"Owowowowow..."
The force of the slap far outweighed the indiscretion of the comment, Kir thought dazedly, and wondered if his beak had been dislocated. All I said was she'd look good in one of those school girl skirts, not just those big poofy ball gowns...
The gown-wearer in question stood over the albatross, face red with indignation and haughtiness. He tented his wings over his head -- a sign of surrender -- but she raised her hand again and he couldn't help but flinch. "Foul-mouthed little --"
A strong hand caught her wrist and held it up firmly.
"No. A lady is entitled to one strike if she's been offended. Any more than that, and you're attacking my partner." Fingers tightened, enough to make his point and perhaps a bruise or two later; she let out a soft gasp.
"I-I was only..."
"I was watching," Jing said coldly, his ash-coloured eyes glinting with a dangerous light. "So don't bother trying to lie."
"Mmm," the woman said, recovering a bit and trailing her other hand down Jing's arm. "Maybe you're better versed in courtship --"
He pushed her away, hard enough to sit her down in her chair without harming her; the look on her face was one of comical shock. "No thanks," he said, a hint of disgust in his voice. "We'll be going now."
He collected Kir from the table and swept out of the room.
"Guess I deserved that one," Kir muttered as they walked down the darkened street, pressing a wing to the side of his head. His ears were ringing still.
"No... you didn't," Jing answered. "Not this time, anyway."
"Comin' to my rescue from now on, eh Jing?" Kir smirked, but the thief answered only by rubbing the bird's wing joints, (a place that ached often from bearing the weight of the huge wings of his altered state) and Kir sagged bonelessly, practically crooning in appreciation. "Ohh... I feel better already."
"One day you'll find a girl just for you," Jing said consolingly. "Until then, try to keep from offending all the others..."
"I'll do my best," the albatross mumbled, to which the Bandit King only shook his head wryly.
