Melantha walked past the scene without so much as batting an eye. She was places to be, women to see, and she wasn't about to let something to trivial-- at least, in her opinion-- sway her from her destination as she strutted down the side of the road. Though, she sent an amused glance to the person flying past her, pushing through the crowd as if fleeing from someone else. And, they might as well be, considering that they seemed to have slammed into... several people.
The young woman sneered, coming to a halt when she heard the stammering voice behind her. She turned to look up at the other party, offering him a shrug and maintaining that pompous smirk of hers. Calling the stranger a jerk was the least Aiden could do, in her humble opinion, and she... would have done the most, should she had been the one getting knocked over.
"I did, and it was funny, you know?" scoffed Melantha, "Talking to me about it tells me you're probably not gonna stick up for yourself the next time it happens." She turned, staring in the direction of where the perpetrator fled.
"If it were me they ran into, I wouldn't be talking about it to someone else." she boasted, "I'd just tackle him to the fucking ground." And with that, she gave him her unnecessary advice, "Next time that happens, you should just slug them in the face. You're pretty, tall, you know. And you look a bit on the muscly side. You could do it."
Huh. Wonder which relative she gets it from.
Melantha, who rarely had to wait for anything in her short, noble life, stood behind the other party. She tapped her foot, picked at her fingernails, glared at the floor. She wasn't paying too much attention to the line, mostly because it really was taking forever in her mind, as melodramatic as ever.
But then, as she flicked the skin from a hangnail off her finger, wincing as she did, she looked up to find the line looking a bit spotty. The obnoxious foot-tapping continued, growing louder with each second that passed. She bit the inside of her cheek, her eyebrows furrowed as she peeked over the person in front of her. Goddamn it, the space between them and the next person was huge-- or, it was to her.
Now, while she could cut in front of the other party, something told her to go for the arguably more polite route of calling them out, stamping her foot on the ground as a toddler would do.
"I didn't know there could ever be something slower than a snail." she said to them, a bit too loudly, "But some of us are hungry, so can you move?"
