She couldn't control herself; Larkin immediately burst into laughter at Seth's dramatic inquiry. That was his big pull? That she had feelings for Nico? And had run away with him? Galloping gargoyles, what a story Seth had created for himself there. The fact that only one tiny insignificant part of it was remotely true was irrelevant. He thought she had feelings for Nico.
Choosing to address this instead of the other topic Seth was quickly circling, Larkin turned fully to face Seth. Leaning back on the hedges, she pressed her behind her as support and balanced her weight on her heels.
"I don't know what you're talking about." Larkin responded in a flippant way, shrugging her shoulders as she spoke. "Penrose and I went to Brazil on a job. Cursebreaking only works when you're away on site."
The fact that the timing had been all wrong was also irrelevant. They had journeyed across the pond a bit earlier than scheduled, but that had only been because... because. Things. Had happened. Unexpected things. Events that apparently had been shared, because if Seth Wadcock knew about it, Merlin knew who else Lynch had spilled to. She knew she should have responded to one of his letters.
"Though I am going to tell him you think we're passionately in love. He'll get a right stitch out of that." Larkin snickered this time, her hair falling over her shoulders as she laughed.
"Right, well---" she began again, taking opportunity of a split second of down time before Seth could speak again. "Anything else, then? No? Alright." And without much else time for a response, she quickly plowed toward the left fork, marching (hopefully) with purpose busy enough to shake Seth Wadcock from his mission.
