"So..." Cole said awkwardly. "You're interested in the impending doom of the world?"
Zane raised an unimpressed eyebrow at the boy as he dunked the dish into the water. Cole mentally smacked himself in the head.
He's just immune to humour and sarcasm- not stupid!
The last time they had done this they just cleaned up in silence. Now Cole was trying to be social in attempt to satisfy Jay's pushy needs to have a positive relationship with absolutely everyone. And since it was a choice between Zane or Kai, Cole decided that he'd have a go at the serious blonde.
Look how that was working out.
"The weather's pretty nice this morning..." Cole winced at his own line, placing the dishes to dry.
"It's the evening." Zane deadpanned.
They stared at each other for a moment.
Cole was the first to break eye contact. "I'll shut up now." Cole mumbled, plotting ways to kill Jay in his sleep for forcing him to go through this terrible interaction.
They were quiet for a moment. The only noise was the sound of splashing from Zane swiping the cutlery with a sponge.
"I noticed that you and Jay Walker are very close." Zane said softly. "Have you known each other long?"
Cole whipped his head to stare at him. "Uh... no not really. We met on the first day."
"I see."
Cole's brow furrowed, unsure what his peer was getting at.
"Uh...how is your roommate?"
"Kai?"
"Yes, Kai."
Zane shrugged. "He is a satisfactory companion."
"Really?" Cole tried not to sound surprised.
"He does get night terrors. I am unsure if that would lower his rating of a 'good roommate' though."
Cole fell quiet. "Night terrors?" He breathed.
Zane blinked. "I'm sorry, is that word not in your vocabulary? Perhaps nightmares will suffice."
"No! I know what night terrors are." Cole pressed his lips together as clomped the last dish into the rack.
"I see." Zane almost looked surprised, making Cole feel slightly offended.
