Zaeryn looked up at Ingrid, who was on her feet looking down at him. "I don't want to deal with Leia. Can we switch partners?" He looked at Genevieve too, waiting for one of them to agree.
"And risk getting in trouble with Audrey?" Ingrid responded. "No way. You're stuck with Leia."
Genevieve wrapped her arms around his shoulders from behind and rested her chin against him. "I think you're overreacting. You and Leia will make…. good partners?"
"Why do you sound like you don't even believe yourself?"
"Well. She might kill you." Genevieve paused. She squeezed his shoulders sympathetically. "Just don't upset her. Be at your humblest around her for the next ten cycles okay?"
Eventually they exited the room.
The hall emptied fast.
