Spoiled

[Riley]

Riley rolled his eyes. "You don't have to worry about that," he chuckled. "He's real nice and all, but he kind of scares me. I never seed a man talk so much in my life!" The Zercan cleared his throat and scratched the back of his neck nervously.

"I mean seen," he muttered. Why was he so worried about impressing this spoiled spaz? It confused him.... "How many other brothers to you got? Gio and Jeve' I know, but anymore? I'm not in'rested in hitting on them or anything, I'm just curious," he added.

[Teragon]

"Keat. He's not around much though." he replied, staring at the other through the corner of his eye. He wouldn't admit it, even to himself, but the guy didn't look too terribly dirty.

[Riley]

"So three big brothers?" he smiled. "I have one big brother, Wolf. Well, he ain't my real blood brother. But he's the best brother I have and know."

He paused and glanced at the fire, wondering how some one could be so wasteful. "Would you mind too terrible much if I sat on the couch? Or... if not, just the floor?"

[Teragon]

"Whatever. just don't get germs or anything on them." In went the gloves and purse-still filled to the brim with money.

[Riley]

"What are you, STUPID?" Riley exclaimed, startled. Who would throw a whole bag full of money into the fire?! He could buy so much food with that. The brunette grabbed the poker from the side of the fireplace and quickly pushed out the purse. He stomped on it to put the fire out before knealing down to study the money. "How can ya be so wasteful? A family could buy a weeks wortha food with this," he accused after pouring out the coins, his eyes widening in amazement. "Naw, more like a week and a half. Two if they're 'sourceful!"

[Teragon]

"Stupid?! It's just money, you lecher!! And you touched it! Who knows what kind of diseases you have?? Or how many pigmies you're carrying!!!!" he argued, stamping his foot to show his point. "And it's my money! Not someone else's! I'll do what I want with it!!!!!!"

[Riley]

What the heck's a pigmies? Riley thought. "If you're just going to burn it, why can't I have it?" he argued, fingering the coins. "It go to much better use. And burnin' it won't do nothing. Don't germs float in the air or something? You're prolly covered in them since you're such a wasteful brat," he said. The insult didn't really make sense to him, but oh well. He began to stuff the money in his pocket.

[Teragon]

"On me?!?!?!??!?!?!?!?" He gave a yelp before desperately trying to brush himself off. Nonononono! He couldn't be dirty! He had just washed, and his clothes were perfectly clean!! "Get them off!" he whined desperately, nearing tears.

(God..I feel dumb and embarrassed for him )

[Riley]

(Poor Tera! Riley shouldn't have said that >.< heheh)

Riley stood up quickly when Tera began to spaz again. The boy looked like he was about to start crying! He hadn't meant for that to happen. "H-hey, hey. Don't worry. I bet they aren't bad germs. I heard some germs are good for you, you know? They like... kill the bad ones!" he said, wondering if that was true.

He cautiously approached the scared mint haired guy and started raising his hands, trying to comfort him without touching him. "They won't hurt you, Tera," he said gently.

[Teragon]

"Yes they will!" He sniffed, still brushing himself foff, though not as desperately as before.

He rubbed his eyes. "Go ahead! Make fun of me! everyone does, but it's true! I can't stand dirt...I can't stand germs..." He turned his back to the other. "They're horrid and I can't stand them!!"

[Riley]

"Naw, I won't make fun of you," Riley decided. He bit his lip. Instinct told him to hug Tera, but then it also told him that could only be a bad idea. "Um... don't cry, it'll be okay. See... ya still standing here, right? So they can't be that bad. I mean...," he trailed of, trying to think of the right thing to say. "Like, look at me! I have dirt on me, and I haven't keeled over or nothing, see?"

[Teragon]

He glanced at him over his shoulder. "That's because you're poor."

(ouch.)

[Riley]

"Bein' poor ain't got nothing to do with it!" Riley said angrily. Here he was, trying to be nice and comforting, and Tera had to say that. It was really low of him. "The only difference between me and you is that you got lots of money and I don't. That has nothing to do with how our bodies work."

[Teragon]

He let out a frustraited sound and stormed out, shoving passed Jeve`, yelling about 'the lecher not deserving a response'.

"My my, what happened?" Jeve` asked, his brow furrowing as he placed the tray of food down on a low side table. "I've never seen my brother so upset."

[Riley]

"Aw, he's just mad cuz I said being poor doesn't effect how your body works," he mumbled at Jeve'. "Thank you for the food, Jeve'," he said, giving the man a small smile.
