She met his eyes with a fiery gaze.
"Oh, I was just thinking. Nothing special." She said airily.
You're lucky I'm not hiding a dagger in my skirts or some such thing, or I'd backstab you.

"Nothing special, my arse," he grumbled to himself, turning away slowly.
They arrived in the lobby, the hotel receptionist's eyes still boggling out of her head at the sight of his gleaming rifle, and strode on towards the glass double doors, one of which Sid courteously held open for Anastasia. He released his grip upon her arm and grasped the small of her back instead.

She tried, with her eyes, to telegraph to the receptionist that she was in danger and needed help, but Anastasia had no idea if the woman behind the counter even understood what the glance meant--and then it was too late, as Anastasia and Sid were both outside now.
She felt a brief moment of icy panic, wondering where she would end up and what would happen when someone found Christian in the hotel room.
Christian...
It took a lot of effort not to burst into tears.

"You're not seriously grieving over that pitiful mess back there, are you?" he inquired, jabbing a thumb in the general direction behind them. "If anything, I've done you a huge favor."

"I'd drop the subject right now if I were you." She hissed.
"I may not be armed but I could still hurt you."

"Hey--I can do anything I want. I'm not the one being held hostage here."
He cocked a brow.

She very, very tempted to punch him, but somehow managed to contain herself enough not to do it.
"Just keep going." She said through gritted teeth.
Now was not a good time to get into a fight.

"Well--" he scratched his chin, "--the problem here is that I still have to figure out where to take you. You know, where you'll be completely quiet and comply to my irrational, ruthless demands."

"I somehow get the feeling that you will make it easy on me."
He angled his head towards his rifle.

"It takes more than guns to cow a person..." She sighed.
"Wherever we're going, it should probably be soon unless you want city patrols to see you."
She was only guessing at the city patrols, as she really didn't have a lot of knowledge of Paris, and she'd only seen police a few times while here. Most of her time away from Russia had been spent in either Lorien or Persia.

"Don't be absurd. Of course there aren't any city patrols here."
Although his tone suggested that he wasn't too sure about that.
"In any case, where do you want to stay? You can take your pick," he informed her, widely gesturing around them, while maintaining a solid grasp upon her wrist. "As long as I've got enough money--"

She gave him a look that basically said, Are you kidding?
"Doesn't matter where I end up, it'll still be a cage of a sort."
She shrugged, though, as she eyed the street around them.
"I dunno. I've heard the police can be pretty diligent..."

He shifted the position of his rifle into the crook of his arm, and buried his now free hand into his trousers pocket, fumbling around for an extra cigarette and lighter.
"If you were hoping to scare me, you just failed."

"Whatever! I'm through talking to you!" She snapped.
Her irritation had slowly been increasing, and it was only now that it finally had overflowed. She kicked him in the shin.
"Do something!"
