The boy nodded his head as Ella approved of the plan and distracted himself with bringing the girl's old letter to the flame of the candle sitting on the table. He usually kept Ella's letters to him, but he was definitely not going to keep this one. He turned his gaze away from the fire as Ella spoke again, this time asking if he wanted to know about Alec.
Edric returned to his blunt and less mysterious ways: "Not really, no." The letter had caught fire and eventually became nothing more than ashes on the surface of the table. Edric remained silent for a moment before asking, "Alright, how is he?" He figured he should make an effort if he didn't want Ella hating him and pulling more clever pranks on him.
Ella didn't mind the eye rolling, y'know. She was used to Edric's reactions when she got all excitable. She was a teenage girl so you'd think he'd be used to it by now. Besides, she'd only been telling Edric and Eve they were perfect for each other for ages and NOW they were going to move in together. Someone was feeling smug, okay. Only a little but still. GRIN.
And then Orge was being a pyro inside the pub and Ella's eyes widened.
"Edric! You can't do that!" What if he set the table on fire or something? What if he set her
hair on fire? O.o MEEP. STAWP OGRE. Luckily, he did stop when the thing burned up completely but still. Not cool.
She was frowning at him now too. Full on frowning because he was acting like a jerk.
"You could at least pretend to like him." For her.
"And he's great. Thanks for asking." Only not really.
