But that wasn't all.
"EX-cuse me? A picture of ME?" With her own camera? Okay, that was it. He was clearly a nutcase and they accidentally let him loose from Mungo's. Yup, she would have to knock him out and then bring him to the authorities in this place.
But before she could figure out how to knock him out, he was dragging her towards a table, where he stood for a few minutes, busily scribbling something on a piece of parchment. Ruby leaned over to look, but he was already turning around.
As she read the parchment, her mouth fell open in horror. Brave? Charming? IDOL?! Ruby couldn't believe it. She actually burst out laughing at his stupid grin. He really believed that she would sign it.
Once her laughter subsided, reached up to tuck some hair behind her ear (meanwhile still holding on to the camera) and studied him.
"Let's say...I actually sign this," she pointed to the parchment, "How do I know you'll really give my camera back and not throw it out the window?" She asked him, her eyes narrowed. It couldn't hurt to go along with him at this point, seeing as her camera was still in his hands and he was clearly stronger than her so there was no way to wrestle it away.
"You heard right," Braeden confirmed, nodding his head as the Evil Lioness spluttered at all his requests. He was looking quite smug; he liked watching the tables turn; now
she was the one in disadvantage. Mwaha!
And then she was
laughing! Laughing?! Braeden's grin faded and his brows furrowed - what was so funny?! Certainly she wasn't laughing at his requests, was she?
Yep, she was.
Grr. Evil Lioness. He glared at her.
Braeden listened as she then tried to negotiate, asking how she could be sure he would really give her back the camera if she signed the parchment. But Brae was having no negotiations. He already knew what he wanted, and if he didn't get it
then the Evil Lioness wasn't getting her camera. Simple as that. "There's only one way to find out," said the boy, raising his eyebrows at the girl and smiling deviously as he handed her the quill with his free hand.
