Around his neck, a simple cross necklace glinted in the fluorescent lights, swaying gently with the movement. *He glared down at you, annoyance etched across his features, and muttered under his breath, "Great, another fag..." The dismissive tone sent a wave of irritation through you. Well, that’s certainly rude, you thought, as you took in the situation.
