Chase stood in the entrance hall, shoulders propped against one broad stone wall, and watched the students mill around. His mind wasn't on them though. It was on the masquerade, and all the things that one night had managed to drag into the light. He'd considered heading outside, but right now, he needed distraction more than solitude, and this was enough.

Vannah had been on her way outside, twirling her wand carelessly in her hand. She stopped a few feet away from Chase. He looked so spaced out. Her lips curved into a smirk. She noticed a small rock inches away from his feet and pointed her wand at it. "Confringo!" She hissed causing the rock to create a loud explosion at his feet. She quickly tucked her wand back in its usual place. Maybe that would wake him up.

Chase reflexively jumped, but after the momentary sound and the flecks of gravel against the leg of his jeans, he'd identified the source of the noise. His eyes narrowed slightly as he turned his head, looking for whoever had exploded the rock. His eyes caught on Vannah and narrowed further. For once, he didn't verbally taunt her; the glare was enough.

His expression when he jumped from the explosion was priceless enough to make her laugh. She took a few steps closer. "Bravo, Chase." She said, her smirk returning. His glare was probably supposed to make her shut up, or even leave. But for some reason she was in a good mood. "You really should be more careful where you stand."

"I can stand wherever the hell I want, Vannah." As she approached, Chase's eyes slipped down her form, slowly, then back up. His eyes met Vannah's at last. "If you wanted my attention so desperately, you should have just asked," he said, focusing his annoyance into physical awareness.

His annoyance had become obvious by then. So much in fact she probably should have stopped, but she didn't. It was too much fun to stop it now. "Of course you can, I was just saying you should be more careful." She shrugged.

She hadn't at all risen to his bait. He decided to try again. "Either way, you got what you wanted, sweetheart. My attention is all yours." He let a smirk creep across his lips. "So what are you going to do with me?" he asked.

Vannah's expression was confused until she registered it. She took a step closer, closing in the gap and leaned on her tip-toes so her face was close to his. She could feel the warmth of his breath. At the last moment she turned her head so it was next to his ear and whispered, "You're pathetic."

Chase's eyes narrowed again. Vannah's words had fallen short of true offense simply because his constant suggestive behavior toward her was a game. Still, he found her barb annoying. Chase didn't move closer to Vannah, but neither did he pull back. "And you're a bitch," he murmured, the words purposefully soft, the sound of them a caress of breath against her neck. "You're so sexy when you're irritated, kitten."

Vannah pulled back and brought her hand up and slapped his cheek hard in a quick movement. "And you're an dumbass." She said without bothering to lower her tone.

The force of her blow turned Chase's head, his cheek burning where her hand had met it. His eyes blazed as he turned back to Vannah, as his gaze locked onto hers, jaw locking with tension. He was half blinded by the desire to retaliate, but resisted, his fingers curling into his palms with the effort. He didn't speak.

The shock of what she had done showed on her face. Her eyes widened and her jaw dropped a little and she took a step back. "I...I..." She willed the word to come out, Sorry "I...can't believe I just did that." She said mumbling the last part to herself. She turned her head and wouldn't look at him.

Chase's fiery glare didn't ease with Vannah's shock or muttered disclaimer. "If you want me to leave you alone, there's easier ways to do it," he said, his voice low, nearly a growl. "I'm not your f~ing toy, Vannah. Go find someone else to play with." Chase pushed away from the wall and sidestepped Vannah, intending to walk away before she could bait him any further.

Vannah stared after him, her eyes narrowed. She didn't need him anyways. She turned on her heel and went off in the opposite direction.
