Since the moment he got up, Eris' evening was a blur. The practical wasn't exactly a surprise at this point, but the reality of it hadn't really hit him until now. From the time they had left the dorm to getting on the bus, the blond was hit with an absolutely terrible realization: he was going to have to rely on his mage for this. As in, Eris Samael, vampire actor and superior being, was going to be rendered helpless and forced to rely entirely on Maxwell Alderman, a vampire-hating mage who would probably sell him to the devil for one corn chip if the opportunity presented itself.

So needless to say, Eris was a little stressed.

He did make sure to wear the [url=https://discountproductsonsale.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/06/2019-Men-s-Fashion-Sportswear-Men-s-T-Shirt-Men-s-Long-Sleeve-Fitness-T-Shirt.jpg]cheapest clothes[/url] he owned--to add insult to injury, they were going to be wandering through the dirty outdoors, stars knew only why--since he wasn't about to ruin a good suit. He also didn't doubt for a second that Alderman wouldn't take advantage and have him stumble and crash into every tree possible. Suddenly Ismene's insistence that they got along seemed like a warning for the future, but it was far too late to rectify that. And Eris wasn't about to do anything asinine like ask him to go easy. In fact, he barely spoke to the mage aside from a few "mhms" and grunts.

The cherry on top was not even getting the chance to whine, because for once, Eris was not the biggest drama queen on the bus; Varis was throwing a fit. Not on the bus, of course, but he had known the vampire long enough to tell his mood just by looking at him. And sure enough, once they got off and the announcements were made, he watched Varis make a beeline for the princess. Eris felt completely abandoned, but he hung his head in defeat, giving Alderman a wary glance (to which he was sure was met with glee) and dragged himself off to the princess with the other vampires.

Moping around caused him to bump into someone; he straightened up immediately. [color=ccff99]"So sorry about that--"[/color] But the apology died in his throat as he realized he had bumped into the only blond on campus that actively irritated him. [color=ccff99]"Oh, Count Benson, it's you."[/color] Whether it was being already annoyed at the practical or still being annoyed with their previous conversation, Eris hid his disdain poorly. He examined Benji's face carefully, finger tapping his chin. [color=ccff99]"You look nervous, what's wrong?"[/color] He asked, crossing his arms.
