Re: Rinoa and OPEN - 10:45ish
It was hard not to nod in response. Yeah, seven was pretty stupid, but Irvine was pretty convincing and you were kinda cute about it and WHY AM I THINKING THIS. His fingers traced along the lip of his glass, perhaps too much. Now the nervous habits were settling in and Squall was eager to look for a way to jump out of the situation he managed to fall into. And from what he could gather, the weight of her sigh reflected a lot of what he was feeling, too. You're the one who came up to me and thought starting a conversation was a bright idea.
Though he was happy that Rinoa was the one who tried to find a plausible way to walk out. He didn't blame her. Squall wasn't exactly being the most social person that very moment. And it was better than him just walking away without saying a word. In his travel over to fetch drinks, he spotted the blonde somewhere in the crowd. Quickly recalling the location, Squall gestured over in the general direction. "She's over there somewhere. Been pretty busy with throwing a party and all."
