"I betcha that I can read your mind, tell you everything you're goin' through. Baby, I try to find a thousand reasons why you're alone and actin' so cold. . ."
The knob slowly turned, as Quistis glanced in, noticing Headmaster Cid sitting in his usual desk chair. The rounded man greeted her with a willing smile, as he reluctantly stood up, and instructed her to a chair beside another. There was a long pause, as Irvine Kinneas' eyes glanced behind his shoulder, as it met hers.
"Oh," Quistis uttered, nearly a sudden urge. She slowly sat down beside the tall cowboy, as her hands prompt on her lap. "You called?"
Cid slowly ran to a form of papers stack on his desk, as he continued to speak, "Well, yes. I've checked all sessions, and it seems your class schedule would fit another student."
"Matron insisted this?" Quistis questioned, abruptly. Cid shook his head, with that same everlasting smile he always wore.
"We all know that Irvine isn't yet a SeeD," the round man began, "and after transferring here for permanent stay at Balamb Garden, its under our regards to request a class for SeeD cadets." Quistis' blue eyes slowly glanced over at Irvine from the corner, as she let out a sigh, but in place a bright smile.
"If you insist," the young woman initiated, "It would be my pleasure. If you'll excuse me, I've got something to attend to." With that, she slowly arose from her chair, as she exited the doorway, Irvine following after.
"I hope you know the schedule and what's expected," Quistis said, without checking to see if he had been behind her.
Irvine shrugged, as his hands dove into his coat pocket, "Shouldn't be any worse than Galbadia. After all, havin' a teacher like you, Quistis. It would be my pleasure."
The young blonde woman reluctantly swung around, her eyes peered up into his. She smiled, slightly, "Yes. And from this point, you will adress me as Instructor Trepe."
A smile slowly found way to Irvine's lips, as he replied, "What? No exeptions? Considering we went through that whole---"
"Irvine," Quistis uttered, her eyes fixed upon his, "I tolerate you." With that, the young woman slowly turned into the opposite direction, leaving him to stand there, pondering on her sudden words. Irvine's eyebrow rose, as he gently rubbed the back of his neck, turning towards the dorm rooms. Tolerate? It couldn't help but cause the man to laugh a bit. What, was he some kind of child or pet to be tolerated?
"Irvine!" a voice called out in the distance, as he quickly swung around on que. He let out a breath, as he noticed another angered looking expression upon Sirinya's face. She quickly made way to him, as her eyes pierced into his. "I was lookin' for you."
"There's alot of people lookin' for me, dear," Irvine replied, reluctantly shrugging it off as he continued to walk down the corridor.
"Are you still mad at what I said earlier?" Sirinya questioned, as she kept pace beside him.
"No," was his curt reply, as his eyes never met hers. "You had the right to say what you did. It doesn't bother me."
Sirinya rolled her eyes, as she came to a stop, letting him walk ahead, "So the fact that I'm pregnant doesn't bother you?" Irvine quickly paused in his tracks, as he swung around, a confused questionable look upon his face.
"Oh, that got your attention," the young woman retorted, sarcastically. She immediately came to his side, as her hands pressed on his arm. "I'm sorry....if I could make it up to you, you know I would." There was a long pause, as Irvine simply gawked back at her, without a train of thought of words to comply. What was he supposed to say? 'Yes, I commit to you'? She wasn't exactly what he'd have in mind as a soulmate. God, the word probably didn't even exist in his vocabulary.
"Listen, Sirinya," Irvine began, simply, as he felt her arms encircle around his neck, "I'm not for that rite now. I've got classes to think about." Ooo, some excuse, he thought, but hey, its a start.
"Yeah, I heard," the young woman began, removing her arms from him, "Well...I'll just leave you alone for today. I'll see you again soon, right?" Irvine slightly closed his blue eyes as he nodded, in agreement. Sirinya smiled, as she gently kissed him on the cheek and headed in the other direction.
