Serenity's eyebrows darted high into her forehead, a significant amount of speculation seen in her expression. For just a split second, the woman patted her own body down - noting that she was fully clothed. She did the same for Cade although a bit faster and noted once more that he had his clothes on as well. "If you're telling the truth than why are both of our clothes on?" She had to be careful about this one before believing Cade or jumping to conclusions. For all she knew he could be messing with her, but then again it did make sense because she did remember the start of her drinking from last night...
Serenity growled then and wrapped her hand around Cade's throat once more, "You better be fucking with me or else all my death threats are going to come true right now." Honestly, the woman was a bit hyper sensitive about the idea of having slept with Cade. For what reason though? Even if she had slept with him, if she had been in her right mind she would have left in the middle of the night or stayed awake. How could she have fallen asleep in the first place? It had been years since she had slept near anyone anyways.

The first of many doubts arose as the woman pointed out the first issue with his fib. Cade had already made note of that before he even conjured up his lie since it was a very reasonable question to ask and without a doubt would be her first clue to the true conclusion. If he admitted he lied at this point she’d have his head in a sling, so he had to keep it on and make his words sound as believable as possible. Shouldn’t be too hard, he’d spoke his way out of life and death situations plenty of times before so it wouldn’t be as big an issue. Besides, her believing that she went to seek him out for sex would have to stir something in his favour.
Serenity’s strong mitts around his throat made it difficult to talk though. In fact, his eyes were beginning to bulge out like a squeaky toy’s. “You know, I was surprised you had the energy to do that afterwards too. You muttered something about self-respect and crawled back into bed. Frankly it was difficult to make out anything you said. And if only one of us was naked then who’d look like the fool?” he attempted to muster with Serenity grip fully around his windpipe. He could have attempted to strip them both down the night before for his lie to work now, but him stripping down an unconscious woman on his bed would have looked fairly incriminating, besides her clothes didn’t come off with the flick of his wrist he knew that much. Along with that, granting the woman easier access to his balls was never a good idea.
“Believe me, it was you who was fucking with me. If anything I should be the one upset by this. What do you think I am? Your willing victim that’ll take both your beatings and your affection?” he attempted to reply as he tried to ease the pressure against his neck by lifting her arm slightly with both his hands.

As Cade had explained how she had her clothes on, Serenity felt like her jaw could drop from the rest of her head at any moment. Had she really come here when she was drunk just to sleep with him? That didn't make any sense considering he was the reason why she had been suspended from school in the first place. Gritting her teeth, Serenity moved in a quicker manner so that she got off of him and was standing next to the bed with her back to him. She was unfamiliar with his apartment and she was irritated that she didn't know where her cane was despite the fact that she remember that she had left the house with it last night.
"My cane, where is it?" Everything that Cade had said before it seemed as though Serenity had completely ignored. For some reason, Serenity actually believed Cade now and she figured that she had shown Cade so much vulnerability already that she didn't even want to try and show anymore. What was the point really? What was the point? A mixture of feelings scattered across her face then, the most significant worry since her lips down turned in the most extreme manner.

Cade took some heavy intakes as the woman finally let go of his throat. It was a very short relief, but at this rate she might just turn back around and choke hold him once again. He should probably get out of the vulnerable position he was in. In comparison to Serenity’s movements Cade’s were down right sluggish as he began his ascend off his cot. Her turning away from him and lack of response told him that he might have struck a nerve. To be fair though, she’d literally struck more nerves on his body in comparison. His countenance was curious, but he hardly felt the need to ask her of what was wrong. She seemed like a person who could handle herself, but on an emotional level it was hard to say. She had stated that she shut herself out from the world to avoid people and relationships to begin with, so his instigation on the matter probably wasn’t doing her any favours. To back out now though would only inflict more pain onto himself, she could handle a little singe to her pride.
“To be fair though, your original intentions when coming here were to harvest my genitals. You made it a point that I wasn’t leaving this apartment without having a bloody mess on my body somewhere” he spoke reassuringly as he passed by her. Touching her at the moment was out of the question, but he still provided a light tap on her shoulder. His eyes glanced over to her cane’s blade jutting out of the wall. “Your cane’s stuck in the wall by the door. I’m pretty sure you were trying to make some sort of example out of it. I know how much you enjoy chivalry, so I’ll ask. Would you like me to get it for you?”
He began to fix and adjust his attire according to both how Serenity jumbled it up in the morning and earlier in the night. “I really hope you weren’t planning on leaving either. There’s a nice little waffle house down the street, not too busy most of the time. I was hoping to talk more about this over breakfast rather than you letting those thoughts of yours fester in your brain. I’ll pay, I’m sure you have an insane tab for whatever beverage you favoured last night” he offered simply as he fiddled with the collar of his shirt. “Unhealthy to let thoughts linger, you know?”

Finally after a few minutes more hesitation, Serenity finally decided to start moving - rubbing her fingers together as she did so. The sound was slight and wouldn't extremely noticeable, but it was enough for the woman to gain somewhat of a grasp of where she was going. "I'll get it, you don't have to do anything." For once, the woman seemed cold - it was an odd change from her usual fiery demeanor. Once she mad her way near the entrance of Cade's apartment, the woman reached up and lightly touched her cane which appeared as a sword for the moment. Taking out of the wall with a hard jerk, the woman's thumb slid over a small button on the handle which caused the cane to revert back to its innocent looking state.
As invited her out to eat, the woman frowned once more - her movements a little bit slower than usual. Turning back to him, her expression seemed to be a mixture of confusion and something else entirely. "I'll have to refuse you on that, after all it's apparent to me that I've already used you for whatever I've needed. If we're at this point in our interactions with each other, than you've already done all that you need to do for me and I have no need for you anymore." Turning away from him, Serenity placed her hand on the door and opened it up - turning back toward him once more. "And I mean it this time, don't bother me anymore." With those words, Serenity stepped through the door and closed it behind her.
