“I am not a liar.” Ryan stated bluntly. He always tried to stay away from lying and he didn’t appreciate being called one. He had managed to clam himself down considerably though and hadn’t raised his voice the last time he spoke. It was just sort of stated. He was going to attempt to stay calm and not lose his temper anymore than he already had, though it was going to be difficult.
Registering that Trixi had loosened her grip a little he relaxed slightly. At least for the moment it appeared that he wasn’t going to be slammed into the wall again, for the time being anyways. He would still be cautious and ready if she did try and slam him again. He flinched a little when she yelled at him again. When was she going to learn? Not anytime soon, probably. She really did need to learn that if she asked nicely she would get more out of him then yelling in his face. “Why don’t you try asking politely?” he said plainly, “And who are ‘they’?” The last part had just clicked with them that she was always referring to a ‘they’ and he wanted to know who ‘they’ were. Who she was comparing him to.

"It never works!" Trixi said, she wasn't yelling now, probably led on by the fact Ryan hadn't yelled back at her. Altohugh she was still mad and that showed through in her voice. "No-one listen's when you ask nicely!" she said once more. That was her belief. Only her brother had really listened to her much. Although her parents did sometimes, but mostly parent's didn't like buying their child fireworks, no matter how nicely they asked.
Trixi's eyes narrowed as he asked 'who are they'. She knew who she had been referrring to, but she didn't want to tell him. Her life was her life. "Everyone!" said said suddenly. "They are everyone!" Yeah it sounded kinda funny but maybe he would believe her because she was angry. Most people didn't talk much sence when they were angry.

"That might be so, but no one normally listens when you scream at them either. It just puts them off and doesn't make them want to help you or do what you ask." He said with a shrug, well as much of a shrug that he could do with Trixi still having a grip on him. From his experience he got nothing from his mom or dad if he screamed at them what he wanted them to do or if he demanded them around. Nope he usually got in big trouble for that.
Everyone. That was an interesting statement. He would be willing to bet that she hadn't met 'everyone', but didn't want to be a smart alec at the moment. After all she did seem pretty upset still and he didn't want to belittle her into getting more upset. "Maybe the people you have been around don't, but you shouldn't assume that everyone is that way. You need to give people a chance before assume things about them." he said. He didn't know if she would take to kindly to him telling her what she sould do, but he couldn't help but say it.

"I know what I need to do!" Trixi said, anger flaring inside her again. "I need to make sure you keep your mouth shut!" Trixi wasn't keen on having people tell her what to do. She wasn't very trusting of people and people who tried to boss her around didn't go well with her. "When I scream people usually listen!" Trixi said still holding Ryan. It wasn't 100% true. Trixi never used to scream, not at her real mother, but after she had gone things just didn't go well for her and she screamed alot more. Her adopted parents tended not to push her around too much, knowing she had been through alot. Although her screaming at them didn't usually go down well.
Trixi glared at Ryan "Just say you wont tell!" Trixi said. She was not liking this conversation. Although if he did tell she would just tell everyone he wet his bed. That'd show him.

How did he guess that Trixi wouldn't take too kindly to being told what to do. He must have been a mind reader. Nah, he was just good at judging other people's personality and pretty much thought he had Tirxi's pinned down. "Yeah they probably do since it is really hard to listen to someone scream for so long. Eventually you get sick of it and have had enough." Ryan said calmly, "But what I'm getting at, is that I would be willing to bet that they aren't predesposed to listen to what you have to say. They are only listening to shut you up, not to really take into consideration what you want or what you are really feeling. I'm simply saying that there are better ways to go about it, that is all." Yes, he was giving her a lecture but that was keeping him from having to tell her again that he wasn't going to promise anything, until she could ask politely.

"I don't need you to lecture me!" Trixi yelled at Ryan, her grip tightening around his clothing once more. "Don't try and tell me what to do!" Trixi's anger had risen again. She had had too many people in her life tell her what to do and she didn't like anyone doing it any more. He had hit a notch and she was angry once more. "Why can't you just say you wont tell anyone!" She yelled at him. "Its not that hard!" Yeah it was obvious she was upset but thats the way it went really. He had brought it on himself really. Her hand that wasn't holding his clothing clenched in a fist once more and she raised it up slightly once more.

Ryan just cringed as she yelled in his ear. What was with the yelling? He wasn't deaf. Well he wasn't before they started this conversation. He might be now, however. Still trying to keep a straight face and stay calm he just listened for a moment. It was obvious that he had guessed right that she wouldn't take him lecturing well. He would have to make a note not to lecture or come off as lecturing any more. He could still get his opinion across he was sure without lecturing and would try that next time. "It's not that hard, but you need to ask me nice first." Ryan said, his voice raising a little. All he wanted was for her to stop yelling at him and ask him nicely. Was that too hard to ask? He didn't think so, but he might just have to give up and write her off as never going to ask politely.

Trixi's eyes narrowed, she was not going to giove into him now and ask politely, even if it was a fake politely. It would make him think he had won and that he could do it all the time. Nevar! That was not going to happen. "I'm not asking you I'm telling you!" Trixi said to him, she wasn't yelling but her voice was loud. It was amazing they hadn't attacted the attention of some of the other people in this place yet. Especially that shop keeper. "Just say you wont tell!" trixi was firm about her words. She wasn't going to ask now, not now that thing's had gotten so far, it would be like giving it. She never gave in.

"Well if you aren't asking, but telling then I don't have to answer, right?" Ryan said trying really hard to be nice, but he couldn't resist the chance to say it. He just wanted her to learn some manners, but it didn't look like that was going to happen at the moment. Deciding that he might as well give in because she seemed way to stubborn to he said, "I was never going to tell anyone and I don't know why you ever thought I was going to." Yes he was giving in but he was sick of the whole incident. It had gotten out of hand and shouldn't have escalated as far as it had. After all it was just a simple request.

Trixi would have smacked him for being a smart alec again had he not then decided to tell her what she wanted to hear. As he said that he wouldn't tell anyone Trixi let go of him and stepped backwards. A slightly triumphant feeling came over her because it did mean that she had won. However she didn't let this show. "Everyone always tells everyone everything" Trixi said to Ryan, now talking as though nothing had happened, although a note of discouragement was in her voice. She looked away up to the main alleyway. "I don't think he followed us" she said to him, quite normally.

Ryan was relieved when Trixi released him. He was trying his best not to let the incedent annoy him and get to him, but you could tell he wasn't as happy as he was when they had started the little adventure. How could he be? He had been chased out of a store by and irrate store keeper and then slammed up against a wall, by a girl no less. "I'll have to remember that." Ryan said straightening his shirt. He didn't know what to think. She was going to act like nothing had taken place, huh? Well he didn't know if that would work for him or not. He didn't like to hold things agaist people or hold grudges but it was a little too soon for him to just act like nothing had happen. On the other hand, he wasn't going to berate her or get upset. Nope. He would just go quieter than normal. Yep. That was his normal reaction and he wasn't going to deviate from it now. "It wouldn't appear so." he said, rather stiffly.

Trixi could tell he wasn't exactly too pleased with her, but who would be? She didn't mind, she knee how to handle it. It wouldn't be too hard. "Come on" she said grabbing his hand. Not at all in a rough way or anything but in a way befitting someone as though leading a friend through a large crowd. She knew the way out of this place. "Lets go find diagon alley and go get an ice cream" She would come back to this area later it looked decent and she decided she could probably find some interesting stuff in some of these shops, if given half a chance. "My favorite ice cream flavor is lime" she said to him, for once in her life, telling the truth.

He was rather alarmed when she grabbed his hand, wondering what on earth he had done this time, but was releived that she wasn't attempting to beat him up again. He had just decided to go with the flow and let her lead him to where ever she was going. When she said diagon alley he was happy. He really didn't want to be stuck in this alley for very much longer and would be glad to go back to Diagon Alley, where at least he knew where he sort of was. "Ice cream is good." he said as she dragged him this way and that.His voice had lost a bit of it's stiffness, but a hint was still there. He wasn't going to just forgive and forget in five minutes. Nope. It took him longer than that. "Lime is good, but my favorites are the chocolate kinds." he said with a trace of a smile.

Trixi grinned, having led him up the alley and around a croner they suddenly came to the entrance to diagon alley once more. "See I knew the way" she said happily leading him out of the gates and then relesing hold of him. "You should try lime and chocolate" Trixi said to Ryan as she began to make her way towards the icecream store. "Or chocolate and lime if you perfer chocolate more" Trixi had, for the moment, forgot she was supposed to be tricking him. She was talking to him like she would have spoke to someone back before her mother had passed away. She didn't realise it of course. She would go back to being devious again soon.

Ryan was happy to see that Trixi had, indeed, knew how to get back to Diagon Alley. He was sure that his dad wasn't going to be that happy with him if he found out where he had ran off to. He just wasn't going to tell him and hope that his dad thought that he had been in one of the stores the entire time. That was when he actually went to go and meet back up with him that he would tell him this. For the time being he still had some free time before the time that he had agreed to meet back up with his dad and an ice cream sounded like the perfect way to spend the remaining time. "I think I might have to try the chocolate and lime." Ryan said following Trixi to the ice cream store and thinking that that combination sounded pretty good to him at the moment. "What are you going to get?" he inquired with a small smile.
