'Seat-mate! I nearly thought you stood me up! Oh wait, that's what happened...'

'...'

'What? You won't give any sassy remark?'

'...'

'Why are wearing a hoodie in this weather?'

'...'

'Pallis, I am giving you one more chance to show me your face.'

'...'

'I didn't catch what you said. Speak louder or I'll rip that hoodie from your body.'

'You have to promise me you won't lose your shit.'

'I am a very peaceful person. I don't go around ripping throats out.'

'I said nothing about ripping throats, Alaric. What do you mean?'

'This is a song!'

'Yes, Alaric. This is a song, which everyone has heard. Seriously, are you a boomer or what?'

'A what?!'

'Are you sure you're 24? By your talk, you can easily pass for 80.'

'Stop changing the topic. Show me your face.'

'Why?'

'Because you're the moon.'

'People usually say, 'your smile lights up my world,' or 'you are my sunshine.' Why the moon?'

'Because...I don't like the Sun.'

'You don't say, pale skin.'

'This is genetic. Don't insult my parents.'

'Yeah, yeah.'

'Pallis, I'll give you 10 seconds to take off the hoodie and face me or else...'

'Or else what? You'll hit me? Go ahead. Won't be the first time anyways...'

'Why are you being hostile? I was going to say that I wouldn't talk to you but...'

'Learn minding your own fucking business, Alaric. Shut the fuck up and focus on the lecture.'
