She teased him, and the Turkish man could feel his face grow warm. You’ve got a nice patch growing here, he said rather than get defensive. He was so used to acting flamboyantly, each and every emotion multiplied so it was easily read by others (whether or not the emotion was genuine being a different story), that it sometimes trickled into everyday interactions as well. He simply had a loud personality, although right now he had the urge to be quiet and subdued instead of saturated with unnecessary words and actions. Sometimes he forgot who the true Levent was, so often did he slip into his merchant’s persona. Even Wilson, his best friend, only knew about ninety percent of who he really was.

He hummed in acknowledgment when she stated her purpose for being here, but then silence spanned for a while. His blue eyes flickered back to her, and he smiled again after a moment, snorting lightly at himself. Just though I’d let you know, he said brazenly, I am currently staring at you in a way that can be considered creepy. His laughter was in his voice although he did not laugh, but he was grinning ear to ear as he realized how ridiculous he was being around her.
