This had to be happening due to their partnering for that task.
Right about then a thought occurred to Mischa. "Vou are not waiting on Strom, are vou?'' Why was there a sudden pang of...jealousy rippling through him? He shifted uncomfortably. What was happening to him? Petty emotions never bothered him and certainly not who Karina was meeting with.
This was all bothering Mischa now and he was unsure what to do about it.
Continuing on with her earlier musings, Karina's thought train sterted to head toward what ifs. What if she was partnered with Cha in the next round? She rather liked that idea... but then there was all this time before next task so what if they had some of the same classes together? She also, grudgingly, admitted to herself that she liked that thought as well. She continued on in this way for a little bit and so was thinking entirely about Mischa and not at all about her boyfriend when Cha mentioned Ström. She nearly did a double take; luckily she retained her calm, though she may have flushed a bit along the top edge of her cheeks.
"No," the word wasn't an exclamation per se, but it was a strong point. She smiled nervously, a bit surprised at her own tone.
"Ahhh, no. I think he's resting somewhere right now. No, I'm just here to be here." she didn't feel like talking about Ström right now, it made her feel a touch uncomfortable and maybe a bit unsure. Though why she would be feeling unsure, uncomfortable and the works when talking about her own boyfriend, she didn't understand. Especially when she was talking to his best friend.
"Have you had the butterbeer yet?" she asked suddenly changing the subject away from Ström and uncertainty. She had yet to try the famed drink, maybe they could order one.
Er... two.
