"You mean Vishesh who is obsessed with you and spends entire conversations simply staring at your breasts?" Kriya demands, eyebrows raised in concern.
"That creep?!" Swayam's voice raises an octave or two in shock, alarm evident on his face.
Taani simply rolls her eyes. "Vishesh is harmless, I can handle him. Believe me, I've dealt with worse."
"Oh, I believe you alright!" says Rey.
"For sure," adds Sharon.
"I could see it," Shivam tells her.
"See?" Taani says to her siblings. "Why do Rey and Sharon have more faith in my capabilities than you do?"
"You punched a f**king hole just millimeters away from my ear," Rey reminds her.
"You're also absolutely terrifying, which is saying something considering the fact that it's coming from me because I'm absolutely terrifying," Sharon points out.
"That's all fine and dandy," Kriya drawls, "except Rey and Sharon don't care about your safety and well-being. Exhibit A, he provoked you in a situation where you had to resort to punching the wall dangerously close to his face. You still have the damn bandage on, Taani!"
