"What, you mean like the effort I put in earlier? When I took care of this myself and ended up gettin tied to this chair cause no one believed me at the time?" Red'd bite back, annoyance in his voice. He could understand why she might have been annoyed with his little rant since....yeah, he was kinda venting his feelings from earlier at her. But that didnt mean she got to tell him he didnt put any effort into taking care of himself. He'd literally already solved the problem earlier by just popping into a pharmacy. Hell, he'd had fuckin three sets of bandages and cleaning stuff applied to it at this point. Hell, he'd been taking care of himself since he came to this country.....Ah, fuckin....Just forget it.
"Well actua---AACKT" Hunter would cough, having accidentally swallowed a small piece of the lolipop in his mouth that he'd absentmindedly chewed off. It was only stuck for a couple seconds before goin down like normal, after patting on his chest a couple times, but man did it suck.....But atleast he might have an explanation for his deeper voice now. Cause man his throat was gonna hurt for a few seconds till the candy kicked in to fix that. Man these were fuckin handy.
"S-sorry about that, bit a piece off. Anyway. Technically speaking, Im doing neither. I didnt remember what happened for a little bit, actually.....Lemme attempt to explain it." He'd start to say, rubbing the back of his head like Red did.....God even the mannerisms were carrying over....just what the hell happened in England? Had the dumbarse getting with Yumi actually.....broken them or something? Or was Red burying so much that he was starting to become a person?....God this was fucking confusing, better off ignoring it until this stuff is over and done with.
"When I woke up under the tree, I didnt remember anything of last night. Hell, All I knew was that I went for a walk and then ended up in a park. So, When people asked me what had happened, I just told em the truth. Its like uhhh.......Well, in a fight, when you take a punch that can knock you on your arse, sometimes you dont realise what happened. One minute you're throwing a punch, the next you are on the floor, unable to understand what happened until someone explains it to you. Like i said, this isnt the first time this has happened. It slowly comes back to me after a couple hours or so, usually. Plus being tied to a chair gives you a lot of time to think about what happened to get you in that kinda situation. Especially when you have a fork coming at your face for a bit. Really jogs the memory, ya know?
As for lying to you, well....you didnt ask. Sure, technically im lying by way of omission, but I figured it was better to just do what you told me to do so I didnt end up wasting too much of your time....sorry about that, by the way." He'd finish off his very awkward, Red like explaination of what happened. Sure, he was trying to change the subject, but he wasnt actively lying. Some of it might have been half truths but the account was mostly accurate.....He didnt know how much of that Angie would actually bloody believe, though.
Still....it looked like his previous attempt to divert from having to actually deal with their problems that totally didnt exist had not gone completely terribly. She was willing to believe everything about the---Reds parents since.....well, he'd already explained how he had to raise himself and his sister a few times, so that atleast was truthful....but he was gonna have to call their---Reds sister. A woman who was currently in a co---doing completely fine up wherever their parents trip was.....despite the fact she was very unreachable for some reason.....Though he could use that to his advantage.
"....You clearly overestimate how much I care about you telling the principel. You know I live in detention, right?" Hunter'd bluntly state, staring Angie directly in the eyes with a blank experession on his face, idling spinning the lolipop in his mouth. He'd had to deal with those talks for years, that wouldnt be anything new. Besides, he knew what the self defense rules were. Not that he'd get off scot free, obviously, but he doubted he'd get expelled over defending himself. Hell, he literally had a record of this kinda stuff to look back on if they needed evidence of Kazama comin at him every fuckin day.
"But eh, might as well. I will tell ya though, dont be surprised if she doesnt pick up. She doesnt even pick up for me sometimes. Probably cause she's either asleep or forgot to charge it or somethin like that. She's a bit of a dumbarse....runs in the family, i think." He'd shrug, taking her phone and diailing in a phone number to call his sister....except it wasnt his sisters phone. See, They had a ace in the hole here....Reds work phone. Angie didnt know his sisters phone number, obviously, and Red didnt have her number in his phone. He didnt need it in there, he had it memorised since she was one of the three people he ever had to call on a regular basis. Pretty easy to just memorise em and differeniate by the last couple numbers.
"....Yuuuupp. Unreliable as ever." He'd sit there, having gone to the default voicemail on work phone and hanging up. He'd redial it a few times, just to make sure that his "sister" wasnt gonna pick up, and just sat there. His work phone was an older model, just so he didnt have to deal with it on his custom flip phone, and it was usually in his pocket so he had it on vibrate. Sound was for his normal phone, to tell the difference in priority. Last night though, he'd left in in the garage and put it on silent, since he didnt wanna be bothered by anyone so....Even with Angies super senses, he doubted she'd be able to tell.
"You uhhh....want me to leave a message to call you back? Lookin like she isnt gonna pick up."
