His head snapped up from the page he was working on, and for a few seconds the look on his face could've killed. But Brandon was nothing if not restrained, and didn't say anything until he was sure it wouldn't come out sounding angry. The anger in his eyes faded into... something else far away, and he went back to looking at his article. "Do you always introduce yourself like that?" he asked calmly. "It's very rude. And I'm not stupid." She could count herself lucky that he did not have a short fuse or low self esteem. And now, if she'd excuse him, he had dittany to read about and a warm sandwich with cocoa to look after.

Sloane watched as he turned, her expression blank and cold, much like the weather on the balcony. His reaction, whilst not surprising, did seem a little…extreme to her. Was being called stupid that bad? Raising an eyebrow, she tilted her head tilted to one side as she eyed his sceptically. Maybe the cold was getting to him.

“i’M being rude?” How could he not see the irony here? Rolling her eyes, she decided to elaborate a little further, as a favour to him. “yOU’RE sitting on a balcony in the cold. It’s stupid.” SOme may have looked at her words as mean but as ever, she only ever spoke matter-of-factly. “aND no, I don’t introduce myself tHAT way. dO you always do sTUPID things?”
