Chapter Twenty-Three

Corvin swung back and forth gently, like he was lying in a hammock. Although, considering he was being carried by two players that intended to throw him and Kegan off the ship to their deaths, he was far from feeling relaxed.

“Hey Corvin?” Kegan sounded entirely too casual while dangling from the two players leading the way.

“Yeah?”

“What did you say to Piper earlier when she asked you out?”

Corvin rolled his eyes. “Is now really the best time to talk about this?”

“Nothing better to do.” Kegan attempted a shrug but couldn’t quite make the gesture work while being carried. “So spill it. What did you say to piss her off so bad?”

“I already told you.” Corvin’s forehead started to sweat, realizing that five enemy players were listening in on his girl troubles.

“Yeah, you said you turned her down. But what exactly did you say?”

“Why didn’t you say yes?” The Blade class walking beside them jabbed Corvin in the side with the tip of his sword’s sheath. “Her avatar’s pretty cute. She ugly out there in the real or something?”

“Oww.” Corvin wiggled to move away from the man’s weapon. “No, god, I’m not that shallow. She’s underage.”

One of the players carrying him laughed. “How underage we talking here?”

“Wow, so that guy’s a creep.” Kegan cringed.

“Shut up.” The creep swatted at him with his sword. Kegan bent his body to the side to avoid him in that way that cats did when they didn’t want to be petted.

“But seriously, Corv. What did you actually say to her?”

“Okay, fine.” Corvin tried to avoid the eyes of the enemy players that were now staring at him expectantly. “All I said was that I was flattered and she was a great girl. I’m sure one day, when she grows up, she’ll make someone very happy, but right now she’s still just a kid, and I can’t see her that way.”

“Oh, now it makes sense.” Kegan sucked air in through his teeth. “That’s… pretty much the last thing you should have said.”

Even some of the players carrying them agreed.

“What should I have said, then?” Corvin’s scalp started to itch as he felt even more self-conscious.

“Ha, well not that.” Kegan made everything worse by not taking things seriously.

“She is still a kid. What should I have done, lied to her?”

“No, and you’re not wrong, she is too young for an adult relationship.” Kegan paused. “But here’s the problem. You’re only twenty. I’m in my forties, so that’s like nothin’. I love ya, man, but you’re not much more adult than she is, in the grand scheme of things.”

“I’m not a kid.” Corvin spat back.

“Hurts, huh?” Kegan closed his eyes and let himself swing back and forth. “Nothing worse than having your friends not take you seriously. Now imagine it coming from the first person you’ve had feelings for.”

Corvin’s mouth fell open. He was right. A bead of sweat rolled down his face from embarrassment.

“Damn it. I screwed up.”

“Oh my god.” The Blade class that had poked Corvin with his sword moved to the front of the group.
