[hr][center][h2][color=0ea3a5]Eva Moore[/color][/h2][/center][hr] Eva leaned against Val. Relishing in the touch of her wife. The fight continued on, and she winced as another of the Hex Girls students was taken out of the fight. Sure, it was a good thing, but damn, the AA kids weren't holding back. The two boys that Val had first told her about were still in the fight, one of them had gone incorporeal or something. [hr][center][h2][color=004d00]Matt Moss[/color][/h2][/center][hr] [color=004d00]"I'm sorry to hear that."[/color] He understood the feeling. He had known Maria better than Novi, but as he thought about Maria, his only thought had been that 'she was good with a bow'. He had been impressed because of his own skills with weapons, but was that all he could say about her? [color=004d00]"I can't say I know exactly what you're going through. I never got married, though we got close."[/color] There had been a lot of lies between Cass and Matt. More from her than him. It had been upsetting, and in the end, he had decided he couldn't trust her. Part of him wanted to see how he could help. Would Novi accept it? They barely knew each other. Had only interacted during the M-Pox days. He winced at the thought of how, despite everything, the Mist had taken his sister.

[color=D8BFD8]"Yeah, I think that's going to be the match. The academy kids will just do clean-up now. I doubt the Hex Girls can recover from losing Thuy."[/color] She sighed. It was a good thing she hadn't laid down any bets. She would have just lost. A part of her was annoyed. If she had been on the team, she could have been healing them, keeping them up. Their loss. She didn't particularly like that her thoughts had gone that direction, so she let them slide away. [color=D8BFD8]"Now it will be basically one academy team vs another. So the academy wins again either way."[/color] The damage output of those left wouldn't be enough to finish any of the academy kids, especially since most of them hadn't taken any damage yet, and most of the ones left seemed to have a way to protect themselves.

Chase. [color=cde0e1]"We are not dating,"[/color] Ben hissed. [color=cde0e1]"I barely know you. I am definitely not interested in you romantically. I don't even want to be here."[/color] He looked over his shoulder to where his uncle sat. Matt was engaged in a deep conversation with a woman. The one he had greeted when they arrived. Ben let out an exasperated sigh.
