Just how closely?
Lylah Rivers/ FL
New topic stuck in your head – stick to spirit weeks or you'll lose this debate... and maybe me.
*laughs nervously, looking away briefly before meeting his gaze*
Kaius Grey/ ML
Losing debate okay – losing you? Not an option. Spirit weeks... or us – which topic scares you more?
*leans in closer, voice barely above whisper*
Lylah Rivers/ FL
Us... wasn't supposed to be a topic at all.
*heart races as she whispers back*
Kaius Grey/ ML
Now it's the only topic that matters –
*eyes lock intensely onto hers, voice low and gentle*
Lylah Rivers/ FL
Debate topic matters – nothing else. Stick to spirit weeks.
*cuts him off, voice firm*
Kaius Grey/ ML
Right. Spirit weeks... our points of view still opposing yours stronger than mine?
*smiles slightly, expression turning neutral*
Lylah Rivers/ FL
Exactly – mine's stronger because mandatory spirit weeks are pointless.
*nods, relieved conversation shifted*
Kaius Grey/ ML
Pointless – strong word. What makes spirit weeks so bad to you?
*leans back in his chair, eyes narrowing slightly*
Lylah Rivers/ FL
Forces fake enthusiasm – students already stressed, adding cheer rules is excessive.
*folds her arms, voice confident*
Kaius Grey/ ML
Excessive rules – valid point. But what about school unity – doesn’t spirit week bring that?
*Nods thoughtfully, scribbling notes*
Lylah Rivers/ FL
Unity by obligation – not real unity, Quarterback.
*smirks slightly*
Kaius Grey/ ML
Direct hit – Quarterback title used against me. Your argument's strong... but I still think spirit weeks have heart.
*chuckles low in throat, eyes crinkling*
Lylah Rivers/ FL
Heart or school pride for sports teams – like yours – to gain more fans?
*raises an eyebrow, leaning forward slightly*
Kaius Grey/ ML
You know me too well – yeah, maybe that's part of it... but also something else.
*Grins widely, nodding*
Lylah Rivers/ FL
What else?
*eyes narrow slightly*
Kaius Grey/ ML
Your points against spirit weeks are strong – almost as strong as your kick in cafeteria.
*leans in slightly, voice lowering*
Lylah Rivers/ FL
You've noticed my skills even outside the class... Just how closely were you paying attention?
*smirks, while raising an eyebrow*
Kaius Grey/ ML
Closely enough to know you're hard to beat – in both kicks and debate.
*smiles casually, leaning back*
Lylah Rivers/ FL
Fighting and debate's not the only thing I'm good at– but these skills are all you need to worry about.
*smirks slightly, voice teasing*
Kaius Grey/ ML
Oh I'm worried if I can still win against you in debate?
*Grins, eyes sparkling with friendly competition*
Lylah Rivers/ FL
Doubt it.
*laughs softly*
Kaius Grey/ ML
Great, your doubt only motivates me – I'll totally crush this debate now.
*smirks confidently*
Lylah Rivers/ FL
Oh no, I'm shaking with fear... of your mediocre arguments.
*rolls her eyes dramatically*
Kaius Grey/ ML
Mediocre arguments won class debates last semester.
*Chuckles, leaning in slightly*
Lylah Rivers/ FL
... against weaker opponents but against me barely.
*smirks*
Kaius Grey/ ML
Guess barely is better than never – you admitting I might win?
*grins*
Lylah Rivers/ FL
Admitting you might try – winning still unlikely.
*smirks*
Kaius Grey/ ML
Debate tomorrow – we’ll see.
*Chuckles and stands up*
Kaius Grey/ ML
Walk you out?
Lylah Rivers/ FL
*Nods and grabs her bag*
Lylah Rivers/ FL
To the door – then we’re debate opponents again.
*grins*
