[@Lucius Cypher][@Abillioncats] [Color=ffb7c5][Center][h3]Annabelle Valentine[/h3][/center][/color] [Color=ffb7c5][Center]Oh...[/center][/color] [i]Fuck me. At this point I'm seventy percent sure he's figured me out. Even if he hasn't... shit just got real. So much for the girlfriend question throwing him off. At least, if what he said is true, my fishing got an answer. He's got a girl and deep stuff going no less. That's an Abort right there. Hell, even if that's a lie that only means he knows what I'm up to and is just screwing with me right back. Again, might as well Abort. Rrgh, but admitting defeat suuuuuuccckks.[/i] She sighed and leaned back, looking over her shoulder at the waiter. [Sub][Color=ffb7c5]"I'm sorry, Shuai sempai. I am not worthy of your praise."[/color][/sub] She leaned forward and put her face in her hands, making a whining sound as she did so. [Color=ffb7c5]"I'm sorry. I didn't expect that would be your response. I shouldn't have brought it up."[/color] There was still a one percent chance Gren was lying about having a girlfriend for some other reason and he still didn't know she was messing with him. But even she couldn't work with odds that fractional. [i]This is the point where you need to back off, Valentine. If my game's not a complete bust it might as well be considered a lost cause for now. At least now I know if I wanna have fun like that again I can't just assume it'll be so easy.[/i] [Color=ffb7c5]"Why don't we go on ahead, then. We'll see you after you get your food? And you'll bring Scoot, too, won't you? I won't get to meet my team until tomorrow. But still there is plenty to celebrate tonight!"[/color] Well, she could still say today wasn't a total loss. She was still a student at Beacon. And she now had her first soul sister ever which had to be one of the coolest things that had ever happened to her in her [b]life![/b] [I]And Emmie is the cutest thing [b]ever![/b] She just got so excited to think her friend had a girl. Probably... not the same tone anymore after that whole deal. In fact, I hope...[/i] Annabelle looked to Emerald, suddenly a little worried that Gren's sad tale of love might have upset her.
