[ It's a protein drink. Drink it. Oria had a feeling this would happen from what he managed to uncover yesterday, which was not a whole lot, but it's easy to piece it together. ]
[ Sinclair pulls a face but quickly drinks it. It seems like he had attempted to get ready at least. He's in his training clothes, but after a moment...he hadn't wanted to leave his bed]
Thanks. [ He'll try to organise his fluffy hair ] Okay. Ready.
Well! He's probably extra pissed today because he brought the third member but you weren't there to greet nor practice with them. They looked so hopeful too.
[ He sighs in a dramatic way while shrugging his arms outward. ]
It's like working up to deliver the rejection allll over again.
Oria opens the door to the training rooms and the newcomer looks really friendly, even waving at the two when they come in. In stark contrast, their managing coach looks like he's about to blow his own head off from anger.
"What did I say about uninformed absences?? More importantly, you have a member of the kette joining you!" ]
Hey, chill. Your blood pressure is gonna go off the charts again.
[Sinclair's expression tightens briefly, and he lowers his head in acknowledgement]
...sorry. I had a hard time getting up after yesterday.
[Was that passive aggressive? Maybe. He never quite knew what the coach knew - he was the 'tool' after all. A loan from a laboratory. He glances over at the too friendly looking newcomer and feels guilt competing with resentment]
[ Oria watches Sinclair hesitate and holds back a sigh. He sneakily touches Sinclair's back as if to remind him that he can take over if he wants. If it's too hard. ]

[ He does take a nervous look at himself in the mirror as he slides out of bed though. Aaah]

At least drink that for training.

[ Wrinkles... Oria tries to straighten some out, but it doesn't really work. ]
Let's go.
no subject
[ Urk. Sinclair tries to fix it as they walk to the training room but it really doesn't work.]
How mad was Coach...?
no subject
[ Exaggeration, but not totally invalid. ]
no subject
[ Not that he would get hit directly but he's seen those fists cave in a couple of skulls (metaphorically)]

Ah...they weren't feeling too badly, right?
[ It wasn't anything personal, except it was. And...with that 'control' in someone else's hands, he wasn't sure he could rest easy]
no subject
[ He shrugs again. ]
But that probably won't matter anyway, huh?
no subject
No. Not at all.
[ So he just needs to make himself colder]
no subject
[ He says this every time, but he never really does it. Despite talking about leaving the excited newcomer, he feels nothing about them. ]
no subject
[ Even so, he's glad to know someone is watching his back. He exhales slowly when they reach the training rooms. He's ready. Maybe.]

no subject
"I don't need to know your private life. Just tell me if you can't make it. That's all."
The new member laughs a little nervously while their face reddens a little. Oria catches onto this and almost snorts. ]
no subject
...it's not private though? I was having my check ups. I thought they would have told you.
[What???]
no subject
Meanwhile, Oria whispers to Sinclair that it sounded as if he was bedding someone last night instead. ]

[ Sinclair yelps, forgetting himself entirely]
It really was a hospital visit!
no subject
[ Oria snickers.
But then the newbie finally speaks up.
"Hello! My name is Katherine. I worked really hard to get into this kette and I look forward to working with you!"
Oria has an expression that seems to say "oh we're gonna have to be dream crushers". ]
no subject
[ But the grumbling ends when Katherine speaks up and Sinclair's expression freezes a little.
It's... not a nice feeling, this mixture of overwhelming resentment and guilt]
... that's ...

no subject
[ Sinclair looks back gratefully and steels himself. It's cruel. But what they keep doing to him and Oria... isn't that cruel too?
He knows Oria would be fine with being the 'bad' guy. But he doesn't want to keep putting that on Oria too]
I'm sorry. I don't know what they told you. But the third member of our kette will always be Aria. That's why we're not a kette now. Just...
