Normally, Lyle was one to rebound from shock fairly quickly, coming back strong with a quip and a smirk. But this had been so unexpected, it was taking a moment. Worse still, it was starting to build up to something that looked like it was getting out of control. Vinnie looked confused, and not the kind of confused where he was wondering why the hell Tiger and Lyle had just locked lips (that was the kind of confusion the vampire felt), but the kind of confusion where he was wondering if some huge secret had been kept from him for some time. Lyle didn't want to make Vinnie feel uncomfortable, or left out, or betrayed. And he didn't really know what Tiger was feeling right now. But this was snowballing into something crazy.
Which made Lyle start laughing. It didn't even build up, it just burst forth from him like an exploded dam. It was loud, and genuine, and he couldn't stop once it had started. "I can't... fucking believe... you did that!" he said between giggles, shoving Tiger's shoulder gently. "That's gonna be forever burned in my brain!!"
