[Orion if you think Apollo is unworthy of being the Alpha Best Friend then Clay might have to beat u up

But Clay just waves a hand, his free hand cutting at his eggs for a bit.]


Yeah? That's old news now.

It happened yesterday.

Old. News.

[Apollo gives a half-glare again, and Clay gives that overly cheerful smile once more, the only difference being that now his mouth is stuff with eggs. And, even though he'd never do so on the fleet, it's here where he'll actually talk with his mouth full.]

Hoo'ay's a yew 'ay! [He swallows, thankfully, and Apollo rolls his eyes, but also gives a half smile.] So tell me about it in a different way. Did anything good happen? All I heard was the terrible, horrible, really bad of it all.

[Apollo lets out a loud sigh and ducks his head while running a hand through his hair.]

You're not going to let me sit here and stew in my own misery, aren't you?

Nope. Not a chance.

[And with that, Apollo lifts his head again and tilts it to the side, trying to think of what good things might have happened.]

Well... I did figure out who the real killer was.

See? That's good!

... And he happened to be my mentor.

... Yeah, that sucks. But keep going, focus on the good stuff!

Mm... So, even though I fired myself, I technically did win the trial... but only because my idol gave me forged evidence to use without me knowing it.

[And Clay frowns at that, irritated not at Apollo, but at the situation.]

I still can't believe he did that. Can I go punch him in the face? Because I totally will.

[Here, Apollo looks a bit sheepish.]

I... kind of already did that.

[Which just makes Clay rock back, almost losing his balance, hand over the grin on his face and eyes wide with surprise. Holy shit! His best friend did what?!]

OOOOH!

Clay, come on... [But he totally just let out a snort at that reaction and smiled a bit. Yeah okay it was pretty cool but also really terrifying he punched his idol in the face]
