Rav couldn't help but nod when Alicia mentioned the long lines from before. [color=a0410d]"Took hours just to get registered."[/color] He muttered in agreement. He remembered that he had to stand in line for so long that he was just glad they opened early so the sun wasn't beating down on them constantly. Plenty of his friends woke up early to stand in line, but Rav almost always wakes up late for things like this. Don't blame him for not looking forward to something as long and as boring as that. 

"[color=red]This line is nothing compared then. Probably because Varjan's participating in the tournament.[/color]"

[color=a0410d]"You're right about that. Guess they chickened out."[/color] Varjan was their school's prodigy. Something of a star student. He was in a league of his own even among the best of the best. Their teachers always sung praises for the guy. Sometimes, it gets a little too much. Rav knew that he was a great mage and all, but people don't have to always rub that in his face. Geez.

His ears perked up when he heard shouting. Angry shouting. He looked over as the others did and there Varjan was, being shouted at by his mother. [color=a0410d]"Is he being told off again?"[/color] He asked in no one in particular. Rav held no fondness for their family, aside from Varjan of course. There was something about them that rubbed him the wrong way. 

[color=a0410d]"Well at least she has ideas. I got nothing."[/color] Rav replied with a shrug, not bothered by his lack of knowledge of defeating Varjan. [color=a0410d]"I'll make one up on the spot. I always do."[/color] He grinned at them as he said this. It's not like he would die when the duel is done.
