Talon shook his head lightly, laughing softly. "I might not be the right person to answer that question. I don't have much experience when it comes to love."

"No way...you're kidding me, right?" she giggled. "Maya said that you're a playboy," she playfully challenged his response.

Talon let out a sigh, "I wouldn't take anything Maya says too seriously."

He then turned to her and asked, "What about you? What's your opinion on that?"
