"Oh, yeah, time to explain. It's because he got sent to jail in Strawberry and I was forced to free him. And this is how he thanks me, the savior of his ass." -he explained.
Charlotte went silent as she glanced at Micah, who had an evil grin on his face.
"You know Lady, you have such piercing eyes that I feel like you are staring into my soul." -Micah complimented (meant to) Charlotte.
"You have a soul?" -Arthur asked confused, with narrowed eyes, staring at Micah.
"Micah, what the hell? What are you trying to achieve with this??" -John asked annoyedly. Charlotte looked at Micah with a surprised look on her face.
"Was that meant to be a compliment? Because I feel otherwise." -she replied with her arms crossed, looking Micah in the eyes now with a pissed-off look.
(Meanwhile, Sean fell asleep at the table, it's just that everyone's ignoring him.)
Micah broke out in laughter.
"Quit it! I was just joking! She has the worst pair I've ever seen!" -he said, while slowly walking away in laughter.
"What did you just say?" -John stood up from the table and grabbed Micah by his collar.
"Say it to my face again, you piece of shit!" -John demanded in anger.
This was the moment when Charlotte got up from the table, leaving only Arthur and Sean sitting there. Arthur hasn't said a word, he was more excited about John beating the life out of Micah.
"You're just asking for a punch, are you?" -Charlotte asked confidently while popping her knuckles.
"Oh yeah, this is about to get interesting!" -Arthur spoke up.
"Beat me all you want, but still won't change my opinion." -Micah added with an evil grin on his face. John tightened his grip on Micah's collar, making him start choking.
"I would kill you if Charlotte wasn't here." -he whispered to Micah then let go of him, letting him fall to the ground coughing.
Dutch came out of his tent to the noise.
"What is this bickering about?" -Dutch asked confused.
"He almost choked me, Dutch!" - Micah complained as he imitated a few more fake coughs.
"He would've deserved it, to be honest." -Arthur added, laughing.
"Oh, how I wish that-" -John was about to say.
"All of you, just stop acting like little kids, alright?!" -Dutch yelled and everyone fell silent. "Firstly, no one's getting killed on MY watch! Secondly, come with me Micah, I have to discuss something with you." -waved at Micah to follow him.
Charlotte was observing what was happening a little further away. John grunted in anger after Micah walked away, still making the most devilish smile he could.
Then Charlotte walked to John and said...
"Calm down, please. He's not worth killing by your hands." -Charlotte said to John while patting his shoulders. John sighed and tried to calm down by breathing in slowly and exhaling out.
"You're right, he's not worth that much hassle." -John replied.
"There there..." -she patted him on his shoulder- "...let's sit back down, okay?" -she asked with a warm smile on her face. John nodded.
They walked to another table to not bother Sean who was still sleeping.
"Don't listen to him, please. You have the most breathtaking eyes I've ever seen." -John said with a loving smile. Charlotte felt like her heart skipped a beat, but then remembered that there was Javier whom she had feelings for already.[?] (intended question mark)
"Thank you for your compliment, John. It makes me happy you think this way." -she replied with a smile.
Arthur looked back and forth between them.
"Hoo boy, it's time for me to go read my book! Have fun, you two." -he said happily and stood up from the table.
"Yeah, yeah. Good night!" -she replied.
"Whatever you say, Arthur." -John said.
The ominous clouds still lingered in the sky, like some sort of fog, covering the setting Sun.
