Zaire, with literally no warning whatsoever, suddenly pounces on Riley. ,, Is she your girlfriend? ,, He demands with a growl.

Shade goes angry and hateful again,glaring. "No." He growled right back,pupils reptilian slits.

Riley yelps when Zaire pounces, trying to get away from Zaire again. "Who? What? No! What? Rhia? No, she's just a friend."

Shade felt he would know if Riley all of a sudden had a girl friend...and not that he totally would feel sad or somethin'.

He growls and smacks him across the face. His claws are sheathed, but it still hurts. ,, Liar! ,,

"Stop being so rude! Shade's my boyfriend, and Rhia is just the first sort of friend I've had here." Riley says with a wince, putting his hand up to his stinging cheek. The bruise wasn't getting any better in this situation.

That got Shade mad. "Hey! Leave him alone,he doesn't lie!" Though his heart was sorta racing as Riley said he was his boyfriend. He put a gentle hand to where he'd been hit,eyes saying he'd offer to heal it.

He very quickly switches to LGBT-related slurs and insults. Because hes a horrible person/fox.

Riley gives an almost imperceptible shake off his head at Shade's offer, backing up from Zaire, heart sinking. He's so mean. Why... ? He takes a few moments of the insults before yelling at the kitsune, "Okay, that's enough, I get it, you don't like me. Just SHUT UP!"

Shade was shocked and impressed with how Riley yelled at the Kitsune,he felt glad that he stood up for himself,standing and claring at Zaire.
