[color=ed145b][h3]Hironaka, Severa[/h3][sub][i]First Impressions[/i][@NobodiesHero][/sub][/color] [hr] Truthfully, it didn't matter how Four-Eyes answered her question, Severa wasn't going to be completely satisfied with the answer in any way. In fact, Severa had found a way to take offense to the way Four-Eyes had worded his response. Completely unnecessary offense, but offense nonetheless. Severa clenched her teeth and scowled. In the back of her head, she knew it was excessive but with her thoughts mainly dwelling on her friend being a no show. However, she couldn't help but lash out at the closest being. [color=ed145b]"That's a [i]dumb[/i] reason, but if you want to quit early and say you aren't going to win competitions, I don't care."[/color] Severa paused for a moment, eyeing a group of students that had suddenly burst out in laughter. [color=ed145b]"Besides, everyone is taking the time to get all chummy with one another so they can team up later. You could be doing that too instead of reading..."[/color] Severa added sternly but started to drift off towards the end of her statement. She never was the best at making friends, even before she got her temper. She was always so shy to meet new people that it felt crippling. Now, she tried to tell herself she didn't care and for the most part it worked in fooling her into thinking that. A few awkward moments of silence descended upon the pair, Severa pretending not to notice as she glared venomously at passerbys before finally caving and chiming in again. This time, she did better in sounding halfway decent. [color=ed145b]"So... You're confident in your skills but think you'll lose, huh. Why do you say that?"[/color] Severa inquired, as she honestly didn't believe in quitter talk like that.
