𝐀𝐒 𝐇𝐄 𝐅𝐈𝐍𝐈𝐒𝐇𝐄𝐃 𝐒𝐏𝐄𝐀𝐊𝐈𝐍𝐆 𝐓𝐎 𝐀 𝐃𝐄𝐑𝐀𝐍𝐆𝐄𝐃 𝐕𝐄𝐑𝐄𝐍𝐀, Murphy naturally attempted to hold a calm and collected demeanor desptie the fear that was currently running through his body and mind.
Having heard rumors of those who'd ended up becoming deformed due to the wrath of Verena's claws, most of which having insulted the teen in some way.
Yet instead of the offended and angry reaction Murphy had expected to come from Verena's, the mentally disturbed teen only let out a near normal string of laughs.
"What do you think you're hurting my feelings," Verena couldn't help but ask out of amusement, keeping up with Murphy's steps as she continued their conversation. "I've butchered people for less, than a little name calling, John."
Verena reminisced honestly as she threw a truth telling glance over to the teen beside her, once again hauling his first name already knowing the reaction she'd gain from it.
A reaction that she'd begun to search for out of amusement given how much it made her laugh, however Murphy seemed determined to keep his next few sets of expressions under control.
Not wanting to give Verena the reaction she seemingly chased.
"Which is exactly my point." He simply stood on what he'd originally mentioned, his gaze straight ahead as he continued to walk almost lazily.
Attempting to treat Verena like an acting out child, that being said his method was less than likely to work.
Given that although Verena acted out at the sight of aggression yet chased an aggressive reaction out of anyone she was near.
