“You’re welcome,’’ Adi said happily to Ava, his eyes casually sweeping the food table to make sure Benzi hadn’t gobbled everything down. Hehe. The Puff had to keep an eye out on his fellow prefect just as much as he had to keep a look out for potential food fights or other disruptions.

Hmm? Ava preferred her rightful name which was no problem with him. Some persons, he learnt, never appreciated fond nicknames. “Ava it is, then.’’ But he wondered why she never told him this before. He had been calling her Prankster Burton for almost the entire school year. Oh, well.

“Nope, you don’t but winning is just as delicious.’’ Er, maybe not literally but surely his little sister would get what he was drifting at. “How does that taste?’’ he asked nodding at the pie. Omnomnom. He would definitely get a slice or two of his own soon.

Yep, Adi knew Cassie was going to be in the dunk tank but did he want to dunk the woman? What if his dunk caused an injury or something? Nooo, he didn’t like that thought. “I’ll be over there, Professor. I hope you have fun! It was awfully nice of you to volunteer to do that.’’ All of the Professors were, in fact. He grinned, not wanting Cassie to get too emotional. It was a great day to be happy! “Please tell Professor Glendower I said hi when you see her next.’’ Those two were close, he knew.

“That makes two of us, Mr K,’’ Adi said with approval for the Librarian. Yes, why barf up all the food that had been delicious on the way down but was going to be a whole different story on the way up? He also made a mental note of the man’s preference in relation to help from a fellow staff. You know, just in case a situation ever happened. “It is! You should try it out before the event’s over.’’ Mr K unleashing his childishness… that would be something to see. Or if he was too bashful, she could always have a go when most of the students had gone.

“Maybe you do but I know you won’t mind interacting with them as a dragon.’’ Was he right? WAS HE RIGHT, BENNY? “Of course! I have to make the most of them, you know.’’ Adi wasn’t one to waste opportunities that came his way. He was smirking at Benny and the redness and swallowing his bit of cheese, he turned in the direction to which Benny had indicated to see Henric and Ilia.

“Yup and that’s great!’’ Adi was super happy for his friends. Though he still felt ashamed for his behavior at the Treehouse, it had clearly helped Henric see the light (#SeeingTheBrightSideOfThings). Oh well. Stuff happened. You learn and move on. As for now, he won’t disturb the other couple. Let them spend time together. He turned his attention back to his boyfriend. “You up for trying the sweet stuff now?’’ Because Adi had no problem eating it all… oh no,. wait. He couldn’t do that. Hehe.
