His face might have fell if he hadn't been trying so hard to be so blasé about the insults she was hurling at him. With pursed lips and an unamused expression he stared at her, wondering why she was in such a grumpy mood and why she was so inclined to insult him when it had been her who's come running into him. The poor, really? It was a low blow.
"My family is rather fond of charity, thank you," he said dryly, his eye glancing down at her box if only because she was paying attention to it rather than him. It dawned on him that she was likely sewing something, which seemed odd to him; he knew the Yaxleys were not wealthy, but neither were they working class. Were they in such dire financial straits that they were sending their daughter to do the work of a low-class seamstress, or were they trying to save money by having their daughter mend her own clothes? Neither sat particularly well with Raphael, who, despite associating words such as uptight and humorless with Yaxley, thought she was too good for either option.
And then she struck him with a blow that knocked the wind out of him more than her body had moments ago. Flirt? With Carina Walters. Hi brows furrowed and he instinctively moved to block her as she tried to move around her, and he spoke the first thing that popped into his head. "Who is Carina Walters?" he asked, genuine confusion in his voice.
