Prompts for the big misunderstanding.
Punctuated with a smile, painted in muted rose and lifted to be almost catlike, Chelsea's reassurance was anything but to Bret. Accented by the twirl of her own hair around her finger, delicate and deceptively innocent. A ploy to get the Hitman alone or to further embarrass the WWE talent, potential for misunderstanding was hidden beneath the motives that Chelsea refused to say. Hidden beneath charisma and confidence, Bret had been warned that she was never up to any good. Focused on her own goals, her own ambitions, the difference between a hero and a villain was clearly defined by she. A glimpse from a past that he'd rather never remember; the times of Bret's life that were so troubled, so overcome by pridefulness and vanity. With the Anvil on one side and the Mouth of the South on the other, when the Hitman was blinded by the attention, the glamour, the fabulousness that was found in being so rottenly spoiled. He had lost his way. Before the gray clouds left, he had lost himself, too. Never wanted to return to that person, could still recall with fondness the feeling of being free, of knowing that the Rougeau's would be stuck with Jimmy in the end, the bloodsucker, the scum, perhaps wanted to save Chelsea before it was too late. She couldn't have always been so bad.
Not willing to fall within the trap of schoolyard antics, Bret rolled his eyes at her defense but did no more. Kept his posture straight, his shoulders back, appeared as relaxed as always.
"That was uncalled for and you know it."
Bret remarked, the line of his sight centered on Chelsea, the possibility of a knife held behind her back. "If you wanted me, all you had to do was come over here and talk to me, y'know. No reason to be rude. And to be honest, I don't appreciate it, Chelsea. If you want respect, you have to earn it. You don't belittle other people for it. You don't say things to get them to leave."
"Is there something I could do for you?"
