Expressing Yourself » Places

         "I don't know. I don't want to interrupt...something that you two were doing..." Erlin could've tripped over thin air for that. No! Please! Interrupt us as you please!! Make it less awkward than it should be! He tries to reason with himself as he's stuck between which outcome was more tolerable, having to be alone with one person, that one person being an Anaee Randings, or having to interact with two people, with one who was a bit more likable. Anaee had terribly devilish and easily convincing 'acting abilities'. “N-No, we were just having lunch! That’s why I invited you as well…” Erlin raised his brow at the statement, hoping that she'd somehow retract that statement and rephrase it somehow. She made it almost seem as if they were.. He shuddered slightly. He couldn't bring himself to imagine it..

"But I could go for a drink to get my mind off the skirmish that I had ran into." Erlin watched as the crazy red-haired girl was shaking her head excitedly to his words as he could only wonder as to what skirmish he was referring to. "Well, I think it's up to your friend to decide if I should come or go." Anaee couldn’t help but to turn her head and expand her eyes a bit in a pleading way; she looked more like a pathetic puppy than a small girl now. The thought, More the Merrier, right?, was stamped across her forehead in an obvious way as she stared at Erlin. Before Erlin could properly respond, her head swung back towards the black haired boy.

Erlin's lips were beginning to turn into a thin line as he sunk into a more blanker and blanker expression. Don't leave this up to me! He knew that he wasn't the most social person on the planet, but he was aware that having to decide decisions like these were of situations that he rather usually avoided. Why did I say yes again..? .. Oh, yes, the girl's expression. Curse my humanity.

As she introduced herself to the blacked-haired boy, he remained stoic, and in his fit of panic, he unknowingly said a loud without too much thought, "it's quite alright." He isn't able to retract his statement before Anaee becomes excited again. Erlin just stiffly stands awkwardly, as he tried to positively try to reassure himself, bringing himself to try to smile a tightly drawn, small smile, by trying to think of what rations he would need to bring into his room and how well should he lock himself in. .. Perhaps forever? ".. More, the merrier, right?" He nods. Erlin doesn't even want to think about how choppy and incredibly awkward that made him. He awaits for the black-haired boy to catch up with Anaee and him, so they may get this done and over with. Vaguely, he feels the race of an electronic device that contained some previous computer codes for future use in his pocket, and reminds himself to begin working on the design he had been originally out for as soon as possible - ah, the cafe would be suitable enough. .. Let's get going, shall we?
