[h2]Luke Schwarz -- Back and Forth[/h2]

[b]"Was it? I didn't feel anything."[/b] he countered, sliding his now dormant scroll into the pocket of his uniform's pants. This was, of course, the absolute truth. With the logical assumption that if his hair moved, its motion could be felt as well-- as it would blowing in the aforementioned wind, for instance -- he was rather skeptical of the notion, despite her complete seriousness in her insistence of the fact. 

[b]"You're really interested in my hair, huh?"[/b] he muttered rhetorically, propping one elbow up on the table and resting his jaw upon it, feeling increasingly less put-off by her unique demeanor the more he grew used to it. It was almost like progressive exposure therapy-- systematic desensitization. Perhaps it was due to increasing familiarity with Gratia herself, but he'd save such hypotheses for Psychology, three periods away.

[b]"I'm a bit surprised, honestly. I'd figure at this school of all places a strange sight would be mostly written off as normal. Especially something so small as my hair appearing to move sometimes."[/b]

Note that he said appearing. It was a very deliberate choice in diction, and I'm sure by now anyone deigning to read will understand what it's getting at. 

[i]I really don't think it is.[/i]

No matter which of them were in the right, though, that [i]had[/i] to be at least more normal than the incident second period. And hey, speaking [i]of[/i] this morning...

[i]Maybe some things just get her going for some reason.

Like in combat class, when she fought Cian. It was like somone'd just lit a fire inside her.[/i]

That stoicism of hers that she had so often wigged him out with, especially in contrast with her aggressive language, has flown out the window. It was like she was almost counteracting that berserker side she'd shown...

Could that be right?
