"It's very important to give emphasis. I love the earth! We love the earth!" Yes, she was so bringing him into this. Without their planet, there would be no place else for their shenanigans - and for both her micropipettes and microphones. A girl can be many things! As to his question, Cella's absolutely mature-big-girl response was sticking her tongue out at him. That's her answer. He will have to deal with it.
Plus, she likes to collect her wins. Another one, thank you! "And because I won, that means you get to choose which café we're going to." Cella was very generous, you see. Likewise, it was always the better decision to make him decide where to get anything coffee-related. This birdie did not have much standards when it came to the beans and the roast and the whatever, so long as she got her sugary treat.
Romantic? Oh yes, that's her right here! Of course! You should see how she takes great care of the underwater camera she bought (with her own money!) for her field days. So loved, so babied. Cella wiggled her free pointy finger like a little pompom in the air, but immediately stopped to poke at his side when he goes to describe her scaring something out of his classmates. "Hey!" She let out a laugh, but the mental image was slowly demystifying. Claude's uni pals trying to mansplain, what, the stock exchange to her, as if she had no idea what maths or supply and demand were. The latter may not be her strong suit, but come on. "Do I have to dress up, too?" Because then she'd need time to figure that out. Rarely did Cella get the opportunity to dress up fancy when she was always in a lab coat or some sun gear.
Yeah, yeah, yeah! Of course she knew. It didn't mean she couldn't tease about it. Didn't he read the fine print of her counteroffer to their contract? Tsk. "Only seabirds around me these days, birdie. And then, remember that girl from the party we went to a few months ago? We texted a bit, but then she didn't get any of my puns." Ariana was nice, though. They were friends until that conversation kinda just...faded. Yikes. It's true. She was his one and only. How fortunate, then, that he didn't mind if her head grew bigger than it already was to begin with. Big head, bigger brain, biggest nerd, etcetera.
"In fact," he turned to the people (all of whom were rightfully avoiding eye contact). "She loves the earth so much that she has prepared an interpretive dance about it, which she plans on performing right here, right now!" Go Cella, go! One night, and one night only! How generous she is indeed! He waited for her to begin. Go on then, birdie. Show them how much you love mother earth.
Being a nightmare was one of his many talents. Another one of his talents? Finding excellent coffee. So he really didn't mind the task that Cella assigned him. "I'd be my pleasure," though they ought to revisit this game of theirs as Claude would like a referee to validate this so called win. He doesn't recall conceding, he simply complimented. There is a difference. And he'd gladly point it out.
He relished in her temporary laughter before the impending horror set in. Chad would take great pleasure offering her an unprompted explanation for why they couldn't simply 'just print more money,' while Beau would go on and on about some insider trading scandal. Yawn. Claude would do his best to shoo Chad away, but somehow, the distaste only made him stronger. "No feathered boas," he warned with hidden mischief. Seabirds over seeing bros any day. And in any case, Claude didn't deem any of them important enough to meet Cella. Though it could make for an interesting social experiment if he were ever bored enough.
"Shame." Ariana, what are you doing here? "Maybe we ought to go birding today." Claude famously enjoys playing the part of wingman (cluck, cluck) - he's a natural born talent. "Have you tried the library? I hear it's a breeding grounds for nerds." Surely they could find someone who'd enjoy her puns whilst pinned against the poetry shelves.
