Aurelia
as if you were on fire
from within
from within
The bottle that swings through the air isn't unnoticed - nor unexpected - but she still doesn't dip out of the way in time. Small space, not much room to dive out of the way...
"Ow! Damn, Jack!"
It fell a bit short of Jack's aim, at least, popping against the bone of her shoulder and ricocheting into a shelf, scattering whatever is there onto the floor. She arches a brow over at him, bringing one hand up to rub the pain away. "Well! I'd say I'm sorry, but I don't really want to now," she retorts with a toothy wince she directs at the sore spot on her arm. Her eyes don't miss the hand that reaches for another bottle, though.
One of her hands sneaks into the box and, suddenly, a piece of wood goes whizzing for Jack's chest.
"Alright, alright! Cut it out! Eye for an eye!" She lifts her palms up in front of her chest and face, partly to show she was empty-handed and also to block anymore flying objects. There's a nervous chuckle that begins in her throat as she shuffles back behind his desk (again, to shield herself). "If you'd calm down, I could explain."
