“So, Ren.
Theoretically---”
The Arc begins, palms upturned and chin pointed high, his tongue lapped against the roof of a drying mouth as he searches carefully for his words; determined not to startle any alarms in his roommate’s head. A soft pop of his lips, a twist of a sneaker against the flooring, and his voice begins again, slow and cautious.
“If say, I, THEORETICALLY told one of the guys on the Basketball team that you taught me a super cool, super secret move that’d make it so I could make. Uh. A throw from waaaaay on the other side of the court. This is all Theoretically, of course, but if I told them that, so they would let me on the team, and now they wanna meet you so you can teach them--....in THEORY, how mad would you be?”
Cue the large, forced grin, eyes of pure blue wide like a puppy begging for scraps. Something in the way he spoke sure made it sound like less than a theory.
