'Count to ten. Relax.'

My inner voice whispered.

I took a long breath.
Peaceful, calm.

"A small prank like this doesn't affect me."

I stated coolly.

Hmph.

Then I turned my back to him and muttered to myself.
"Is there anything else I need to buy?"

It was an obvious way to avoid conversation.

Anyone would have been able to pick up on the mood
and act accordingly.
But in my split-second decision,
I had forgotten
that my companion was...unlike anyone else.

"I don't know about that."

He muttered.

"You don't seem to be that type of person.

At least, 

not to me."
