“It wasn’t so much the intimidation factor as it was the fact that in the late 1990’s, those things used to get dudes all the chicks!” Eisen said earnestly. “Emo bands? Wore them all the time and chicks were constantly throwing themselves at him!” he smirked, because it was obviously absurd, the idea that it was the glasses that got them the attention. “C’mon, man, think outside the box.” He was kidding, and the grin on his face was plain-as-day evidence of that. “I wasn’t even thinking of that. More that dudes in spandex should be abolished in general.”
He wasn’t surprised that Rory caught on right away to the fact that he’d seen Cait. Eisen, generally speaking, was a friendly guy. He got along with most everyone he encountered. Cait was the only person who could make him tense, just with the sight of her. “Everything was…well, you can imagine. Cait, though she never actually said so, was assigned to evaluate Lexie. Naturally, when she saw me leaving with nothing wrong with me, she pieced two and two together and knew where I was heading out from, too,” he explained. “She started downtalking Lexie. For once, though, I got her frustrated and she left, not vice versa. I was pretty surprised.”
