More continued to pile in while Nathaniel retreated more and more into the back corner of the room in silence. He felt a bit suffocated with how many students were there now. He hoped they'd be dismissed soon so he could hide away in his room working on his experiments until their next training. Nothing sounded better than hiding away in his lab right now.
It seemed his prayers had been answered when Mycroft, Alfred, and Phil announced they could all open their envelopes. Nathaniel didn't leave where he was to read it. He already had his suspicions it would be something he would prefer to stay out of. "Are you fucking kidding me!? We went through all of that... For a fucking ball!?" It was worse than he thought. He'd have to show up to a social event and wear a monkey suit. He sure hoped there was a way out of it though it seemed no one has a choice in the matter. Why did it have to be a ball invitation? Why couldn't it just be a coupon for pizza? Or a week off from training?
Nathaniel was too lost in his thoughts to even realize Frankie approached him. "Hey... Umm... I'm heading up to my room, Phoebe might be coming. I just thought I'd see if you wanted to come hang out with us. You don't have to, just thought I'd offer." She patted his upper arm while Nathaniel tried to process how to even respond to her. "And good job in their partner." He ended up just standing there with flushed cheeks in dead silence only making the interaction more awkward until she walked back to her friends.
He continued to stand there for a few more moments while Frankie talked with her friends. He waited until all of them began to leave before finally approaching Frankie though he did catch the end of what Phoebe had to say. "I'm going to go put these weapons back in my room. I'll see you in a bit. You're going to have to tell me all the itty bitty details of your time with Bane Jr...I'm dying to know more." Nathaniel's cheeks flushed an even brighter red than before. He debated turning around and running off right there but instead he tapped Frankie's shoulder gave her a nervous smile. He didn't say anything but motioned for them to go ahead and head upstairs.
