The Perk, Thursday Noon
Thursday, November 10th, 2011 04:11 pmAs Ender left the Perk, Peter sank back in his seat. He still wasn't sure what to make of these weekly tête-à-têtes: Ender did not seem to want to impress any particular thing on him, nor did he seem to want anything from Peter. Any idle remarks on Peter's end about Ender pitching in and getting some power were batted aside; any attempts Peter made to drag something out of the conversation that could work in his benefit were efficiently stonewalled.
And still he kept showing up, and so did Ender.
It left Peter feeling a little unsettled, especially in a week like this, where every single thing seemed to go wrong.
Well, whatever. He needed to get it together. He'd gotten too distracted with all of this high school melodrama, and he'd reacted too strongly to Valentine's departure: it was obvious he'd been carrying them for the past few years anyway.
He took another sip of his large coffee and stared off towards the Perk's doors, running his current battery of problems through his head. He was going to figure out every contingency and prepare for it, dammit. Even if it meant wasting most of this month's income on caffeine.
