"So." Lalna began, grinning like a child who had been told they were going on their twenty-eighth trip to Disney world but somehow the magic was still there "We have to formulate a battle-plan." He had skipped his tutor session with Nano to talk to Nilesy about her potential crush, and possibly about who he thought Lomadia had a crush on.
"A battle plan? Good god man, we're talking about trying to figure out who someone's crushing on not how to invade a fucking country!" Nilesy sighed in exasperation, he'd been putting up with Lalna's bullshit for about a week as he nervously skirted around digging himself into more holes and embarrassing himself further. "You need to calm down, its not a matter of life or death."
"You're the one whose yelling at me!" Lalna whined
"I'm not yelling, I barely raised my voice." Nilesy said through gritted teeth, barely concealing anger. He sighed again, "I'll have to admit Lalna, you haven't caught me in the best of moods." He continued
"I could tell" Lalna laughed nervously rubbing the back of his neck. He looked around the room, seeing the usual groups around. Smith, Ross, and Trott were sat with Sips and Sjin over a handful of tables they had rearranged to he next to each other. Rythian was commentating over-dramatically on Ravs and Teep play "the lever game", which Lalna had never understood, whilst Zoey and Fiona watched, clearly amused by their antics. Xephos was sat with Strife (who was as always followed closely by Parv), there was something about them that was weirdly similar, but Lalna couldn't quite place it. Finally he caught sight of Nano, who was sat with Honeydew and Lomadia, his two primary suspects."Nilesy!" He hissed urgently, "Look!" He pointed towards Nano's table. "She's with the people I think are the most likely!"
"Lalna, I hate to say this," Nilesy started, casting a quick glance at Lalna, who was oblivious as always. "But do we even know Nano's sexuality?"
Lalna paused for a moment, considering. "You know what Nilesy?"
Nilesy looked at him questioningly but didn't respond.
"This plan was terribly thought out! We know next to nothing about our friends, how did we not realise this?"
"That's what I've been trying to tell you for the last half hour!" This time Nilesy did shout and Lalna found himself bursting into laughter, this was going to take a while.
