The Tangle but it was met with some disdain

he was positively relieved when she sat her very intimidating self down, though the news she shared troubled him. he wasn't aware she was furi's interest, and vice versa, but he believed they shared a commonality and stupidly he blurted out "hey, me too!" as if it was a good thing to be dumped -- in ingram's eyes, it wasn't exactly, but anything to get blixen to stop staring him down with those hard-as-diamond eyes, right?

"a while ago, but still." he continued, though as blixen almost pleaded with him to be a jack-ass he rolled his shoulders again and scrunched his brow as he thought of how to placate her need for fighting. killing something, maybe? just preferably not him?

"umm.. okay." he said, squinting at her as he tried to find some fault to pick at, or something to elicit a response (don't worry, he was very prepared to run). "you... you have scary eyes...?" in the end, he couldn't do it -- mostly because even though she was in essence an enemy, she hadn't done anything to him -- and wylla's absence was more concerning to him presently than picking fights with the neighbors.
