[ Slow motion horror plays across Steve's face as the ball sails through the air, smacking the guy hard in the back of the head and causing him to stumble forward. He turns, confusion and anger flickering across his expression. He grabs for the ball, making like he's going to come at her. ]

What the hell -

[ Finally, Steve regains use of his legs and steps forward, calling out to the player and holding his hands near his face like he's clicking something - pretending to film them with an implant he doesn't have. ]

Hey! Smile for the camera! [ The player goes from bright red to blanched. ]

[unfavoured]

[ It's a near victory when he turns around with a look that says everything that he can't- not because he won't, but because Steve barges in trying to salvage the damage (too little too late, you could say). Parker slowly looks at him coming up on her right and then back to the player. Deciding she has had enough revenge - not on the player but on Steve, she clicks her tongue as if tired and looks at the shorter man for a second too long to be a glance. Should say enough.

It sucks when people do what you ask them not to, isn't it? ]

[ Devin's bodyguards are still busy with their master and his grandbaby as they get ready to leave the park, nowhere to be found while this is all going down (or perhaps the elderly man thought it best to leave his distant relative to deal with his problems on his own rather than have his direct people add to the scene).

Either way, when Steve turns to meet Parker's gaze with narrowed eyes, the player comes at him, shoving him to the ground and lifting him up again. ]

Is this a set-up? [ shove ] You want a show?

[ Before Steve can tear himself from the other man's grip, he finds himself sailing into the lake.

The player offers Parker one last glare, crazy bitch muttered under his breath, and this time jogs off. A couple of new onlookers have stopped to watch from a safe distance, though the show seems to be over. ]

[ There is a small twinge of amusement when she turns to see Steve fly towards the lake. She can't deny that. After all, she has no actual problems with the celebrity. She did this because Steve ignited the short fuse (shorter the longer they are stranded here in this planet).

She watches the guy walk off and smirks - an actual thing she does with her lips other than scowl apparently - before walking over to the edge of the lake where Steve is currently residing.

She crosses her arms and frowns slightly, watching him. She's not entirely sure he can swim. ]

That rough, buddy. [ She is about as sincere as an unaffected teenager at the peak of their puberty. ]

[decommission]

[ Although he can swim, the edge of the lake isn't all that deep. Mostly he's soaked and muddy. Also cold. ]

Yup. [ Dry as the desert. He pushes his bangs out of his face, wiping the droplets of water from his face. If he's annoyed with her, he's not showing it, instead he deals with the situation with a sort of methodical practice - and besides, his attention is more focused on the sudden realization that he's lost track of Devin completely.

With a wet cough he stands, shaking his head and his arms to send water flying every which way, not unlike a wet dog. ]

[unfavoured]

[ She takes a step back as he shakes himself off and makes a small sound in the back of her throat. Gives him one last look and then tilts her head. ]

I think we understand each other now.

[ Before she turns around and goes back to her jogging. Rude. ]
