[Autumn]

((*smirks*))

[Autumn]

((But Iris wants me to deny that it is a date.))

[Autumn]

((Iris: *nods* You should do that. Please.))

[~♥Alyssa♥~, Astronomy Master, The Defendant, ALYSSASAUR!]

((Haha, I agree! That would be great. ^^ ))

Kynton shrugged. "Green is alright too. I suppose just about any color is fine but pink, red, and orange."

[Autumn]

"Ewww, orange!" Iris agreed. "I really don't like orange. But red's alright. It used to be my favorite color in Year 3, I think."

[~♥Alyssa♥~, Astronomy Master, The Defendant, ALYSSASAUR!]

"I've always hated red," Kynton said rather aggressively. "Well, at least since about age 5." He clenched his fists, flashing back to his childhood and what red and orange meant to him.

[Autumn]

"Mmm, it can be a very angry color," she nodded.

[~♥Alyssa♥~, Astronomy Master, The Defendant, ALYSSASAUR!]

"Angry?" Kynton considered the word for a moment, then snorted. "Yeah. That definitely fits." He rubbed his arm broodingly. I hate Pyr.

[Autumn]

Iris glanced at Kynton and saw him rubbing his arm slightly. "Is your arm okay?"

[~♥Alyssa♥~, Astronomy Master, The Defendant, ALYSSASAUR!]

((LITTLEDOLPHIN!!!! I think they're walking out of the library and wandering the halls.))

"Yes, of course!" Kynton snapped, immediately dropping his hand to his side. "Mind your own business!"

[Autumn]

((HAI LITTLEDOLPHIN!!!))

"Sorry, sorry," Iris held her hands up innocently. "I was just concerned for you. I won't mind your appendages any more."

[~♥Alyssa♥~, Astronomy Master, The Defendant, ALYSSASAUR!]

Kynton sighed. Why did he feel slightly guilty for snapping at her? "Oh... Well, sorry. It's just... nevermind. I hurt my arm once and I was thinking about it." He resisted that urge to rub the hidden burn again.

[Autumn]

"It's not a big deal," Iris assured him. She didn't want him to feel bad or anything. "I don't suppose you'd want to share the tale."

[~♥Alyssa♥~, Astronomy Master, The Defendant, ALYSSASAUR!]

"No. That- That's private," Kynton said immediately. His voice shook a little and lost the perpetual sneer. "What I meant is, it's a long story. But look..." He rolled up his right sleeve so the thick, scarred burn was visible. Maybe she would assume he got it in a fight and would be impressed. Or intimidated. Or maybe just wouldn't think he was weak. He hoped. "Yeah, it's nothing."

[Autumn]

"Ohh, is that burn mark? That must have hurt a lot! My brother has one on his knee, but it's not nearly as bad and he was going on about it for ages," Iris rambled. She kind of wanted to touch it because the red part shone above the rest of his skin. But she didn't. That'd be awfully creepy.

[~♥Alyssa♥~, Astronomy Master, The Defendant, ALYSSASAUR!]

((Haha. ^^ ))

Kynton scowled. "Yeah, it's a burn mark. And it did hurt," he said shortly.

[Autumn]

"I'm sorry," Iris frowned, not sure what to say.

[~♥Alyssa♥~, Astronomy Master, The Defendant, ALYSSASAUR!]

Kynton shrugged. "Yeah. It's fine." He carefully pulled his sleeve back down. "Where were we headed again?"

[Autumn]

"Uh. I actually, can't really remember," Iris flipped her hair so her bangs would curve properly. They were getting annoyingly long.

[Autumn]

((Ha, it's fine. Well, Alyssa's gone now. And I could disappear at any moment. It's hard to tell when my parents will decide it would be a good idea to eat dinner.))

Iris had recognized Tristin as they were walking down the hall, but she hadn't wanted to disturb him as he was reading. She knew what that was like, her brother loved to do it to watch her go off. But he wasn't reading any longer so she raised her hand in a wave. "Hullo, Tristin," she greeted him, peeking out from behind Kynton's head, smiling slightly.

[~♥Alyssa♥~, Astronomy Master, The Defendant, ALYSSASAUR!]

"No, you weren't watching," Kynton snapped, his temper flaring up. "Pay attention where you're walking next time, got it?" His irritation multipied as Iris greeted Tristin. Oh right, they're friends. Of course. "What are you reading that's so interesting, anyway?" he said in a too-loud voice.

[Autumn]

Uhmmm. Does that mean what I think it does? Yeah, I'm pretty sure it does... Iris stared at Tristin. Then frowned. Then blushed. "Uhmmmmmmmmmmmmmm," she said, for lack of anything better to say. "Uhhh." Then she shut up and stared at the ground, twisting a lock of hair around her finger.

[~♥Alyssa♥~, Astronomy Master, The Defendant, ALYSSASAUR!]

Kynton crossed his arms, his face red with anger. At least he told himself it was anger. "Why do you care?" he huffed. "Wherever we're going it's not like you're invited." Then a thought struck him. If Tristin comes, it won't be just me and this idiot girl. Besides, if I don't tell him he'll think I just want to spend time alone with her. Which I do NOT want to do. Still, he felt a little unwilling to hang out with Tristin and Iris. He didn't want them to spend more time together and become better friends anyway.... But he didn't want friends! Blast it! "We're looking for a few of Iris's friends," he said after a short hesitation.

[Autumn]

"Yeah," Iris nodded, looking up from her toes. "You might know them. Uh, they're Medea and Avery." She couldn't exactly remember if they were looking for Lyra and Caleb too, so she added. "And Lyra. And Caleb. Or just any of them." Then she scuffed her toe on the ground.

[~♥Alyssa♥~, Astronomy Master, The Defendant, ALYSSASAUR!]

Kynton shifted his weight from foot to foot, slightly confused. He wasn't exactly sure if what Tristin had said was meant to mess with him or not. "Well, don't bother trying to improve this conversation anymore. Since you showed up it can't be salvaged. Actually, I've been wasting my energy this whole time." He switched his resentful eyes to Iris. "If you haven't found your friends by now, maybe they don't want to hang out with you, either."

[~♥Alyssa♥~, Astronomy Master, The Defendant, ALYSSASAUR!]

((Uh oh.... ^^

LITTLEDOPLHIN!!!! My Christmas was great and I'm great too, thanks! What about you?))

Kynton took a step back from Tristin, his eyes widening at the change that had come over him. what was going on? Then his temper flared up. "Don't push me," he said, each word punctuated with anger. "And don't tell me what I can and can't do. Don't act like you know me. And you know what? I don't care what you think about me. I don't care if nobody likes me. And if I ever find I have friends like her or you, Tristin, I ought to seriously check what's gone wrong with me. So shut your stupid mouth and leave her alone too." He took a few steps closer to Tristin. "You remember our little arm wrestling contest? Well, my fists bet it's time for retribution." He held up his fists for emphasis. Who does this guy think he is?! I'll beat him to a pulp! See, this is why friends are useless. Wasn't this the one guy who was "friendly" to me? He's a jerk I bet. Just like Pyr. And Iris'll end up just like Mara. Except she'll never be as... well, I'd never be friends with Iris like Mara. Mara DID care about me, and Iris is just a stupid girl.

[Autumn]

((Oh my.))
Iris frowned and took a step back. She didn’t know what to do; the girl had never been one for decisions, as she was as indecisive as a child in a candy store. Iris despised, despised, despised, with a passion, fighting. She found it to be everything that was wrong with the world, but at the same time, she wasn’t the type of person to step into other people’s business so blatantly. She was one to abstain. Yet, this was, in a way, her business too as the entire thing was result of Kynton’s insult to her. Which, come to think of it, she did not appreciate, in any way whatsoever. She’d been nothing but nice to him, every word carefully thought out so as not to anger him, and he went and did..did..this. She did, however, appreciate Tristin jumping in to help her. Iris sighed and bit her nail. “Maybe we should…” she didn’t know how to finish the sentence.

[~♥Alyssa♥~, Astronomy Master, The Defendant, ALYSSASAUR!]

Kynton glared at Iris. "What?" he demanded. "Yeah, you have nothing worthwhile to say. Thought so." He turned to Tristin. "And you think I would be scared of you? Trust me, I've had my fair share of difficult situations that you wouldn't ever imagine. All of them more terrifying and painful than anything you could throw my way, Ravenclaw. Don't stereotype me. I'm not that type you think I am. And secondly, if you keep it up you will be getting a fight, "friend" or not." He paused for a moment, actually rather pleased with himself. That speech was very impressive, in his opinion. He ended it with a sneer and another furious glare.

[Autumn]

"Couldn't have said it better myself," she said quietly, mostly to herself, but still audible to the two boys. Then she looked up with a bright smile, just dripping with false cheer. "Well, why don't we go this way?"

[~♥Alyssa♥~, Astronomy Master, The Defendant, ALYSSASAUR!]

Kynton slowly unclenched his fists. What exactly was happening now? So Tristin didn't want to fight, and he hadn't insulted him anymore (I think) and now Tristin wanted to act like nothing had happened and go looking for Iris's friends? Kynton stuck his hand in his pockets and glowered. "Well, have fun and good luck. I'm going." He turned around abruptly and stomped down the hall.

[~♥Alyssa♥~, Astronomy Master, The Defendant, ALYSSASAUR!]

Kynton strained his ears to catch what Tristin was saying to her. He soon gave up trying to hear, but slowed his pace. Not because he kinda did want to go back and help look. No, not at all. Just because.

[~♥Alyssa♥~, Astronomy Master, The Defendant, ALYSSASAUR!]

Kynton came to a quick stop and spun around. He cleared his throat. "Yeah, I suppose so," he said casually. He strolled back toward them, making sure he didn't walk too fast. He opened his mouth to say "Sorry about that," but then realized he shouldn't apologize. I don't apologize. Instead, he nodded coolly. "Just don't annoy me and I'll play nice. I mean, I'd like to help you two find your friends."

[Jessica ❀Sparky❀, Defense Against the Dark Arts Master!]

((*winces* It happened again... I need to stop forgetting to check here. *digs around* Now where is that Caleb...))

[Jessica ❀Sparky❀, Defense Against the Dark Arts Master!]

((Aw, I just read it! *hugs back* It was pretty good! I'm loving the school break. It has been a long, long time! But I'm here again!!))

[Jessica ❀Sparky❀, Defense Against the Dark Arts Master!]

((Haha, okay. I'll go grab him... Well, I know I should read the posts, but has anything big happened?
It went pretty well! I got 100K written during November, and now I'm getting closer to actually being done with the book.))

[~♥Alyssa♥~, Astronomy Master, The Defendant, ALYSSASAUR!]

((Yay!!! *joins hugs*

I think I'm gonna do NaNoWriMo next year! And wow, 100K words... O.O))

[~♥Alyssa♥~, Astronomy Master, The Defendant, ALYSSASAUR!]

((Ooops. Forgot about Kynton.))

Kynton sighed. "Fine. Whatever." He ran his fingers through his short hair, spiking it up. "So where did you say we were looking next? They better show up soon."

[Autumn]

"I have no idea. I was sort of just thinking about wandering, because we might find them...but this is a big castle so that's kind of a stupid idea. Perhaps you have a plan?" Iris smiled brightly, her eyebrows raised expectantly.

[~♥Alyssa♥~, Astronomy Master, The Defendant, ALYSSASAUR!]

Kynton snorted impatiently. "Of course I don't. They're your friends. Maybe we really should just wander around looking for them, because I have no better idea where they'd be." He bit his lip and looked away. Too rude? Not rude enough? "Well, we checked outside and the library, so let's maybe head upstairs."

[Autumn]

"Okay, that sounds fine," Iris began to prance away. Ha. I left him this time. Ha. Ha ha. So maybe the voice in her head was a little bitter, but the point was, it was in her head. Nobody else could hear.

[~♥Alyssa♥~, Astronomy Master, The Defendant, ALYSSASAUR!]

Kynton glanced at Tristin, then followed Iris. He was careful to slouch and drag his feet a little. Make 'em think I don't really want to go with them.

[Autumn]

The boys were being terribly slow. Iris sighed impatiently, bending down to pretend to tie her shoes. Her shoes didn't even have laces.

[Autumn]

Iris laughed softly at Tristin's comment. Of course one of the boys was bound to notice, neither of the two was stupid. "I haven't a clue what you're talking about," Iris joked. "No, I wouldn't want to rush you, since it really isn't a big deal."

[~♥Alyssa♥~, Astronomy Master, The Defendant, ALYSSASAUR!]

Kynton glared at them. "What are you two laughing about?" he demanded. Before he got an answer, he shook his head. "Nevermind. Let's just get this over with. I've wasted enough time on this pointless quest." He strode past both of them, quickening his pace.

[Autumn]

He moves when he's angry, Iris observed. "Sorry, I just thought you might like to meet them," she rose, calling at Kynton's back. She didn't bothering to speed up her pace to match his, partially in fear of leaving Tristin behind. She liked having someone to defend her. Oh, she hadn't thanked him...Gah, stupid Iris.

[Autumn]

"I suppose we should catch up with Kynton. I wouldn't want to anger him. Oh, and thanks for defending me," she added, following after Kynton.

[~♥Alyssa♥~, Astronomy Master, The Defendant, ALYSSASAUR!]

Kynton glanced back at them and felt a stab of anger as he saw them talking. He pushed away the resentment. Good, they can be friends and then I won't have to bother with any of that stuff. Still, he slowed down a little. Not enough that they would notice, just hopefully enough for them to catch up.

[Autumn]

Iris skipped after the boys. She found it to be a quicker mode of transportation than walking and more enjoyable than running. When beside Kynton and Tristin, Iris came to a halt and fell into step with them.

[~♥Alyssa♥~, Astronomy Master, The Defendant, ALYSSASAUR!]

Kynton looked at Iris, rolling his eyes. Why was she so dang happy all the time? She's weird, he thought. It was a little forced. "So..." He let the word hang in the air, trying to indicate with his tone that he wouldn't bother with conversation if they didn't provide it.

[Autumn]

Iris saw Kynton roll his eyes at her. After his moving "So," she considered filling the blank with "I saw you roll your eyes at me." She decided not to. There was a 99% chance that would be offensive. After all, she might have been offended. Instead, she said simply. "So." Repetition was always safe. Mostly. Nobody could be annoyed with you for saying what they just said without being a hypocrite.
