Max was so weird.

Eris lightly rubbed his temples, soothing his annoyance a bit. How was he supposed to explain something so simple? What could he even say to that without sounding like an idiot? Maybe he gave the kid too much credit if he really didn't get it, but his response could be interpreted as understanding but not caring. Which was much more Max-like so that was probably it. Eris really was overthinking things and getting all flustered and feeling weird and--alright, he needed to get himself out of this.

He did openly roll his eyes, reluctantly conceding. Whatever, in the future he'd be dealing with Ismene anyway and she could figure out the game of tag. All he needed to do was send him a text if he didn't feel like seeing his face. He might've had a point on the whole 'without asking' thing but like hell was Eris going to admit it.

[color=ccff99]"Terribly inconvenient is one way to put it,"[/color] Eris muttered, dropping his hands. [color=ccff99]"I'll have to add it to the list of improvements. You'll learn what's worth talking about and what isn't."[/color] If he can teach a dog not to chew up his slippers he could whip Max into a proper mage. Maybe he [i]should [/i]employ a rolled up newspaper or a plastic water bottle, neither one of them could get turned on him. [color=ccff99]"Worry not, you're in capable hands."[/color] He did applaud himself for not adding 'in more ways than one' for once, even if it was because he was tired. Well, he was more generally annoyed than anything if he was being honest, but it wasn't the mage standing in front of him that he was annoyed at.

Deflating slightly, Eris sank into the couch, throwing a glare at his phone. His inbox was getting spammed, it looked like his favorite mage didn't like getting blown off. They had that in common at least. [color=ccff99]"What is with this woman tonight..."[/color] He pinched the bridge of his nose before he began typing something out. After a few seconds, he tossed his phone aside. [color=ccff99]"Anyway, you're too green to whore out just yet, but it's good to know you're mentally preparing yourself. Initiative is very attractive in mages."[/color]

[color=90EE90][i]> Fumbling is one way to put it. Cinnamon has probably tempted him with something, I received an email to prepare for a transfer of assets.[/i][/color][/hider]
