Oh. No. Nope. No. No. Althea fixed Bentley with a hard look, frowning a little in the process. She'd opened her mouth to speak but...nope - she pushed that thought and all those unnecessary feelings to the back of her mind. She did her best to bounce back and smiled a little. "I think I will do just that." And she would bottle up her heart and any unnecessary feelings that plagued that particular organ.

The water splashing had lifted her mood and so she, in turn, splashed him - because she was incredibly mature - and tried to keep her smile under control. Gross. "What reputation is that?" Althea certainly hadn't heard anything - outside of what her brother told her - about him. "Good reps are for those who want to live a simple, boring life though." Not that she knew anything about reputations and how to acquire or un-acquire them. "Please. Just admit you like hearing me talk, Benny," she teased, "it's perfectly fine and understandable."
