The tension in the place suddenly spiked all of a sudden.
"Wait! Wait! Wait!" I had to call a time out.
"What's all this nonsense about competition and battle to the death?" I asked, my confusion written clearly on my face.
"You dared lay claim to the heart of Kaila, my beloved, you shall duel me to see who is more fit for her hand, you or me." The tigerkin spoke such sophistry I had half a mind to punch him, but the guy wasn't doing anything yet, so,
"Look. Dude, I don't have anything to do with this psycho woman, I promise you, look!" I stepped aside, giving him free reign,
"You can go confess your love or whatever, just leave me the fuck out of it." No way was I ruining my peace for something this ridiculous.
"Awww… Dante.. you're really going to deny me in public like this?"
"Fuck!!"
"Kaila! Stop stoking the flames!!"
"What flames?" She tilted her head in a cute and innocent manner.
