["So that's the goddess you passed up." Icarus mutters with a smirk. It's directed at Baroona but the rest of the group reacts–douglas snickers, Gohu looks away, Ares' frown pulls lower. Baroona, on the surface, remains fine. But there are small hints–a downward pull at his lips, a stiffening of his posture, and (the most obvious) a short glare shot from the side of his eyes at the king. He blows out a puff of air.]
I didn't do anything.
["That's basically the same thing, isn't it?" Another twitch of a frown; Icarus smirks in triumph, keeping his eyes trained on Mikoto. Baroona follows suit–he has since the moment she walked in–convincing himself that he's watching her actions in a professional sense, not a personal one. Icarus, to his chagrin, continues with a shrug. "Your loss. She's pretty easy on the eyes. Someone'll snatch her up pretty soon." For a moment, Baroona's grip tightens but it passes quickly. He looks away casually (though keeps Mikoto in the corner of his eyes).]
She's too dense for something like that.
["doesn't mean no one will try. Hell–" Icarus laughs. "–I think I might try my hand." At this, all the mercenaries glance towards the king as he steps off his throne. Baroona moves the furthest and fastest, stopping short only when Icarus holds up a hand. "You boys can wait here." Reluctantly and with gritted teeth, Baroona allows himself to be pulled back by douglas and Gohu, left to watch while Icarus approaches the group of suitors already starting to surround Mikoto.]
