Walden knew it was probably a little too soon for him to really be thinking about switching to a school closer to where Romey lived, but he was top of his class at home and he'd been invited to check out some more prestigious colleges than the one he was currently enrolled in. There was nothing wrong with going to London and checking out an open house, especially when it met he'd be able to surprise Romy with a visit and see if she was as into him as the texting and everything suggested.

He showed up at the college, glancing around at the boards they had set up talking about student success rates and how many people got into top ten schools, but was distracted by a familiar face. One he didn't really get along with, but they were looking at each other and it just seemed awkward not to say anything. Walden cleared his throat and walked over to Pyxis. "Hello."

Walden didn't know why Pyxis was so determined to make him dislike his girlfriend, or think less of her, or whatever it was she was trying to do. "No," he said. "Being biased matters when you talk about her at all. You keep talking about Romy's flaws like you think I don't realize that she's a human being and not a perfect angel."

He shook his head. "I'm going to leave," he said. "And Romy and I don't talk about you when we talk. We have other things on our mind. The only time you've come up in conversation is the day we met, after you woke me up and then yelled at me."

Pyxis looked back at Walden for a moment, then shrugged and stood up. "It's probably best that we're not friends anyway. I don't need anymore problems than I already have. And being friends with you would be a hassle."

She tossed the money on the table and grabbed her burger before the server could bring it over. "I'll take it to go. I made the mistake of eating lunch with someone who doesn't like me."

	Pyxis looked up at Walden when he came over to where she was. She immediately reached up and rubbed at her eyes, trying to wipe the wetness from them. She shook her head and looked away from him. "No. Of course not." She told him quickly, angrily. "Fuck off. I'm not crying." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"No. I'm just trying to cut away from my depressing life and talk about something else." Pyxis admitted as she looked back at Walden. She sighed softly and looked up at him, chewing at her bottom lip. "You deserve to get to know your Dad. He's fantastic." Pyxis admitted. "I wish he was my dad. My dad is such a pussy."

	"I'm sure your dad isn't that big a pussy," Walden said, giving Pyxis a soft smile. "I really like my father so far. He seems... great, actually. He's great with his other kids. You-Know-Who adores him." He reached up and ruffled Pyxis's hair. "They have a campus pub. Why don't you like me buy you a beer? That'll help you feel better." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Pyxis leaned against Walden for a moment, then snorted. "I do like beer." She told him and stood up, picking up her bag. She stuffed the folder and the rest of her burger into it, then looked at him. "Just so you know, it's going to take more than a beer to make me happy." Pyxis informed him. "You can buy me one. I'll buy the shots." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Pyxis smiled as she walked into the pub and headed straight to the bar. She was tugging Walden along behind her. "I need to beers and six shots." She told the man there, then sat on one of the stools. She smiled at Walden. "I you only want one shot, that's fine. I'll down the others." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"I can't let you drink five shots," Walden said, eying them when they were delivered. He wasn't sure he wanted to do three of them, but maybe it wouldn't be so bad. "I'm going to do my best." He took a sip of his beer and then took one of the shots. "Do you want to do them together?" he asked her, turning it around in his hand. "It doesn't look that bad." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Pyxis snorted at that. "You're a big bloke. You shouldn't get drunk too fast." She picked up her drink and counted down to one, then tilted it back, then two more and looked at Walden, lifting her arms up in the air. "Woooooooooooooo!" She laughed and ran her eyes over him. "Drink up, Macnair. Don't let a girl beat you at something." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)
