[quote=Marx] "Please," Leon said back to the redhead, resisting the urge to groan, "Don't mention it." He had never been keen on having people repay favors. They were favors for a reason, not loans after all. When Aeria made her comment about Leon releasing bug boy since he had invited the redhead, Leon shrugged. "Who said I invited him? And if he ain't comin', neither should bug boy." Leon gave her a shrug, walking past her, a small smirk on his face as he passed by. He removed his right hand from his pocket, cupping the open air. His hand flattened out and as if awaiting his cue, the dome that withheld the boy with mandibles opened up, returning to the way it once was. He turned slightly, looking at Tollnak as he spoke. "We'll probably see him tomorrow. Or... at the very least, her from him. [/quote] Alan stood up, retracting his mandibles and pulling his bandana back up. Thank god he didn't have to go with them, they were probably planning to kill him. Although the one girl had been quite an advocate to free him. Maybe she wasn't that ba- Alan stopped himself. [i]Don't be stupid![/i] he thought, back to his normal, hateful self. [i]She just wants to gain your trust so she can crush it underfoot. Bleh, women.[/i] He walked away at a brisk pace, trying not to make eye contact with any members of vanilla demon's entourage, hoping to get back to his dorm without any other meetings. Almost as if on cue to make this day one of the worst Alan had ever had, the unmistakable flare of orange hair and black shades of his roommate came walking down the path, coming nearer and nearer with each step he took. Alan lifted his hood over his head and looked away, trying to be as unnoticeable as possible.
