((You know Kraus enough to answer that I think Nadindi ;) ))
Darren glanced in the direction Chris pointed, and tensed up seeing that pretty boy hitting on Nadine. He looks away for one minute and some guy is already after his girlfriend. Was this the world telling him that he wasn't allowed a girlfriend?! Time to tell this guy who is boss around here...
Kraus adopted a thoughtful silence at Nadine's muse at post high school romance being simpler. When he thought about it, romance never got easier. Sure, the chemicals in your body kick starting and going into over drive was enough to send one mad, but even when your body DID get use to the sexual overdrive, you were expected to magically know exactly what to say. What to do. It was a simple task for him to be sauve and charming for the ladies... being a good host was what he was brought up to do, but the act of love... nothing prepared you for that when it hit.
"Perhaps," Kraus smiled, not wanting to confirm or deny Nadine's hopes of clarity when she was old enough. Or perhaps he was so use to dealing with rumours in this way that it became his default mode. What ever the case, it was possibly better to answer in this fashion for now till she understood her feeling more.
"Did you say what your name was?" Nadine asked, placing a hand on Kraus' knee. Kraus nearly glanced at the hand- it didn't make him feel nervous to have a woman's hand on his body, but her efforts to gain the red head's attention just went up to a slightly uneasy notch. He was VERY aware of the laws of the country he was in right now, and what she was starting to do right now could be EXTREMELY tarnishing on his reputation if it went any further. Kraus' expression tightened for a brief moment as he had a flash image of the courts in his mind, trying to explain that they were only trying to get some red head kid to pay attention to his girlfriend again. Ah- he'd be amused if only it weren't him in the defendants seat...
"My apologies," Kraus responded picking up her hand on his leg and bringing it up to give it another welcome kiss, breaking out of the mind set very quickly, "My name is Alexander Kraus. It is my pleasure you meet you, Miss..."
"HEY," Suddenly, the girl's hand was jerked out of his. The red head boy had snuck up on him, and snatched the girl's hand from his, "I don't care who the hell you are, but get your hands off my girl you... creep!"
Kraus' brows raised at his 'attack', before adopting a bemused expression, "Your girl?" Kraus asked, "I don't recall a wedding ring on her finger showing a legal marriage between the two of you, and she is certainly no one's property. The young fraulein may do as she pleases. It seems to me that you already are."
Darren's eyes were wide in fury, ready to retort with the first thing that came to his head, but something about what he said stopped him. He's doing as he pleases? What was he doing that would make it look like he didn't like.... Oh. Smooth bro.... Smooth...
Turning to Nadine, Darren tensed his lips trying to hide his embaressment. Perhaps this is what he had done to other past girlfriends to drive them away, and it took some pretty boy a few words to show him?
"Nadiiiine..." Darren held her hands and gave her an uneasy expression, "I... you..." Pausing for a moment, Darren glanced aside uneasily, "I was acting like an idiot again, wasn't I?"
