[color=fff200]"Huh?"[/color] Desmond looked at April as she mentioned him helping her find Hope. He was about to say yes, but didn't find the time to at that moment as she was already pulling him away. Nervously glancing back, he could just see smiles from Rick and Viola, which caused him to turn his head back to look strait ahead due to a slight uncomfortable feeling that there was something he had missed. 

Listening to April speak as they slowed down, he was surprised by her words. [color=fff200]"Hate you?"[/color] His tone expressed his confusion, as he continued walking. Now more beside her, rather than being dragged. [color=fff200]"I don't hate you. I've had a great time since we arrived!"[/color] He replied, offering a small smile. [color=fff200]"You helped me a lot by getting me into one of Mr. Pike's classes, and that battle was amazing to watch. I haven't had a fun day like this in awhile, honestly."[/color] He explained briefly, appreciating her company more than she thought. 

He figured that if one day with her was this entertaining, traveling together would be a blast. His feelings about traveling with her began shifting in a positive direction, and he noted that tomorrow he had to win that battle against Viola, and head off back towards home with her to pay Grant another visit. His dad would probably be happy to see him back, too. Though Desmond could only wonder how he'd react to April. 

Thoughts of his father got interrupted as his stomach growled, causing him to looked downwards for a moment before looking back at April. [color=fff200]"How about we go get something to eat after we find Hope?"[/color] He asked, almost forgetting about his food shortage due to the battle he had witnessed. Thankfully his stomach brought him to his senses in that regard.
