Whaaaaat, Uma?

As much as Hew enjoyed spending time with Chad, he would admit that he was only half listening at this point in the conversation. Not because he intended to be rude, but because he was spending the other half of his attention giving capabilities trying to figure out what Chad was actually talking about.

The blonde seemed to assume that he was some kind of Tourney expert like he was, when Hew was, in fact, the furthest possible thing from this. Even just the terminology was confusing him. So, he now stood with the choice of attempting to cleverly change the subject, or at least lean it towards something abput Tourney he might understand, or just admit that he had no idea what Chad was talking about.

It is far more than just training. Feel free to stop by my office and we’ll set up a day and time. 

Um, y’know how sometimes people have really good eyeliner “that could kill a man”? That’s, uh, how I feel, except I’m 100% sure that his eyeliner has actually killed people and that I might be one of those people if I ever talk to him.

Really well. I mean, I could be more popular, but you know. I trust you’re doing well too?

Chad had been thinking about Ben’s offer all day, completely unable to focus in any of his classes. Well, that was normally true anyway, but this time it was for a good reason. Ben, offering to give Chad ruling lessons? (Not that Chad thought he needed them.) Ben, offering Chad potentially 24 hours on the throne?! (Now that, Chad did need.) The entire thing was too good to be true. The minute the final bell rang, he grabbed his phone to confirm that today was in fact the day.

“So, you ready?” He over-excitedly said once his call had been picked up.

Um, do I look like someone who hides my emotions and gets overly defensive over feelings? Do I? Oh, god, do I...?

…bad. I couldn’t find her once I actually got to the forest, so I had to text her, and it turned out that she wasn’t even there! Lonnie had asked her to distract me because she thought I was gonna “ruin the night” or something.
