I'm often told I have a sixth sense when it comes to other people's needs. When I saw you leaning against the wall forlornly while everyone else was happily dancing away... I felt that someone should come and speak with you, even if it wasn't me.
Correct. I believe it happened right before Halloween Week? Floyd came back to the dorm in a fit of pique one day around then. I managed to get him to tell me that something happened between you two, but the particulars elude me. But I noticed he had the exact same look of displeasure today. I feared he might have caused some trouble for you, so I came to inquire about it. Of course, his mood has improved considerably now that the party's underway, but I thought I should check, nonetheless.
Gracious, you're apologizing? I assure you, I was not seeking anything of the sort! It doesn't seem that whatever transpired between you has given rise to anything significant, but one never knows what the future will bring. If you could tell me anything more about what happened between you and Floyd, it might help prevent him from causing you future bother.
Hah. How heartwarming. I think I might cry. Let's see, right before Halloween week... Now that you mention it, I think I saw Floyd during Spelldrive practice one day.
(So basically, he went back to his dorm all bent outta shape 'cause I ignored him.) (Sheesh. I do enough babysitting at home without having to do it at school too.) See, normally I emphasize independence with my team... But we can't hold regular practice on Halloween Week, so I like to ramp up the training a bit on the week before. I think I might've inadvertently ignored Floyd while I was focused on practice. No offense, but I don't have time to play with your darling brother. Sorry.
Please, don't be. If anything, I'm sorry Floyd intruded on your practice time. Floyd has a certain admiration for strong people. You're a rather formidable Spelldrive player... And an equally capable mage. He must have wanted to fight you in earnest.
Yeah, thanks. Sorry to break it to you after all that buttering up, but I got nothin' else to share. If you're tryin' to sniff out intel for your job, you better hit up someone else for it.
Don't you get it? I'm telling you this as a favor. Lemme spell it out—you won't get any more info from me by hanging around. Continuing this conversation would be a waste of both our time.
Hah. Listen to you. If you were actually worried about your brother, you'd be keepin' an eye on him round the clock. There's only one reason you'd use your precious family as an excuse to get close to me. You're fishin' for blackmail material.
That jerk just can't take a hint. Ugh... What a pain. I gotta play these social mind games even on Halloween. At least the easy-to-handle guys are back, so that's SOME consolation.
