Akarli exclaimed as she turned to face Jericho who was caught glaring at her through the sides of his eyes "What's your problem?" she asked him taking the boy by surprise"What'd you mean what's my problem?" Jericho repeated what she said acting as natural about being caught as he possibly could"I mean why have you been looking at me like some creep for a minute now" she responded with an ice cold stare back at Jericho, a face which she had been wearing for a long time now hardly showing much emotions just like how Jericho had been before encountering Jeremiah who seemed to have been a positive influence in his change of personality*SHRUG*"I don't know, I guess I just see myself in you somehow... I mean you remind me of how I used to be a while back" Jericho suddenly looked dejected when out of nowhere as if he knew what was happening inside his bonded partner's mind Jeremiah jolted and hugged Jericho sticking his face far enough that both the

"Umm nothing" Jeremiah said with a straight poker face which was attribute to how much an excellent liar he was and poetically was what made officer Bearl interested in him in the first place when they met three years ago"We were just thinking about what way we were going to compete against ourself again to break the tie" His transition from doing something sneaky to concealing the truth after being approached about said thing with a surprise was professional level"Hmm!"
