Great. Fantastic. Bellamy's snort is mostly to himself, as he turns away from her at right about the same time. Whatever, Kitty.

But also, not whatever. The feeling of being dismissed is not a feeling that Bellamy appreciates. If they were really fine, she wouldn't have added that last part, right? Consequently, he gets about four steps before he turns back to her.

"Why is it refreshing?" Just, you know. Enlighten him.

She swivels towards him in return, rather pleased by his question. She likes Mr. Cool-and-Composed asking her questions. And so, when he meets her eyes, for a moment she's wearing a pleased smile - and then she tosses her head and sighs, all irritation and hauteur.

"Because not many people can," she replies matter-of-factly. "Most people go about it the wrong way."

[nonsibi]

He doesn't miss that little smirk of hers, or how quickly she follows it up with her imperious air. Oh, he thinks, one of those. Which, nothing against those, exactly, but now he knows a little bit more about Kitty.

"Uh-huh." Dull, unimpressed. Bellamy sizes her up. (That's not a short joke.) "There a rule about what's the right way and what's the wrong way?"

[rathercommon]

"Not really," she replies with a shrug. "There are lots of right ways, after all. Rather fewer wrong ways. But I guess - it's wrong, I think, when you're resentful about it. Lots of people get angry when they owe someone something - sort of hate them for it. That's wrong."

And then she looks at him - not challenging, but just considering. She wasn't completely sure whether that made sense, and so she watches to see if he understands what she means.

In answer, Bellamy continues to look at her for a few moments after she's lapsed into silence. Too flat to be truly judgmental; just lingering enough to suggest that maybe he's checked out.

Then he breaks it, when he raises his eyebrows.

"Yeah. You're just talking a lot and hoping that I'm gonna agree with you."
