Somewhat taken aback by Teryn's reaction, Robert was glad she still poured him some soup. Actions always meant more than words.
Technically you are my server right now. He thought as she took his bowl. Her other comments he just ignored.
"I take it you had a rough day then." He said half to her and half to himself. He still had no idea why she was acting like this. And the different forces inside him, like his curiosity for her and his pride, were a frustrating combination. But tonight he was not in the mood to play this game. So he was glad his friend showed up right on time.
"Thanks" He told Teryn with a wink, that he assumed would probably piss her off.
Robert made some space for Eddie as he came to sit between him and his soup-server. It was unclear whether Eddie had chosen that position strategically, or whether it was just a random move. But Rob was thankful nevertheless.
"Hey Eddie, good to see you!" He said as he fistumped his homie.
"It was boring as usual. There was a guy who just wouldn't respect the silence rule. So I made him fall from his chair. It made a lot of noise. After that he was too embarrased to say anything else. So yeah.. that was the most exciting part of my day." He ended with a sigh. It was actually pretty pathetic.
"So how was college today?"Robert started eating while he listened to Eddie's answer. It worked miracles on his mood.
Good food after a long day, nothing better. "You should try the soup" he said to Eddie while glancing at Teryn, who was in a way better position than he was, to help his friend to the delicious meal..
Something rubbed against his leg. Looking under the table, Robert saw the familiar black cat greeting him.
"Hi Nina!" He said while petting her. It was a weird thing to do with humans, but in animal form it became way more natural. To him at least, it was a form of friendly communication.
"Did Grimbold bring you the clothes? I can get them for you if you want."
