“Are you still looking at the— Oh, it flew away.” Wolfe walked into the room moments later, carrying bags of greasy food and sporting a goofy grin. “I’m telling you, man, if staring out the window instead of playing on your phone is your attempt at pulling off the quiet, aloof, contemplative look for the ladies, you need to commit to it. You really need to double down and keep quiet all the time. When you finally do say something, you just need to remember and say something weird and vague, sort of like an old man trying to sound smart when commenting about the state of modern society.” Wolfe chuckled at his own joke as he dropped the bags of food on the small tray and began digging through them.

“Is that all?” Lee asked, holding out his hand and ready to grab some food.

“Well, that and the fact that you should wait until there are actually ladies around. It won’t do you a bit of good if there aren’t any nearby to actually see you pull it off.” Wolfe twisted his head to look out the window. “Then again, if you’re having trouble with an easy chick like the one on the sill, then I don’t know how you’re going to manage it with the smarter ones.”

“It took some effort to actually get rid of it.” Lee tried to play off his shock from Augustus’s revelations as he snatched the bag of food Wolfe had tossed him. So, if I’m essentially just a pocket mob—one of those animals that’s not a dog because dog fighting is immoral—that the gods are using to battle each other in a video game, and Augustus is my trainer . . . shouldn’t he be giving me more moves? Training me up to be stronger? Teaching me how to fight the battle for him? The more Lee thought about Augustus’s explanation, the more questions he had, but the deity was already gone. It was one of the most annoying parts of being a brooder with a quick tongue: he would always come up with the best ‘ah ha!’ and ‘gotchya!’ comebacks after the target of his wit had already left the room. Similarly, he couldn’t stop the flood of questions from cropping up now that no one was around to answer them. Well, I guess he did give me that book . . . and he did sort of teach me how to fight using that stupid zombie. I suppose that’s better than nothing.

“Yo!” Wolfe snapped his fingers in front of Lee’s face, pulling him out of his thoughts. “It’s just a bird, man. You don’t have to act all gloomy and broody like you just went through a harsh breakup . . . You’ll have plenty more of those in the future when your BlueTube fame dies out, and the girls realize how much better looking I am.” Wolfe added the last line after a pause as he plopped back in his chair and pulled some food of his own from a bag.
