    The Academy of Intrigue

    Drew suddenly found his face smacked sideways. The elderly nurse that had earlier talked down to Wanhope looked up at him now. She was tiny, but she was angry. ?Consider this my agreement to all but one point. I agree that all those others need to straighten their acts, but if you say another...

    The Academy of Intrigue

    Wanhope collapsed soundlessly, managing only a little groan as he hit the ground. He had never felt such pain, never in his whole life. Master Geo had once hit Wanhope square on the chest with a uprooted tree accidentally, but even that was nothing compared to the pain in his groin and in his...

    ?Well, whenever you're ready to go Son, let me know. I'll tell you everything you need to know about leading the party!? ?Seth should lead it.? Jorvin's paused for a moment, obviously taken aback, but Wanhope showed no sign of joking. He just stared at his father, his eyes seeming to...

    The Academy of Intrigue

    Wanhope watched Fei go sadly, knowing that her fear was entirely justified. Jorvin grinned as he approached his son, and clapped him on the back. ?I hear you got the girl. I?m proud son, but you might want to watch out for Nat. Oh gods, I remember the first time I cheated on a girl, she was a...

    ?Nope. I was just kidding with you.? He replied solemnly, staring stonily into her eyes. They both just stared at each other for long seconds, neither so much as breathing. Then they both simultaneously started laughing at how ridiculous they looked, both with completely serious faces. He kept...

    The Academy of Intrigue

    Oh, didn't see that coming, did you? Suddenly the floor was quite interesting to Wanhope as well. Moments passed awkwardly as they both stood there, intently staring at nothing. Even if he knew what to say, his voice had suddenly fled, leaving him helpless to communicate outside of awkward...

    The Academy of Intrigue

    Wanhope pointedly ignored Fei's blushing and sighed again, appreciating her healing and the momentary relief it brought. ?Please, get here.? He whispered and took her hand, moving it to his pulsing forehead. His hand lingered on hers a bit longer then necessary. In truth, he felt guilty...

    The Academy of Intrigue

    Wanhope heard the sobs too, and bit his lip, looking from Fei, to Nat, then back to Fei. For the love of god, can't anything just work out just once? He thought bitterly, seeing the sudden uncertainty on Fei's face. ?I...think it might upset her, but how does that matter? Either I spend...

    The Academy of Intrigue

    Wanhope bit his lip, blushing a bit, and very aware of Fei's closeness all of a sudden. He started coughing awkwardly, slowing back out of earshot of Seth and Nat. ?I...would of been sad to make you do that. But about Nat and I being together...i would rather not do such a thing. She...I...

    The Academy of Intrigue

    Wanhope shuffled through the halls alongside Fei awkwardly. He knew from her demeanor and her stiffness that she was angry at him, probably very angry at him, and he honestly had no idea what to do about it. He could understand her being upset with what she kept seeing between him and Nat, but...

    The Academy of Intrigue

    Wanhope's mouth twitched at the insult, not sure to be mad or to laugh. He had made himself look the fool, he supposed. And it had rained him to do even that much. Seth was right, he could barely walk to the infirmary, much less fight. He took a few quavering steps after Seth, then reevaluated...
