Shay nibbled her lower lip when he pulled away. For a second she wondered if she'd somehow messed up. She took it in stride, trying not to think about it and continued playing along with... whatever this was.
"Hm," she huffed, twirling a strand of her hair with her free hand. She released his shirt and stood taller. Shay tried to look around him at the other boys. "Like what? What would you want."
William was white in the face, and his knees had given out, forcing the other boys to hold him up. His thin tail had wrapped around his waist, and he was shaking. Terrified.
As she moved away from him, his confidence returned. His uneasiness seemed to wash away once they were at least a foot from one another. Was it because of her looks, or just because it felt as if she was trying to upstage him? He would find out sooner or later. "Well..." His own question made him ponder, as the request was so open ended. "There are many things that I would like to have from you." Auden quickly eyed her up. "But the things is; what are you willing to give up for William?"
For a moment, Shay was perplexed by what he meant. How was she supposed to take t-- "Oh, you're sick!" Shay found herself stumbling away from it. And then, like that, all the tension of the Rosales name and everything she'd been going for was broken. The boys laughed at her. Her face was red with embarrassment and disgust.
Eroshay wrapped her arms around herself as if to cover any nudity. "Nothing like that," she spat.
Oh, so the girl was a pure little thing. Of course, Auden had to chuckle at her slow reaction time, as it seemed that his obvious intentions needed to be more out there. "Ah, what a shame then, you do seem like you'd be a good little toy to mess with." SO what if she was red faced and unhappy that they were all making fun of her evasiveness. Yes, maybe on the inside he understood why she was so, awkward. "So if you're not willing to give up your body for him, then what? Do you want me to start making up situations for you? Hmmmm?" There were a few that Auden could think of, but it all depended on if he wanted to use his powers on her. She was so sweet though, so maybe he should start off with something easy. "Perhaps, you could tell me your name then, is that innocent enough for you?"
Shay's face scrunched up in distaste. She was no one's toy. She was not prey. Not to anyone. She put her hands on her hips and stood like a scolding wife; one hip jutted out. She turned a cold stare onto the boys behind Auden, but they didn't stop laughing.
"My body is a little much to wager just to make sure someone doesn't get beaten up." Her fingers itched for her blade. How easy it would be just to -- no, no. She didn't need to think that way.
Shay breathed in deeply to calm herself down. "I'm Eroshay Rosales."
"Hm." That wasn't all that he was planning with him, but he would of course, not tell someone like her what small fact, at least not yet. There was no reason to let his little secret slip out. Though, when her name was dropped, the men behind him seemed to be more scared than surprised. 'I'm out dude!' One of them screamed before he ran off. What a wimp, he was definitely getting eaten later. "Eroshay Rosales... That does ring a bell. You're their daughter?" Oh how amazing this find was! He was interacting with a girl who's parents were almost like his idols for crime. "That's the best thing I've heard all day." With that, he turned away from the girl, towards the four remaining men + William. Taking a deep sigh, he shooed them off with a flick of his hand. They all ran in an instant, which dropped William to the ground. Poor thing (not really).
Turning away, the sly smile that was on his face as he fulfilled his part of this agreement. "My name is Auden Verchetty, Miss Rosales. So... I guess you really don't need to explain yourself? I understood the reason why you were there, obviously, though it's nice to finally put a face to the name."

Shay thought Auden was going to turn back and beat on William again when he didn't, and instead he dismissed his men, she relaxed. The second he was free, William bolted away, not even looking back to spare a thank you.
They were alone. That didn't feel right. They were alone, behind a building, and lunch would be over in fifteen minutes. Her mouth was dry, but Shay was lucky enough that the nervousness didn't show on her face. "You settled for a name," she said doubtfully. "You got rid of your bargaining chip. I hope you realize that means I don't even have to talk to you, anymore."
"But, I did make a deal, and I'll stick to it. I wasn't with Klaus at the gang shootout because I was his daughter. I didn't know him at the time. I just followed -- It doesn't matter. I found him and the scene, then he took me out to dinner and walked me back home."
Shay half turned, ready to leave their interaction at that, but paused and looked over her shoulder. "You've heard my name before?" She knew there were some rumors, but none of them had reached her ears. She imagined they weren't all bad, whatever they were.
Of course she didn't have to stay. Though there was a ting in him that wanted her to, that was mostly because he really wanted an excuse to not go back to class. "I didn't know I was that much of a bore." She was an almost perfect excuse too. Though, that wasn't what he focused on as they talked. "Hm? So that must have been an awkward meeting to just... stumble on something like that." At least it seemed that Klaus was a gentleman; or at least enough of one to convince Auden at that moment.
"I know your name, yes. I mean even the last name is enough for people to obviously-" he motioned to where William had been "think twice about even talking to you." Auden had heard a few harmful rumors about her, but he didn't care to repeat them unless she asked. "It's nothing too extreme, more so people talking about who you were and that you shouldn't be messed with."
