afford my services." And he was not about to put himself in danger. Those days were definitely over.
Placing his hand into his pocket, Axe pulled out the leather pouch that was full to bursting onto the table. "Not sure how much is in there, lost count after a thousand."
Merlin! He liked being rich.
