"I think you've got yourself a new friend," Joshua commented as he reached over to snag a pencil. As he glanced over the paper, he said, "So where do you want to sta--" He faltered when he saw that not one problem had been finished, or even attempted. "You're not serious." Looking over to make sure he had seen correctly, he sighed and massaged his temple. "At this rate we won't be able to meet Cecilia before the next morning, let alone before nightfall so we can be briefed."

Still, Joshua bent over the first problem and began explaining anyway, because that was what brothers were for. Kind of.

Jaggedpine · ThunderClan Deputy

Javin saw that nothing happened, so he knocked again, louder this time. He had to be friendly, and kind. He didn't turn himself invisible. He wanted the kids to see him, and understand by the loom on his face that he was happy to see them, which he would be, when he did.

Souki · Rogue

Joshua had been in the middle of attempting to explain a problem to Aetius when he heard someone knock on the door. Not about to let someone into a room that wasn't his (especially not since its inhabitant was still inside), he ignored it. He still poked his brother and gestured at the door, though, just in case he hadn't heard it; he wouldn't put it past his brother.

"You should probably go see who that is. Didn't know you had regular company, though."

Jaggedpine · ThunderClan Deputy

Javin had been listening really hard to what was going on inside, and laughed at the word "regular". He knocked again, for emphasis of course. He was really excited to see the kids again, no matter what they thought. He dug his tow into the floor, excited and almost scared. They'd be disappointed to see it was just him, but whatever.

Duskstar · ThunderClan Leader

Aetius grunted - he had almost understood that problem, until his concentration had been shattered. "Come in," he almost growled, turning back to the paper and staring at the variables and numbers in frustration. "Stupid math. Who needs it anyway?" He turned to see who had walked in, and his scowl deepened. turning back to his brother, he murmured, "So, what do you do with x here after you factor it?"

Souki · Rogue

"Shut up," Joshua snapped loudly at the second knock, giving the door a death glare. "We heard you!" Turning back to give the paper a disgusted glare as if it were its fault that Aetius had lost his concentration and some idiot had come at a brilliant time, he scratched out the next line with more force than he had probably needed. Ignoring their visitor--he was an idiot after all and idiots did not deserve his attention--he continued, "Since the whole thing equals zero, one of them must be zero, so x either equals this"--he scrawled another number onto the page--"or that...."

Jaggedpine · ThunderClan Deputy

Javin flinched. He had expected hostility, but not this much. He started to walk away. He'd be back. He promised himself that. He started to walk down the hall. He ran a hand through his red hair. He felt like the world hated him. He just wanted to see them again! He began to run, but he didn't know where he was going. He might come back in an hour and try again, but for now, it was time to chill.

Souki · Rogue

Joshua grit his teeth when no one spoke, and he turned to see if there was anyone at the door. Seeing no one, the blonde mumbled a few choice oaths and stuck his head out the open door to see what kind of son-of-a-donkey would pull a trick like this on someone within the Rebellion. (It had been drilled into their heads from day one that they were not to disturb others at work; the Rebellion came first, last, and always, and any petty rivalries could wait until anything of importance was out of the way.) He saw no one but only heard the sound of hurriedly retreating footsteps which he assumed (reasonably) were that of the prankster.

"You sorry excuse for pig dung," he hurled down the hallway after their unknown visitor, along with a few other less kid-friendly curses, "You don't think we have better things to do than to deal with idiots like you?" Slamming the door shut with a few more obscenities for good measure, he locked it and settled down in his seat again, mumbling under his breath about idiots and how the Rebellion wasn't all it had cracked up to be.

"Should probably just ignore anyone else that comes along," Joshua mumbled, spinning his dropped pencil around his fingers. "Gotta finish before Cecilia decides to have our heads; can you imagine how much our life will suck if we aren't there for her precious raid?"

Duskstar · ThunderClan Leader

Aetius frowned, unimpressed that he had lost concentration and it hadn't even been important. Not to mention that he already didn't have a high impression of the Resistance. Honestly, he was half considering joining the government, perhaps - since they were better funded - they could give a little more comfort, or perhaps at least a little less torture. Honestly, why did he need this math crap? It was not like he needed to know how to solve variables to figure out how to catch the nearest rabbit.
Aetius chuckled as he thought of Cecilia's wrath. "At least we can blame it on some prankster, which - since she would most likely believe us - would make her incredibly angry. Maybe it was that Javin guy!" His shoulders shook with laughter - the math forgotten, the hawk startled - as he thought of Cecilia hunting down Javin and giving him a good lecture - at the least.
