Was Arden blushing? Yes, that was definitely pink coloring her cheeks and it just made Ice grin more when he realized it. Why was she the blushing one in this situation? If he remembered right - and since it had only happened just under a minute ago and he had a really good memory he was pretty sure he did - then she was the one who had pulled him into her car, so if either of them should be a little embarrassed then it should be him for going along so easily. Then again, who would blame him, really? "In my line of work, if you get kidnapped then you know it," he countered, finally settling his bag to his satisfaction and leaning back, clipping his seatbelt into place. That said nothing about what he thought about Arden's driving, just habit from being with Omega for so long. "Because one minute you're carrying along, minding your business, and then you either can't see anything because your head is covered in a bag, you've been spelled or you wake up a few hours with a really bad headache and a nicely sized lump on the back of your head." Ice grinned in a way that would hopefully make her think that she was kidding when really he was dead serious. "You do have this thing for red," he noticed, reaching forward and fishing out a lollipop that was not cherry, blueberry it looked like. Pulling off the wrapper he popped the thing in and rolled it over into his cheek.
'What?' Rafiki blinked as he freed his banana from the peel and started to eat it happily, his eyes huge as he looked up at Arden. 'I'm going to eat the whole thing! I won't leave it in the car!' That sometimes he could be a bit messy in the process was... not exactly on the little baboon's mind at the moment. Ice was conveniently forgetting it, himself.
"He's usually pretty good about eating the whole thing." The witch's mind had almost been entirely diverted from the magic going on at the high school that he wanted to see so badly. Almost. Except it was still niggling around at the back of his mind. Only there was a really pretty redhead sitting right over in the driver's seat and she had pulled him off the seat and she was really pretty... she was seriously winning out. She had also touched him. True, it was to fix the vest that had gotten messed up when he had fallen into the car, but her hand had still been on his chest and that was what he was choosing to remember, the touching, not the why. When he re-told this to the members of Omega later, that would be what was mentioned. "So Arden, is there any particular reason behind today's pick-up or could you just not resist when you saw me walking down the street looking all handsome?" No, Ice could not help himself when he was in a good mood. Or, come to think of it, when he was in a bad mood either. "If there's not an exact reason then we should swing by the high school and I can show you some really cool magic. Just for five, ten minutes." If a pretty girl was nearby, Ice might even be able to remember to pull himself away before he skipped too many meals. "Then you can continue with your alleged kidnapping and I can make sure Rafiki doesn't banana up your car."
