Part of the being a people thing, he supposed. "But maybe it's up to those types of people to make a plan and not leave it up to some sort of consensus."
Because maybe the people who were leaders in this school weren't the ones who would end up taking care of the average student, unfortunately. They were taking care of themselves.
"It isn't properly adjusting," Mo argued, although he was smiling as he accepted the gift from her. "Adjusting means that I'm used to it. There are some things you don't ever get used to, even if it's just the way things are. But you can have the point in this debate, because I'm magnanimous when there are gifts involved. THANK you."
Dora rolled her eyes and placed her tea on the table beside her chair before sinking back into the cushions once more.
"People would cook for you if you asked." Which was her way of telling him to just ask, because she would cook for him if he just asked. She was only cooking for West, Alice and Theo right now so another wouldn't be too much of a bother. But she wouldn't do it if he was gonna be all sad about it. She shrugged.
"I'm not really one to wait around for others to make decisions for me."
In the box was a silver
ring that she wasn't sure if he would like or not, but thought it was a nice gift either way. Cause jewelry was always nice.
"I'll take the point, even if it's much more fun to win without buying the points." Her grin was back and she
watched him.
"Go ahead and open it."
