Max rolled his eyes at Aaron's comment as one of the attendants started handing back all his contraband. What the fuck was Max going to do with that now? The whole point was to cheat on the test, and he'd be damned if he pilfered shit from one of the alchemy labs for nothing. Maybe he could use it to fuck with Aaron more; he was humoring Max's riffing without dismissing him, so the metal mage wasn't out of the woods yet.

[color=8585ad]"[i]Ha[/i],"[/color] he drolled in an unamused monotone, [color=8585ad]"Yep, you got me, we're besties."[/color] In all fairness, Eris [i]did[/i] say that facetiously before, [color=8585ad]"If he wanted to shut up for once; who am I to stop him?"[/color]

Speaking of besties, it would probably be better to handle the issue now rather than later. Or even better, try to push the burden onto someone else. The mage pulled his newly-retrieved phone out as he paused briefly, idly typing out a warning text to Ismene. He was really hoping he didn't get tasked with any Eris-wrangling in return, but she likely knew Eris' habits the best. If she thought the situation was an issue, it probably was.

[color=8585ad][i]I think our mutual friend|[/i][/color]

Nope, he couldn't send that one with a straight face. Backspace that.

[color=8585ad][i]I think our mutual associate|[/i][/color]

Much better.

[color=8585ad]> [i]I think our mutual associate is fumbling right into Cinnamon's hands rn, ill keep you posted[/i][/color]

There. Sent. Maybe he'd get lucky and she could handle the fallout while he got the wipe his hands clean of the whole situation.

[color=8585ad]"Besides, Count No-Fun-Allowed would've thrown a tantrum and probably used you as an example for proper mage-rearing technique. You can't be [i]that[/i] much of a masochist,"[/color] Max continued as if nothing had happened. He didn't really wanna hear Cinnamon bitch either. His eyes hurt, he was cold, he was tired, and he apparently had some stupid poitical game on his hands tonight; last thing he needed was a headache from some whiny leech. Plus the uneven distribution of weight on his arms was starting to fuck with him; he should've taken his other vambrace off Eris when he had the chance.
