Max focused a bitter glare down at the paper he was writing on, his hand noticeably clenching the pen a bit tighter. Was he really that far behind? Lightbulb was understandable, he clearly had connections to some prestigious tutors or lifelong grooming regimen, but this girl looked far too casual for that. Was this just rebelliousness on her part? He didn't know whether to like her more or less for that. Or, maybe she was just lucky. He'd have to ask pale girl if she knew her affinity already too, but that would involve interjecting himself back into [i]that[/i] conversation and he sure as hell wasn't about to do that. 

[color=f26522]"I can only hope."[/color]

Oh good, a distraction. He didn't have to answer her earlier question, if he was lucky. She was less confident in that one. Was she scared? Hoping doesn't sound like fear. Curious.

[color=8585AD]"Got a grudge to settle?"[/color] he questioned with a tad bit more enthusiasm in his voice than normal, brow raised as he shot a sideways glance at her, [color=8585AD]"Or are you just one of those weirdos that gets off to challenges?"[/color]
