"Thea," Levi began to argue, as a reflex, one of the many talents he had inherited from his mother. But then he stopped himself because there was no point to argue. Levi prided himself on knowing which battles were his to pick and win, so he merely smiled quite blandly.

Then he stopped smiling, said: "I will do no such thing, Thea." Mostly because it was ridiculous and they were out in PUBLIC. Levi had a healthy opinion of himself, enough that he didn't care about what other's thoughts TOO much but he was still a teenager with an equally healthy need for attention so he expected strangers to give him their validation whenever they could for absolutely nothing in return. Which was a ridiculous thing to expect from ANYONE when he was constantly running his mouth.

Anyway. "I really will not do such thing, Thea." He said, as he did exactly the thing he was ordered by taking out a piece of chalk from the insides of his robes and bending down to draw a circle for his brother. Did this count as vandalism? "And you know what?" Stop, stop, stop. "Maybe you just want to dissociate from us--" He really was interested to know where he'd gotten that word from, "--because you actually have something to DO with Fat Charlotte's disappearance." YEAH, Levi, place the blame on someone else. GREAT idea.
