It took Alex a while to process everything and respond. Really, everyone was surprisingly on brand, or at least meeting his expectations. From Ritzy being somewhat snappy, to Dilan abandoning everything to go make pancakes… This was what he’d signed up for. The confusing thing was Aya. Was she touching him under the table? [i]Why[/i] was she touching him under the table? Alex had asked the others if they had questions, but now he just found himself left with questions of his own. She wanted to talk strategy with him? But why? He was a [i]battler[/i], not really a coordinator. He could do it, but he wasn’t the best. That was more Ritzy and Aya’s domain, which was why he’d drafted them in the first place… But! He was a good team leader. All of them were hungry. Alex could understand that. Thinking made you hungry, and looking at the upcoming enemy was certainly enough to make someone [i]think[/i], which in turn made one hungry. Once Harry [i]and[/i] Sully alike had asked about going to eat, all Alex could really do was shrug his shoulders and say, [color=46c7db][b]“Oh, yeah. Sure, go get something to eat. You can just go raid the kitchen whenever you want, Sully. I’m pretty sure that we just have whatever we ask for, so go nuts. If I were you though, I’d try to get pancakes from Dilan. Dude can cook.”[/b][/color] With that, Alex had effectively dismissed the party, and he turned his attention to Aya, squinting with narrowed eyes. [color=46c7db][b]“I mean, if you want? I’m not really… a coordinator, though. But if you wanna talk about strategies I guess I can give you some opinions? ...where do you wanna talk?”[/b][/color] Alex had to do his [i]own[/i] stratagems and stuff, but he was the team captain. He had to give time to those on his team who needed it.[/indent][/indent]
