'[color=aba000][i]Weirdo[/i][/color]' he thought to himself as he watched her walk away. [color=bc8dbf]”My past...I won’t let it shadow me. My future is mine to make. Do you agree, mister Alexander?"[/color] Justine saying his name drew his attention back to her "[color=aba000]I mean...yeah? I'll admit, I'm not the best one to talk to about stuff like that. My own past was really just that of an unwanted orphan, one among many. I'd like to think that it doesn't 'shadow me', but I can't really say that it hasn't shaped who I am today. Most of what I do in my free time is just all the stuff I always wanted to do back in the orphanage. I'm not sure if that means it's 'shadowing me' or not though.[/color]" He put a quick barrier down in mid air. A small one for him to sit on "[color=aba000]Although I probably don't have as much baggage in my past as you seem to, so I'm not sure if anything I have to say is of any use to you. Well that, and I'm not that great at talking to people in general. Hell, the only reason why Lily and I ever got as far as we have is because she's cheerful enough to just ignore my natural grumpiness.[/color]" He sighed, as he thought for a few seconds, before coming to a decision "[color=aba000]Right, fuck it.[/color]" He got back to his feet "[color=aba000]I'm man enough to admit when I have no idea what I'm doing, and you [i]clearly[/i] need some kind of help. So I'm breaking out my nuclear option and deploying a tactical Lily...fuck, did I really just say that?[/color]" He grabbed her wrist and dragged her towards Lily "[color=aba000]Even if I can't say or do anything to cheer you up, I know someone who probably can. And if I just leave you alone, you'll probably just keep mopping all by yourself[/color]" '[color=aba000][i]And it'll leave a bad taste in my mouth if I just ignore someone like this on Christmas. I blame Lily for that[/i][/color]' He added in his head. "[color=aba000]Hey Lily, look who I found![/color]" He called out to said girl
