Whirlpool looked unconvinced. "Dude, you are in love aren't you? I can tell. You're telling me to leave when you just want to stay cause you like her? You're an idiot." He sniffed with a shake of his head.

"Shut up, Whirlpool. I'm sick of you sticking your head in my business." Ripp snapped back, taking in a deep breath before walking back into view as Izzy spoke. He wanted to protest, but he couldn't. It would be even more suspicious.

Whirlpool walked forward and smiled at the girl's offer. "I might just have to take you up on that.. I'm starving. I never caught your name, though. I am Dallas Reacher, nice to meet you." His charming face was seemingly innocent, but deep underneath evil brewed.

Ripp didn't want to take this. Dallas? Really? He wanted to leave, but he wasn't going to leave Whirl with Izzy.

"Izzy is a rather beautiful name if you ask me. I'm from farther north in England, not too far away." Whirlpool answered with a Dashing smile. He did have a British accent, which was confusing to Ripp on how, but he did.

Ripp refused a sigh.. Izzy was definitely warming up to *Dallas*. What a name. He tried to blend in with the simple name of John, but of course Whirlpool had to stick out like a sore thumb. At Izzy's question he winced, pretending it was because he moved his shoulder. "I met him a couple years ago. We happened to go to the same school. He was such a bully at that time- that's why I'm acting rather Sourly. I am sorry for my behavior, however, because I am sure he has changed for the better." Ripp explained before Whirlpool had a chance to respond.

Whirlpool grit his teeth for a moment. Of course, poor innocent Riptide pinned the blame on him. Still, he had to play along now- no turning back. "I regret how I acted before. My mother had just died so I was in a rough spot." He added, turning the tables so hopefully Izzy would feel bad for him.

Dallas shook his head slightly. "I stand by my words. Izzy is a nice name." He added, then nodded slowly. "I am sincerely sorry about your aunt. And thank you for your sympathy." He answered, his blue eyes darting towards Riptide for a moment.

Riptide couldn't take it anymore. He couldn't stand here and watch Izzy fall for that scum. "I'm sorry, but I have to go. Thank you for your hospitality, Izzy." He nodded curtly at the woman before exiting quickly.

"I fear I have made him upset. Excuse me for a moment." Dallas said before following Ripp, then grinning as soon as he got outside, his eyes literal evil. "Ha! Wimp. Mr. Lovebird can't even defend someone he just meant from his own enemy. Poor baaaaby."

Riptide whirled on Whirlpool. "Just stop, okay? It's bad enough you are TRESSPASSING on MY LAKE but you have to STILL hurt me too!" He exclaimed, spinning away and disappearing into the bushes.

Dallas turned to see Izzy coming. "He's being a wimp, don't worry about him." His voice came off a little harsh, but he couldn't help it. He hated Ripp.

Riptide was fuming.. how could that self-absorbed snob steal a possible friend away from him? How could Whirlpool just come in and literally capture Izzy's heart? It wasn't fair! Ripp grit his teeth and went towards the lake, sitting down on a rock and grabbing a stone, viciously skipping it across the water. It bounced twice before sinking. "Stupid rock."

"Nothing happened." Dallas said curtly, but at Izzy's next words his eyes glinted with anger. "No! you can't go after him! I mean... you shouldn't! He probably just wants to be alone. He was always a snob like that." He exclaimed, narrowing his eyes slightly as he caught Izzy's arm.

Riptide wanted to just disappear, and honestly he was about to morph into his Kelpie form and leave when he heard Dallas's voice raise. +What's he doing now?! Scoundrel!+ Ripp thought.
