... Wait, what? I meant you can be a hero without literally fighting bad guys and saving kitten, mate. What are you on about? -Bridget...-
sugoooi: (ahahaaa...yeahhhh...)

Oh, uhh--nothing! Nothing at all, hehe... You're right!

[ She says she likes me... Or well, his quirkiness. But he'll take it, cheeks warming humbly as he nods. ]

O--okay! It was really night to meet you Bridget...

[personal profile] sugoooi 2014-11-21 04:35 am (UTC)(link)
Yeah--I haven't been by it yet. It's on the second floor, 201 I think? It's in the packet they gave me earlier. [ The one he tucked away into his backpack earlier and didn't look over. ]

No! I mean--no...um, that's fine! I'm really okay with that! [ He just can't believe the school is too. ] I'd be happy to share a room with you Bridget...!
