Simone was jerked out of his sullen mood at the clasp of Gertrud's hand. "Oh, hey." Simone said, his voice slightly lifting up. "Mind if we get out of here? Seems like these three have their thing going on." Simone said, as he brushed past Gertrud, not waiting for a response. Simone brushed Gertrud's hand off of his shoulder as he walked away, easing back into his normal mood. There was still so much time left in the day, and so little to do. He contemplated making his way back to his and Gertrud's apartment to relax, but he shook the idea from his head. It'd be better to stick around and meet more people. He didn't want to go home, and be by himself for the rest of the day. Simone took a look back at Edel, Mary, and the other girl that had showed up, before turning around and continuing his gait towards the the inside of the Academy, hoping he'd find someone to talk to. If not, he always had Gertrud to bother and piss off, which had become some sort of hobby for Simone, at this point.
