ooh, british accent

[pandion]

It's not like Andi never noticed him before. He's totally cute and everything. She's been noticing boys for, like, a while. (She doesn't have the date noted in Inscrutable Cipher like Bella, but it's definitely been a while.) It's just that until he had to give that report in week two of American History she didn't hear him talk very much.

Mmmmmmmmmmm British accent. There's probably kinds. She can't identify this one and doesn't care, they're all yummy. He's yummy. Yum. She's going to have to talk to him at lunch, or something, if she can get him off by himself. Maybe Bella will help.

Andi scopes out the situation around Ethan Rayne, He Of The Hot Accent, at lunch.

"We could go make out," Trouble suggests.

[pandion]

"It is though! Reese's Pieces are the best candy. Unless it's Starbursts, those are also good."

[instar]

"My agreement with my sister doesn't extend that far."

[aeskhyne]

Trouble shrugs. "Your loss."

[palmofyourhand]

"Ugh, don't get me started," says Ethan. "American candy is a tragedy."

[instar]

"Does offering to make out with near-strangers usually get you very far?"

[pandion]

"Ooh, why, what's British candy like?"

[palmofyourhand]

"Genuinely edible chocolate. Real Smarties, not little tubes of chalk. Maltesers. I can't explain maltesers, just trust me that if you had ever had the pleasure you would miss them too."

[aeskhyne]

Trouble grins. "Sometimes. Sometimes nnnot. Can't hurt, though, can it?"

[pandion]

"What's a 'real' Smartie...?"

[instar]

"I suppose that depends on what you're trying to get."

[aeskhyne]

He tilts his head questioningly. "Mm?"

[palmofyourhand]

"You know M&Ms, right? Think those, but bigger and tastier."

[instar]

"If, for example, you cared about certain aspects of your social reputation, it'd be a bad move. If all you want is to make out with one hundred percent of the people who will respond positively to that invitation, on the other hand, then your strategy is perfect."

[pandion]

"Wait, then why are they called Smarties? Did two different candy companies name different candies that, what about, like, trademarks?"

[palmofyourhand]

"Damned if I know," says Ethan. "Probably it's something to do with the fact that they come from different countries."

[aeskhyne]

"Ooh, you tell me how much I care about my social reputation," snorts Trouble.

[pandion]

"Huh. I bet if I tell Bella about this she'll look it up for me."

[instar]

"I'm going to guess, 'not'," says Bella.

[aeskhyne]

"You win!" says Trouble, clapping his hands. "Wanna guess your prize?"

[palmofyourhand]

"Bella your wingman?" inquires Ethan, with a gesture over his shoulder at Bella and Trouble.

[instar]

"Ten dollar gift certificate to Staples," suggests Bella.

[pandion]

"I, um," says Andi.

[palmofyourhand]

Ethan smirks.

[aeskhyne]

Trouble makes a buzzer noise. "Ennh, wrong!"
