Ink Them
Kieran let out a cry of triumph when he found the pouch the girl spoke of, only to jump a foot high in the air when Alec suddenly talked behind him without giving any warning that he was there at all.
"What exactly are you doing?"
"God, don't do that," Kieran growled, resisting the urge to put his hand on over his chest like a terrified maiden.
"Sure," Alec said, tilting his head with his normal smile.
Kieran glared at him. "I'm serious. Don't do that again. You need bells. You'll scare the pants of someone one day, then you'll regret it."
Alec raised a brow. The only reason why the man had been so shocked was because he wasn't paying attention to his surroundings.
Alec wouldn't have shocked the man so much had he just paid proper caution since he was in enemy territory.
If anything, Kieran should be thanking him that he wasn't an enemy.
Kieran just glowered at Alec, shuffling aside.
