"Just because you're jealous doesn't mean you have to speak about Natalie that way." Keiro snaps at Attia.
Attia and Keiro had been some sort of couple for two months until Keiro had found a new "playtoy" a week after he hadn't showed up in Attia's room one night, which had caused their relationship to fall apart. This led to Attia insulting Natalie whenever she could.
"Jealous?" Attia questioned, "Why should I be jealous of some whore you found walking around Court drunk as hell?"
She immediately stands up from her chair and starts towards the doors, wanting to get away from Keiro as soon as possible. Not long after, she hears heavier footsteps following behind her.
Keiro grabs hold of her wrist and turns her around to face him. "You know, not every woman I meet is drunk to begin with.
"Really? That's kind of hard to believe." Attia's voice dripping with coldness.
"It would be easier if you just told me what bothers you so much!"
"Nothing bothers me. You can do whatever you want and I wouldn't give a single fuck. Besides, it's not new for you to just leave people behind once you've gotten what you want."
Before Attia has time to react, Keiro slaps Attia across the face, causing her to fall to the ground. Several of Attia's guards quickly grab hold of Keiro while the rest attend to Attia.
As Keiro thrashes to get free, he yells, "Everything isn't my fault you know! You're the one who started bitching about things and won't even admit that something bothers you. What is it that you want to hear?! That out of all the other women at Court, you're my last choice? Is that it?!"
Keiro's expression quickly softens and his anger disappears once he sees tears roll down Attia's cheeks.
"A-Attia...I didn't mean-" Keiro stammers, but doesn't continue when Attia quickly rushes out of the room, leaving Keiro feeling immense stabs of guilt.
He looks down at his hand and is shocked to see how red it is. He hadn't meant to hit Attia that hard but his anger lost control. All he thinks about at this moment is Attia.
