[quote=knight125] (Sorry, I'm eager to post. If you want to skip the drive, feel free to ignore his question and just initiate a small time skip)Ben chuckles, "Flying spiders are actually pretty common. If a spider is small enough, it can climb to the top of something really tall, stand on its hind legs, and shoot a few strands of web. They somehow automatically from a triangular, parachute looking thing, that then enables the spider to glide for several miles under the right conditions." He opens the door to his car for Kijani, then slides into the driver's side once Kijani is in the car. As they leave the Academy, Ben asks, "So Kijani, you're a female. Have any of our classmates told you they're interested in me?" [/quote] Kijani raised her eyebrows, a faint smile tugging at her lips. "I don't have a lot of time to girl-talk with the others, unfortunately." She wondered if she needed to remedy that. Alliances needed continuous upkeep, after all. Her gaze looked over Ben studiously, before she nodded. "If I wasn't with Connor, I'd probably be looking in your direction. If it's any consolation, anyway." She shrugged a bit.
