Reinette was still somewhat slow to fully grasp just what this particular exchange was traditionally meant to resemble. She was almost startled to hear Jack's laugh, however lovely the sound might be. She felt almost a tingle of frustration towards it.
She understood intent. Cause, and effect. She could not precisely even pinpoint why he was laughing.
A pillow was just thrown in the direction of his head.
And Jack, impossible man that he was, was laughing?
"Not to put to fine a point on the matter, but you started ---"
Her statement was cut short by the soft strike of another pillow to her face, muffling her final words. Reinette only just managed to deflect the second blow.
It was sheer instinct that followed. A base need to be superior to fabric and down and the man throwing pillows at her and Reinette felt herself returning them with even more force than before in Jack's direction. One quickly following the other.
