Jay shifted, clearly made uncomfortable by the accusation. Not that it was a crime or whatever, but the very idea was absurd.
Something clawed at the back of his mind, however. Like an itch he couldn't quite scratch. He was thinking about it when a brightness popped into being. He flinched at the sudden presence of fire, despite the apparent safe distance. But settled quickly enough. Nox's smile attempted to be soothing, but as Jay peered into the gently rolling flames, a grin slowly grew on himself. Into a daring one.
"Alright, Nox. I'll bet you a hundred bucks you're wrong. Hundred bucks and the loser has to run through the mansion naked and yelling 'I'm a pretty little girl.'"
He laughed and stood up. That fire was still sparked, so he kept a wary eye on it, but mostly on the unpredictable man that controlled it.
Taking a longer drink of beer before setting it aside, he wished for something stronger for the first time that night. Liquid courage and all that.
However Nox said he could prove it, Jay was ready if Nox was.

Only darkness shows you the light.
