>>17816326>'Dammit Anina, what the hell are you doing?!'As if to apologize for being such a motor-mouth, Anina starts foot-fondling your shin under the table, though it does little to relieve the situation.
Fortunately, you come up with an answer to cover up your tracks.
"U-Uh, ACTUALLY, I'm studying abroad in Unova, y-yeah! I-It's really fun over there, l-lots of clapping though--TONS of clapping, i-it's like Afclappistan am I right?"
The dining room is silent at first, until Anina starts forced laughter to rile up the room, and soon that causes her mom to lightly giggle.
"Wow, a nerd /and/ a charmer! Anina's really struck out this time, hasn't she dear?"
Again, her father just sort-of does nothing but grunt, you're beginning to get the stinging feeling that he doesn't really like or care about you.
"Hm."
"Wait."Suddenly, everyone turns to Inver, it seems like he has something on his mind now.
"How is it possible for you to be a university student if you just told /me/ earlier that you were a battler? Well? Which is it?"
A) "Battler!"
B) "Student!"
C) "W-What? Can't a guy have a hobby?"
D) "Both!"
