It seemed things were just getting worse, worse and worse and what did Michael expect from her? Madison was almost as annoyed as she was starting to get uncomfortable. Some people just had no consideration for others and their schedul! Ok, so it wasn't like she had a lot on her list of things to do, but Madison didn't need time to even consider if she had something more pressing then standing around watching some guy choking for no apparent reason.. Though just before Madison could give way to a more sincere concern, it seemed that Michael had sorted himself out. Well, at least he sounded as if he was able to breath again, the sudden gasps of air was proof of that.
“Good god” The voice was shaken, but slowly growing steadier, give it time and he'd recover fully, Madison just took that as a no to the needing of medical assistance. ”that was….” Madison tilted her head slightly, her fingers subconsiously smoothening out her top, as if doing so would somehow flatten out the sliced fabric and make it all sawn together again. The feral didn't notice she was doing it, but even Madison didn't like the idea that someone randomly freaked out as soon as they looked at her.
"unexpected….Though I suppose after the past few days it was bound to happen sometime. Like a mental furball waiting to be coughed up. I’m just sorry you had to watch me do it." There was a slight shrug, an attempt to look disinterested and for the most part it worked, though her eyes trailed over Michael's form as if to take one last glance to make sure everything had settled down.
"Maybe you haven't noticed, but considering where I've grown up, I've seen a lot worse things get coughed up." There was a pause in her expression, though slowly it warmed up again to her usual smirky self, trying to shrug off the situation without looking as if she was trying to move away from what had just happened too quickly. "Though in future, if you want a girl to change her top, that's probably not the best approach to take..." Madi's tease was easily able to be taken for the light hearted shrug off of the awkward situation, but she didn't mean it to be. "..You don't have to get something to eat with me... I'll need to eat though, or I'll turn cannible." There was a wicked little grin as she added. "And then I'll really have you screaming."

Re: Dangerous Liasons.
He had been warned not to expect kindness from this girl and yet so far that was all she had offered him. In her own distinctive way that was. Because from where he was standing, shakily to be sure, but standing all the same, her casual brushing off of his panic attack was nothing less than kind.
"Maybe you haven't noticed, but considering where I've grown up, I've seen a lot worse things get coughed up." she told him the faint hint of concern he thought he had seen in her dark eyes replaced now by the sarcastic humour Michael was starting to associate with her. "Though in future, if you want a girl to change her top, that's probably not the best approach to take..."
He gave her a wry smile in return for the comment, the now easily accessed air bringing strength back into his body and colour back into his cheeks. . "..You don't have to get something to eat with me... she went on but not in such a way as he felt that she was actively trying to get rid of him, which given his less than impressive performance so far was nothing short of a miracle. “ I'll need to eat though, or I'll turn cannible." Madison told him, wickedly adding "And then I'll really have you screaming”
Michael drew himself up with obviously self mocking seriousness and said with a straight face even if his eyes were laughing. “Hey.. technically I haven’t screamed as of yet. Stuttered yes…bled over you.. yep done that as well…given my world famous impersonation of a deflating football, think I just covered that one but screamed…..” He smiled now and shrugged “I was thinking of saving that for a later date…. After all a guy has to keep something up his sleeve otherwise people will lose interest “
But that aside…… a trip to the canteen sounds good to me. I’m pretty famished myself. “ It was true. The exercise Hood had taken in his place may have exhausted his body but it had sharpened his appetite and not even the terrifying experience of a few moments ago had done anything to change that. Indeed his body was just trying to accept the fact that food was now available on demand and in his opinion failing miserably.
Every time the first pangs of hunger set in it still had a tendency to begin stressing just in case they wouldn’t be satisfied as they so seldom had been in the long months of his imprisonment and it had to be said that his recent illness hadn’t exactly helped him get back in the normal swing of things. Yes food was certainly high on his must do list. As was spending some more time with Madison since she hadn’t exactly sent him packing.
“And to be honest I’d be glad of the company” he told her sincerely. “This is the first time Ive been let lose I the school on my own and though I hate to admit it…. despite the fact that I invited you to the canteen…… you’ll have to lead the way. Because you see I haven’t the faintest idea where it is!
Re: Dangerous Liasons.
As Michael spoke, Madi felt at first impatient that the guy misunderstood the fact she said she'd make him scream, not she'd make him continue to scream. One thing Logan's eldest of the two daughters in his care currently hated, was when people didn't get what she was saying. Luckily for Michael, at least in Madison's own opinion she had worse cases of ignorance to measure against Michael's, so he didn't seem as irritating in the end. “I was thinking of saving that for a later date…. After all a guy has to keep something up his sleeve otherwise people will lose interest" A wicked smile flashed across Madison's features, folding her arms and feeling that for once a guy knew the bare fact of things... people got boring, and if they were boring, Madison wasn't at all interested.
"But that aside…… a trip to the canteen sounds good to me. I’m pretty famished myself." And so was she, Madison inwardly grumbled as she bent to scoop up the backpack that had been set aside with her waters, taking one bottle and havig a refreshing mouthful of water. “And to be honest I’d be glad of the company” A lot tended to say that to her though, so it wasn't really the most impressive of things to hear, all that stopped her from sighing was the simple fact that unlike a great many, there wasn't the over powering stench of testosterone in his comment. “This is the first time Ive been let lose I the school on my own and though I hate to admit it…. despite the fact that I invited you to the canteen…… you’ll have to lead the way. Because you see I haven’t the faintest idea where it is!"
"Don't worry too much about it," The tanned beauty began with a tone that hinted towards her oncoming taunt. "Considering the brain power of most guys, the fact you managed to not only get down here, but use a bow and arrow too, it's relatively impressive." As general as that statement seemed, there were definitely key figures that popped into her mind. Though if anyone dared throw that back towards her brother or father then Madison wouldn't hesitate in definding her family honour, even if she never thought of it like that.
For people who didn't know Madison well, which.. ended up being quite a few, it was hard to realize that just because she flirted like mad and wasn't shy of her body, Madison was still rather careful with who she took to bed. Ok, there was the two or three no names she met at the night clubs after her rather painful break up with Lachlan Summers, but that wasn't something she felt was anyone's business or important enough to dwell on. Not that Lachlan ever cared to ask her how she was doing. Jerk.
With a distracted look about her as she scolded her thoughts, Madison turned to make her way out, shrugging her bag onto her shoulders and flicking her hair free from the straps as she walked.

Re: Dangerous Liasons.
His rather unimpressive admission didn’t meet with the scorn he felt it had probably deserved. But then Madison rarely reacted the way he expected her too so maybe this shouldn’t have come as a surprise. Never the less it did. And a rather pleasant one at that. "Don't worry too much about it," she told him before adding with a mischievous smile Considering the brain power of most guys, the fact you managed to not only get down here, but use a bow and arrow too, it's relatively impressive."
It was an insult to his gender…. but… Michael blinked as Madison turned and picked up her bag….. was there a hint of a compliment in it for him? Surely not! After all at least in his own estimation he had singularly failed to shine. Still the young Scot felt a grin spread over his face as he started out after Connors sister. Maybe her low opinion of men in general actually worked in his favour. After all it meant that he didn’t have a very high standard to try to live up to now did he?
And when you took everything into consideration , even if the execution had left a lot to be desired.. Michael groaned inwardly as he thought of his wayward hormones and even more wayward terrors…in the end he had accomplished what he had set out to do. Heck he had even done better than he had dared hope for.
When he had started out looking for Madison he had had no clear idea of what exactly he could do for her if indeed he could do anything. All he had known was that he wanted to try to help. And he thought that he might just have done that in some strange way. Even if only by giving her someone to alternately yell at and tease.
In any case he had done as Riley said. He had stuck with her, taking the rough with the smooth. Or well. Michael grinned again.. lets say the not so rough! Though to be honest Madison had been remarkably understanding considering all the weirdness he had thrown her way. And now here she was consenting to eat with him at the canteen! It was nothing short of a miracle. But one that Michael was more than happy to accept.
For after all, if you had to make your debut in a new school there were a lot worse ways to do it than turn up at the canteen accompanied by a beautiful girl. Michael gave a contented sigh as he followed Madison out into the corridor, his tiredness and discomfort momentarily forgotten.. Oh yes. There were lots of worse ways!
