The Gourmet's Lil'snack

Making a plan

She chuckled a bit, remembering when she'd let him pick a movie. That had been a mistake, but she'd do it again. If they were going to watch movies she didn't want to be the only one picking the movies all the time, even if his preferences scared the crap outta her. "Heh, yeah...."

He nods before he asks: "Is everything alright? Would you like to talk to Humbert?"

"I-I'll be okay. B-besides, I-I don't want him to worry." She took a few deep breaths. "I just....I know you like Raymond and all....but he's been nothing but a jerk as far as I'm involved since I got here so....n-no offense....but I don't see him the way you do. E-even so, I don't wanna hurt him either."

He stayed quiet for a moment to digest the information. "You know, I'm sure that you won't bother him. And I think that will help you if you go with him when you go give Raymond stuff..."

Thorne frowned and looked down at her lap. "....I-I was planning to just leave it on his desk with a note or something....." She didn't really want to be anywhere near the man after last night.

He nods. "But will you be alright to be alone even if you won't see Raymond?"

She fidgeted again. ".....I-I'll be okay....I-I don't want to get Humbert involved again....."

"But won't that make him worry?" he asks, tilting his head.

"H-he doesn't need to know....I-I'm just dropping it off for Raymond to find a-and then leaving. I-I'm not sticking around, I'm not going to talk to anybody, j-just dropping it off and leaving...." She looked away, ears low again.

"If that's what you want..." he shrugs. Something isn't right but who is he to point it out. But realizes that he's been holding her and doesn't mind holding longer.

She noticed he was still holding her too, but she didn't feel like mentioning it just yet. She leaned back against his chest for a moment. "....th-thank you."

He hummed again, content.
"Your homework..." Kaël cleared his throat.
"Shush dude! Can't you see they are enjoying a moment here!?" Zalifer reprimands him but Alex's content feeling is now gone.
"Sorry to cut it short but I have some homework to do. Starting with that writing I still don't know what to write about..."
Thorne frowned a little, but nodded. "Um....w-well maybe try finding something you like or are passionate about?" She looked up at him. "M-maybe a personal experience?"

He hummed but nothing came up...he let out a defeated sigh. "Well, for now, it is not urgent...I got three months to write it off so I got time to think about it..." he says as he takes out his other assignment but still holds Thorne near his chest until he needs to write something.

"Well....a-are there any restrictions on what you need to write about?" She frowned, trying to think of something for him to write.

"I have to write a minimum of 10 pages to 20 maximum..." He said as he took his pen case, it had a nice drawing of fishes on it. "And the subject has to be argumentative... Like some sort of debate but you have to take one side and explain why..."

Thorne nodded, thinking. "Um...I'm assuming it's probably hard to write about something small like why cats are better than dogs or vice versa." She rubbed at her neck. "Maybe something to do with found family or parental love? You had a lot to talk about when we first talked about that?"

"Yeah but...it is too personal and I don't want to have a note on that..." he said as he fiddled.

"Ah, okay." She frowned and tried to think some more. "Well....you can't do one on me or borrowers, considering nobody can know I exist and my kind is considered fiction." She placed her chin in her hand and continued thinking. "I-is there anything else you like or are interested in? M-maybe something in human politics that you can find plenty of information for your side of the argument?"
