*Once she'd grabbed his arm, Faye then gave it a heavy shove back to him, then folded her arms over her rather show-offy cleavage as she glared at him. There were people around, and she didn't much want to cause a scene about this, so for now she just whispered at him angrily*

What the hell did you think you were doing back there? Were you SPYING on me?

*She felt a little ill for a moment, wondering if maybe he just didn't trust her to go out and be around other men*

[crankyshark]

[he blinked a bit at her shove, maybe a little surprised by just how mad she seemed. He took a half step back from her, hunching and frowning a bit almost like a pet that'd been caught doing something it knew it shouldn't be doing]

S-sorry...spying? I don't think Id call it spying. I just....stopped by now and then...y'know, to check everything was okay.

[myfayevalentine]

*Faye caught that look, the expression on his face when he leaned back from her slightly. Instantly, she pouted, and pointed a finger at him in her frustration*

Don't you do that puppy dog face with me, mister! It's not gonna fly!

*She shook her head then, tossing her now-longer hair back over her shoulder as she looked around her, trying to figure out what to make of all this*

What are you checking up on me for? Huh? I told you I'd let you know it was going okay. I TOLD you I'd tell you when I was coming home. That not good enough? You don't believe me?

[crankyshark]

[he wasn't sure what she meant by puppy dog face, but he looked down as she continued to voice her displeasure]

'Course I believe you.... But things can happen quickly, y'know? [hed thought of an inner of explanations if she caught him... Someone might subdue her before she could use her journal, someone might drug her so she passed out, or even if she did get to use the journal to contact him, she could get hurt while he was on the way if he wasn't close by. But he didn't feel like laying out all those excuses under her hot gaze. He just felt ashamed....she was right, it'd been a rude thing to do and probably made her feel like he didn't respect her]

...you're right. I'm a jerk... [he sighed] I still let my paranoia override my common sense sometimes...

[myfayevalentine]

Things can happen. But that's why I brought this thing with me in the first place.

*She lifted her purse, heavy with her winnings and her journal, and tapped it against his chest, and not exactly lightly, but not too heavily either*

You're not a jerk. But you can't follow me around forever, Thash. I need to do things on my own sometimes. Don't you? Isn't there something more interesting you could be doing instead of following me round everywhere?

[crankyshark]

[he looked down at her purse when it hit his chest and he hunched a little more]

Well...at first I was workin' on a pair of small knives I've been making, but I got bored. And I kept thinking about Gun Frontier... So I came I to town to grab some food and get my mind off it, but it didn't work. Well, I mean I got food, but it didn't get my mind off of anything.

[these were the times when it might be beneficial to have more normal hobbies or some semblance of a social life]

[myfayevalentine]

Thash...

*As frustrated as she was, Faye sounded more tired when she said his name then. It was a little upsetting for her to know that he was having such a bad time while she was busy enjoying herself with others*

You need to stop worrying so much about me. I'm a big girl. I can look after myself.

[crankyshark]

Yeah....okay. [it was clear by his voice and expression he felt bad... Not just because he'd gotten caught, but for the frustration he was causing her] sorry if I...ruined your game or anything. I'll find something else to do.

[myfayevalentine]

*Faye just stared at him a few moments more, still not sure how to handle Thash when he was like this. It was much easier for her to deal with someone who was aggressive or angry towards her, instead of someone like Thash who showed what he was really feeling, and he didn't seem happy*

Well, I can't go back to the game tonight. So. Here I am.

*Then she looked at him expectantly, wondering what he might want to do now*

[crankyshark]

You can't? Aw man, I really did screw it up for you huh... [he looked at her apologetically and scratched the back of his neck, trying to think of some way to make things better]

Well um...have you eaten?

[myfayevalentine]

Yeah, you kinda did.

*For as much as Faye didn't like seeing Thash in that way, she still wasn't exactly one to say things just to make someoone else feel better. He had screwed up the fact that she might have won more, but that was okay. She shrugged*

But hey, I can always come back tomorrow night.

*Faye put a hand on her hip and looked at Thash steadily*

You buying?

[crankyshark]

Sure... It's the least I can do.

[he wasn't particularly hungry after having eaten earlier himself, but he was more than willing to sit with her and maybe snack on something while she had a meal]

[myfayevalentine]

*Faye wasn't particularly hungry either, but she was happy to just look at Thash and wait for him to take her somewhere by way of apology*

I want tea and cake. Can you take me somewhere for that?

[crankyshark]

Hm...yeah! I think I saw a place a few streets over with that kinda stuff. Like a little bakery cafe place. [he seemed to perk up a little, turning to lead the way] shall we?

[myfayevalentine]

Mmhm. Let's go.

*Faye nodded and headed along with him, glancing back the way they had come. She put her bag back on her shoulder, happy with the weight of the money there*

You know you could have just joined in but - I don't need a bodyguard...

*Her voice was much more gentle now at least*

[crankyshark]

I know you don't... I just need to have some better self control, seriosuly. Not just in how I act but how I think. [he was determined next time to make himself think about something else and not worry about her...if he could do that, it'd make leaving her along much easier]

[hed take her to the place he'd seen earlier, and buy her whatever tea and cake she liked. After that it'd be pretty late and time to call it a night. The next night she went out, Thash decided to do something useful and tried to make some business connections with local restaurant owners...see which ones might be interested in buying fish from him while they were docked there. It kept him suitably distracted and he didn't go to check up on Faye]
