They'll growl, but just flick them on the nose and they'll get grumpy but otherwise not bother retaliating. It's much harder with adults." Spoken like one with experience. *if (asklucy =true) I suppose that's natural, as she did mention having owned a few businesses she would have to know a few things about manipulation and intimidation. *if (asklucy =false) I suppose it could be part of her mysterious side dealings that she prefers not to talk about. "Are such things normally the duties of student council president?" "They are when I'm the president. The principal means well, and credit where credit is due, he does know how to work the back rooms, but he doesn't know anything about the day-to-day runnings of a student body. Naturally someone had to pick up the slack. Though I can't help but think he might be in over his head." "What makes you say that?" She seems to realize that she's been talking to someone, "Oh, I'm sorry, I probably shouldn't be talking about business with you, we barely know each other. I hope you don't mind if I leave, I have some things I need to take care of and I meant to be finished hear two minutes ago." She smiles at me, "You know, you don't really talk a whole lot. I hope we can meet again later." She leaves the table immediately after, in a rush to make up for lost time. I suppose it's nice to have made a friend, but I can't help but worry about what 'other business' she might have been talking about. Nothing I can do about it at the moment, though. *if (dismiss =1) *set report_lucydismiss true *goto_scene 1-9lunch-1dismissed *else *goto_scene 1-9lunch-1end
