Re: [Bathos]
"Oh. Good." Blytech relaxed visibly before he straightened to his full height. "Yeah, I can do that for sure." He grinned at her, gave her a thumbs up, and then trotted toward the policeman with a stupid look on his face.
As soon as the officer noticed Blytech, he came toward the younger kid, trying to indicate he needed to get back. But Blytech ignored him and launched into a flurry of questions using gimmicky jargon that wouldn't make the least bit of sense to anyone. The officer stared at him. When Blytech fell silent, the other guy tried to answer, and the kid just started going again, this time on the subject of angry parents and the university and what would people say know there were "kids" who were in "danger." The officer stared.
