"Wow, I'm really feeling loved." Talyn mumbled, rolling her eyes. "That was the opposite of what I was going for." Trent replied snarkily, folding his arms. "I have a feeling that I'm unwanted..." Alex mumbled, ocean blue eyes flickering between the two. "How observant." Talyn stated. "Well, you know what they say!" Alex chirped, an, in Talyn's opinion, annoying smile on her face. "I don't and I don't want to. But you're probably going to tell me anyway..." The older woman stated, collapsing onto her chair.
"Live, laugh, love!" Alex stated, laughing in a way Talyn could only describe as snobby. "I would live, laugh, love to break your kneecaps." Talyn replied with a smile as she resisted the urge to let Phoenix take over and burn the female. She glanced over to Trent, who only shrugged in response. "I'd live, laugh, love if you would back off." Alex replied, narrowing her eyes. Talyn sighed before pulling up her sleeve and pressing a hand to the flame burned onto her arm. It'd be worth the jail time.
"Talyn, hun, calm down." The quiet voice of Catherine, Talyn's girlfriend, mumbled from behind her. Talyn glanced back at the woman surrounded by gold and bronze. "Is this you or one of them talking?" Talyn inquired. "It's me talking." Catherine assured her. "Fine. You're lucky she's here." Talyn growled out at Alex before standing up and making her way to the kitchen.
"You know, violence isn't always the answer." A confident voice stated from behind Talyn as she rummaged through the refrigerator. She turned around, a royal-type male surrounded by gold in front of her. "Wow, Essex the life coach." She stated mockingly, rolling her eyes. "Besides, you were the one who tried killing me when we first met." She added, smirking. "Not gonna let that go?" He asked, eyebrows raised. "Not a chance, princess." She replied with a laugh. "King." He corrected, lightly nudging her with his shoulder. "Yeah, whatever."
