Re: Blake & Ric (uh oh) [study]
Blake looked up the moment he heard Ric's voice, his glasses almost falling off his nose because of the speed. Though he didn't know the ins and outs of their previous relationship he certainly knew how he felt on seeing him: a surge within that stomach, in his insides, of both happiness to see him and tension. Now being well-practiced at disguising his emotions Blake managed to offer him a small smile.
"No," he answered with a chuckle, "sorry I - wanted to get out of the way of the possible explosions that might happen outside. There are so many ties and lines between all of them it's enough to fill three novels. Wanted somewhere quiet... didn't mean to intrude on your private selection."
