History of Art | March 21, Period 3

Autolycus looks kinda beat up today, there's a documentary playing on the television today.

Class Roster
[ooc: Apologies for the extreme lateness. OCD threads ~~coming~~ are up.]

Xander blinks at that, wondering just what the hell he's supposed to do with and/or make of it. For... what, exactly? Except how much does he not really want to know because that would mean he's actually having this not-quite-conversation?

Eventually he just draws a circle around the question mark. He'd be giving Bridge a cautious look, if he were actually, you know. Looking at Bridge, which not so much.

Saturday. The thing with the- thing.

If this were a verbal conversation, right now would be where the flailing started.

What, because you can't flail nonverbally? Well, okay, if you're Xander it's hard to do anything nonverbally, but he's certainly up for the challenge.

If you're Xander, you can even flail nonverbally and roll your eyes a little at the same time.

Here I was thinking global warming or something. ? = why?

The problem with random flailing is that it tends to attract attention, which is exactly what he's trying *not* to do at the moment.

And, of course, now he's trying to think of how to explain this. Because, really, he's not all that sorry that the kiss *happened*.

I shouldn't have pulled the thing with the fake-out.

Wow, it's completely possible to do a full-body flinch. Yay, learning is fun. Or not.

Xander shrugs hypermegauncomfortably.

Got us out. That was the point, right?

Bridge starts to write a reply.

And then scribbles it out, and starts again.

And then scribbles that out, and starts again.

No ~~Maybe~~ Yes.

I still should have asked. I didn't. Which isn't right, and that's why I'm sorry.

Xander's shrug is jerkier and one more exponential power of discomfort higher than before.

Whatever. Worked. He starts to slide the note back, then hesitates, as if he's trying to rate the masochism of making this exchange last one second longer, against some other motivating factor. He finally takes the paper back to add, Why me?

Yay paranoia. The winner and still champeeen.

Bridge stares at the note for a few seconds.

Because it wouldn't have worked- I couldn't have made it work- if it wasn't you.

He slides the note over while looking in the opposite direction.

Xander stares at the note for [3x²√π(a few) ] seconds, then, since it's the only thing going through his head, writes down

Buh?

and slides the paper towards Bridge, with a cough to get his attention.

Bridge glances back at his desk, and sees the note.

Enthusiasm was the key.

...blink...
...blink...
...blink...

And Xander forgets to use his inside voice. Or his pen.

"Just what the hell made you think I'd be enthusiastic?"

It's... probably not that loud. It just sounds loud. To him. When he realizes he said it out loud.

It sounds pretty loud from Bridge's point of view, too. Probably because it was directed at him.

He spends the rest of the class wishing that he'd been born with a more useful ability.

Like invisibility.

Yeah, invisibility would be nice right about now.
