Adrian barely managed to stifle his laughter at, "cum dumpster." Instead he could only marvel at the words she spoke. Usually anyone, regardless of how they got there, would be ecstatic about being ranked first. Yet here was a girl who wasn't, in fact, she was angry, enraged even, that she hadn't earned it. Adrian couldn't say he disagreed with her, he might've felt the same way, but after the punishment he recieved today, he would've preferred if they all stepped down the way Mythos did. 

A grin formed across his face when she openly insulted him. "I'm used to it," he said upon hearing her apology then congratulation. "Thanks, but we're very far from done. From what I hear things only get worse from here on out." 

She remarked how he vocally spoke to her and he replied, "Don't get used to it," he said as he turned to walk away, but stopped mid turn and looked at her, "No doubt you'll be hearing this soon enough, but Benjamin Grant is holding a party at his mansion tonight. You should go, might cool off that hot head of yours." Adrian couldn't help but look into those hazel eyes he felt so attracted to as he spoke to her. His eyes then gravitated toward the rest of her face as it came into view, and remarked to himself how pretty he thought she was.

Just then heroes, villains, minions, and sidekicks began trickling into the hallway, returning from their respective arenas. He quickly realized he was staring and probably making the situation awkward. [i]"Damn. I was never good at talking to people."[/i] He completed his turn and tepathically thought to her, [i]"Congratulations, Lydia,"[/i] and began walking away.
