Nic seemed a little surprised and his ego seemed slightly bruised. But he still said nothing.

Rosen blinked, "Da terra?" he cussed, confused.

"It's not Nic's fault when you seduce him! And it's totally not fair to him! You're just a genetic... genetic robot if you force people to do that kinda stuff! Obviously they don't like it!" Laurel ranted, shoving Rosen a little, "Quit picking on Nic just because he's bi!"

Nic was starting to get irritated, but he continued to let Laurel do what she was inclined to do.

"So back off!" Laurel shouted, shoving him towards the door.

"I ged it... I ged it," Rosen mumbled, still holding his nose with a frown as he escaped because Laurel could hit him more.

Laurel closed the door with a huff before returning to the meal. She was still frowning as she glared at the food.

Nic didn't say anything, not having trouble going back to eating.

Laurel seemed to have lost what little appetite she had, "I hate him," she declared quietly.

Nic remained silent.

Laurel shoved the food away from her, "This whole place makes me disgusted," she suddenly told him.

"Take a few minutes to cool off," Nic suggested, voice calm.

Laurel looked at Nic, eyes clearly still protective, "Why are you so calm?!"

"You're worked up enough for both of us," Nic replied easily.

Laurel glared at Nic, "Don't you care?" she asked, still too angry to think totally rationaly.

"Care about what?" Nic asked. "Revenge on Rosen or your appetite?"

Laurel paused and then she threw her roll at Nic's head, anger flaring up in her eyes, "It's not funny, Nic! These people are abusing you and you don't defend yourself at all! If you can't then we should just go." she stated, an odd coldness filling her voice.

Nic caught the roll and put it on the table. "You defended me plenty, why did I need to do anything?" he asked.

Laurel stared at him, "You wouldn't say anything even if I stayed quiet," she retorted.
