...maybe I should go back to our dorm to finish my homework after all.

[ It's so nice Oria and Cethin are such good friends. Sinclair watches them in bemusement, waiting for Oria to put his shoe back on]

I'll see you later, Cethin. [ He'll just help skip right past the awkwardness of Cethin's comments. Nothing to see here, definitely nothing out of the ordinary!!]

Oria, you finished?

[ The fresh air was nice but clearly Oria wasn't going to get much peace around people today]

[dissimulative]

[ The woes of being the popular kid (???)... Either way, he puts his shoe back on and returns to Sinclair's side. ]

Done! Let's go.

[ Oria holds Sinclair's hand and goes to lightly run to the dorms. ]

[insinning]

[ Popularity (?) is definitely scary (nvm Sinclair probably had his own minor brand now, ooph). He waves goodbye to Cethin and lets Oria pull him along, running off with him. When they return to the safety of their dorm room...]

...I wonder what that was about.

[dissimulative]

He's just messing around! Like usual.

[ Something like that. Oria immediately takes off the blazer jacket of the uniform and tosses it on the back of his own desk chair. And goes lie down on his back on the bed. ]

Ahhh, finally... time to relax.

[ As if he hasn't been doing that already....? ]

[insinning]

[Sinclair is a little more neat with his clothes. His school blazer is neatly hung up in his closet, and the tie comes off and hung up too. Better. He unpacks his bag, setting out his books on his desk before he finally sits down on the edge of Oria's bed looking down at him sympathetically as he holds out a small wrapped chocolate he had taken out of his bag. It's one of those specialty German ones Beatrice sent to him in a care package]

Long day?

[dissimulative]

I'm just glad to be out of classes!

[ He got dumped, but he's not moping about it all day. It's time to move on. One might even wonder if the people he dates have an impact on him at all. ]

Then I got to eat the new strawberry shortcake ice cream... life is good.

[ He certainly seems to like the small things at least as he takes the chocolate. ]

Just like this chocolate! Got some more from Beatrice?

[insinning]

Mm. [Sinclair smiles at him] She'll still be in Berlin for a little longer, so she's making sure to send back as many of the sweets as she can.

[While it's true Oria looks pretty relaxed...hm. Gently tapping Oria's forehead]

You do seem less grumpy than before.

[dissimulative]

Hm? Well, I'm away from all that. Classes are over and I have nothing to be grumpy about when I'm here and free.

[ Oria pops the chocolate into his mouth. Mmm... good stuff. ]

[insinning]

...well, you got away with using your phone in class at least.

[Sinclair looks at his desk gloomily. He really doesn't enjoy reading Faust at all, even in German]

[dissimulative]

Skill issue.

[ Yeah, he's saying this. ]

You want some sparknote summaries on it? I'm sure there are thousands online. Work smarter, not harder.

[insinning]

[ Sinclair reaches down, grabs one of Oria's pillows and gently smacks him with it. Rude]

No, Mr. Klein just sees everything...and there's no way I can get away with that. It's fine, I'll do it properly so he can't make me redo it.

[His pride wont let him, but also: it needs to be in German so]

[dissimulative]

As long as you learn something out of it, I guess.

[ Instead of relying on short term memory for exams. Oria get a face full of pillow before he can say anything more though. ]

You're still putting it off. You like my company more than homework?

[ Hehe. ]

[insinning]

[?]

Of course I do.

[He likes Oria's company, homework or no homework]

[dissimulative]

Should I distract you some more then?

[ Oria points over to their handheld game consoles. ]

[insinning]

[...]

You're a terrible influence.

[ But lets go]

[dissimulative]

I'm the greatest influence in existence!

[ Oria gets up and gets the consoles, handing one over to Sinclair. ]

What do you feel like getting your ass kicked in today? Tekken? Blazblue? Street Fighter? Something else?

[insinning]

[ Sinclair shoots Oria a sulky look as he reaches for a console]

Tekken. You won't win this time.

[dissimulative]

We'll see about that!

[ Oria configures with the settings and they're ready to rumble!! He also picks Alisa. ]

[insinning]

You will.

[ Sinclair picks King, a departure from his usual choices.]

[dissimulative]

Oh? You don't usually pick King.

[ Oria decides that he'll wipe the floor with Sinclair despite that. Round start!! ]

[insinning]

I felt like a change.

[One-two punch combo, lets go]

[dissimulative]

[ Oria sits on the bed while mashing buttons to try and combo and he's so into it that he doesn't realize that his body is literally tilting in one direction from slight frustration. Then he finds himself plopping on Sinclair's lap.

Oh.

He's still focused though. ]

[insinning]

[ With a sudden lapful of Oria, Sinclair finds it a lot harder to focus in his flustering. Unfortunately, that means he misses a few key combos]

Ah--are you trying to cheat this quickly?

[Losing this round only fuels his competitive energy and he focused it on beating Oria's character down quickly]

[dissimulative]

I'm not cheating—hey!

[ Oria doesn't make it too easy for Sinclair to give a beatdown, but he eventually succumbs. Tied 1 to 1. He grumbles, looking at Sinclair past his handheld. He doesn't bother getting off his lap since that's not on his mind right now. ]

Next round is mine!

[ He's going to take advantage of Alisa's mobility trait for this. ]

[insinning]

You are too.

[ How? Who knows. Sinclair will hold stubborn though as he tries to get around Alisa's mobility by blocking where he can. Come on combos!!]
