Luring Rats Out pt. 2

Lukas' face scrunched in displeasure.

"Stop calling me that."

"Not until you give me the report and my compensation, mister scammer," I goaded.

It made him click his tongue as he was annoyed.

"Tch."

"You know, you are not just an arsonist but also a swindler." Covering the smile that was plastered on my lips, I continued to taunt him.  "My, your grace, you sure have a lot of professions. Are you aiming to be a crime lord or what?"

Lukas wasn't riled or anything. He regarded me lazily with those playful eyes of his.

"You are really getting braver, little cat," he said.

"No, I am just worried for you because I am your friend. Friends help their friends get into the right path."

"A friend, huh?"

"Yes, friends," I blinked in his direction, "We're friends, right? So one more privilege of being a friend is that I can talk casually to you."

"No, you're just being shameless," he rebuked.

"Look who's talking!"
