shaft | school: catra

[ ... Just grins. ]

Concerned about me?

What? No! It's just weird. Why is everyone so obsessed with you?

[like. maybe a little]

I think I've just made myself something of an easy target...

It's just school shenanigans.

[:/ well if he doesn't seem bothered. . .]

Was it you who painted the giant deer on Winter dorm?

No, I don't have any artistic skills. Are you seeking revenge?

Not at all.

Just wondering who from your dorm would throw down the gauntlet like that.

To be honest, I don't feel like we have many troublemakers. Maybe Maya or Rita... Molly.

Or it could've been another dorm framing us.

[hmm!]

Someone from Fall, maybe? You did steal their couch.

[ He groans. ]

If I have to hear about this couch one more time...

Actions have consequences, Claude.

[SHE SOUNDS SO ENTERTAINED]

I think these consequences are a little overblown? A little?

Yeah, just a little.

But hey, maybe it means they like you.

That would suit my eternal quest to be popular.

[ He laughs. ]

Little do they know that I preferred to be wooed with gifts and sweet words.

[an amused giggle-snort]

Doomed from the start! Sucks to be them, I guess.

[ Her amusement only makes him smile wider, squeezing her shoulder. ]

It does. I'm a catch. Don't you think?

[whoa, don't push your luck, Claude]

No.

[ ... She says it so easily he just laughs. ]

Isn't that a little cruel?

Maybe, but I don't have any problems with telling the truth. Even if it's cruel.

[ SIGHS ]

I guess I was asking too much. How could I have ever thought myself to be worthy of the great Catra?

[giggle-snort]

Something like that. I like the way that sounds, too-- the Great Catra.
