Veronica made a face. An annoyed twist at the curve of her mouth before her eyes made a perfect half-circle. He was being a brat, but she didn’t tell him so. Brat didn't seem like a good enough word. She tried to think of another. She shifted on her feet, one hip angling outwards as she propped her hand on it. When she looked at him again her mouth was a straight line.
“Then give it to me,” she said, standing straight to take a step back and thrust her hand out at him. Fidgeting. Wiggling fingers demanded the article of clothing. She was getting colder and if he was going to tower and menace he could afford to give it up.
He got shitty. A smart remark and a petulant tone. She frowned again before lighting another cigarette, and glaring up at that dark gaze. He looked like he wanted to eat her. Her pulse quickened, for the first time something close to fear was sour in the back of her throat. She inhaled deeply on the cigarette, gaze falling to the dark patch of blood on his shirt. When she exhaled, she blew smoke down but still at him in a way that was almost deliberately defiant.
Part of her wanted to just walk away from him. Not that he couldn’t stop her, or follow her, since apparently she was very easy for him to find. But, it would perhaps make a point. She half turned as if she would move away from him. Forgetting the jacket and the blood and the whole whatever the fuck they were doing, but she stopped.
“So, what’s your deal?” she demanded, flicking ash onto the ground and turning back to him. Trying for flippant and probably failing. An unintentional quiver to her tone. Dark green locks of hair were curling weightlessly around her head. “You’re being a real dick.”

I fear no fate (for you are my fate, my sweet) I want no world (for beautiful you are my world, my true) and it’s you are whatever a moon has always meant and whatever a sun will always sing is you.
