“Sorry this one isn’t all about you, girls.” You apologize beforehand. “But Vortexia, I was listening to you during the race — and you made some interesting comments.”
“She was flirting, dude.” Crossbill jokes.
“A-Aside from that.” You frown.
“My, you’re easy to tease.” Beth is taking notes. Sally and Zyra know where this is going.
“W-Wait, you heard me?” Vortexia wants to know why you didn’t say pretty things back! You were busy with the race!
“<span class="mu-i">Get to the point...</span>” The rare relaxed Vera demands a resolution.
“Hold it. Can you expand on what you’re talking about?” Zyra asks politely.
“Aye! We want to know everything.” Sally loves stories!
“It was a ridiculous string of events, but cutting things short, our champion here won an important document by beating a baddie through Go-Kart racing.” Crossbill explains.
“It’s not different from saving us all in a Guess Whom game.” Zyra points out as she chuckles at the absurdity.
“What a lovely day…” Beth is taken back to… two days ago.
“He did what…?” Vortexia is more confused than ever.
“<span class="mu-i">The point…!</span>” Vera centers back the convo.
“Right, you knew some of the competitors, didn’t you?” You ask directly!
“Yes, a woman called <span class="mu-i">Nina</span>, and a little girl <span class="mu-i">Jesse</span>.” Kushi leaves no outs for Clutz! Even if she wasn’t planning on not answering.
“Jesse is a guy.” Vortexia corrects. Vera and Crossbill exchange looks.
“And he’s balding…” You sigh.
“What? No. Wait, is he?” Vortexia doesn’t know what’s under the hat. You shrug. Clutz looks unconvinced.
