His gaze lingered on Erenβs face for another moment. Though his expression and words indicated that he was telling the truth, the impulsiveness made Rivaille skeptical. Nevertheless, he figured it was none of his business; if the kid wanted to skip class, then that was all on him. He wasnβt going to assume responsibility over someone he just met two hours ago.
"Thatβll be fine." He moved in the direction of building A. It was where he first came from, so he was certain that he was going the right way, but in the case that he wasnβt, he walked slowly, keeping his steps even with his companyβs.
The air surrounding them was a bit odd. He was fixated on trying to resolve it by coming up with something pleasant to talk about, but to no avail. Much to his luck, Eren decided then to ask him about his class, and though it was a subject Rivaille wasnβt exactly fond of, he went with it.
"My acquaintance invited me to one of her lectures," he began. "Itβs a different setting from what Iβm accustomed to, but not a bad one." Despite Hanjiβs strange way of teaching (honestly, all he could remember from his time in college were the quiet classrooms and the professors mumbling their lessons for two hours straight), her students learned, and he supposed that was what mattered in the end. "How did yours go?"
As he returned the question, he spotted the small cafe Eren had referred to. There were a few scatters of students here and there, but for the most part, it appeared empty. He found a table for two easily, and as he sat, he reached into his back pocket to remove his wallet. After fishing out a ten dollar bill, he handed it over to Eren. "Get me a cup of coffee and two packs of sugar. Treat yourself with the rest."
Though he gave off a domineering vibe, it was rare for him to order around a stranger (co-workers, not so much, since it was business). He wasnβt entirely sure why he had done so; perhaps his impression of Eren being much like a dog was getting to him. Either way, he didnβt feel a need to apologize, because it was as if he had known Eren for some time now.
