Rialto's face soured at the flippant remark. "What? I'm not jealous[i]," he complained, jealously, and stuck his nose up in the air. "There's just some people that are more charming, more attractive, and..." He gave Alex a long once-over. "A more... angelic... whatever." And he huffed. Like a jealous person.
Was it hard to get more angelic than Alex? No.
Unfortunately, Alex and Rialto were at a deadlock.
The decidedly [i]more charming, more attractive and about equally vampiric Rialto shook it off, though with much deliberate effort, and raised his brows without a trace of fear at the stranger's next bluff. He was going to call it a bluff, because certainly they'd know what hit them if there was one person behind them once they turned their back; only, it was all too easy in these times to underestimate true threats simply on the grounds of one's own arrogance. One person could be an army. For that reason - if nothing else - Rialto never lowered his guard below where he could see it. His gaze shifted briefly to Alex, when the tension became a touch more palpable, before flitting back to the snake once it moved; its movements liquid, sinuous, tongue tasting the air.
Maybe snake charmer as an epithet wasn't far off. It was obvious, but the reptile seemed wholly at peace on their perch.
Rialto hesitated for the briefest second at the name, something confused and, somehow, sharply indistinct flashing into his senses; nothing became of it, and so Rialto only made to lean against Alex's standing form. Out of mind. They were still tense, hence he took the initiative to continue the conversation. The thing about being a witch probably necessitated them all sitting down to hear about. "Great. We can be a walking museum," he commented, gesturing between all of them with another faintly blossoming grin. "Could turn a huge profit. What do you need most; a drink, aspirin, or someone to patch that up?" He then circled a finger over his own eye to illustrate, and gave Alex's sleeve a discreet tug to get the two of them walking with the witchling following after. "You can only pick two of three, Mister Toji."
