He snorted. Nerdiness… He shook his head slightly.

"Hey it's alright to admit it! I'm a nerd too," she whispered the last sentence, but didn't realize that her whisper was actually louder than her normal talking voice.

"i am not a nerd." He retorted. I have dealt with Napoleons and Alexanders, Jameses and Williams, but for the life of me, I can't get rid of this girl!

"Whatever you say, nerd." She nudged him with her shoulder, giggling. "Hey, do you live around here?"

"Why would I answer that question?" He asked, raising an eyebrow at her.

"I'll walk you home! C'mon," She linked her arm through his. "Lead the way!"

He stared at her. "Uhm…how about no." He replied, pulling his arm from her grasp.

"Why not? You said you're not hiding anything, so prove it!" She linked her arm through his again

"I am not taking a woman that I don't know to my home!" Winter replied.

"Chill, I'm just walking you to your door!" She sighed. "You don't have to be so afraid all the time…"

He shook his head. "Just…no."

"You're so difficult!" She looked at him like he was doing something very strange. "What will it take for me to be your friend?"

"Nothing. I don't do friends." He replied blankly. I want to go home to my cat! Leave me alone!
(Tbh I feel like Winter is me is such a mood XD)

"Oh come on!" She pouted. "What about acquaintances?"
(Honestly same lol)

He shook his head, looking at her. "No."

"Whaaaat? Why not?"

"Because. They're a headache." And i hate watching them grow old and die as I stay young.

She crossed her arms. "How do you know? Have you ever had friends before?"
(_{question, how are we going to wrap this encounter up? Because I'm actually starting to pity your character in this situation lol})

"Yes." He replied, crossing his arms as well.
(Lol I ws planning on having him just give up and let her come, if only just to get her to shut up XD)

(Okay cool lol)
"Who?" She laughed, in total disbelief. "Who in this world is allowed to be your friend?"

"He's dead." Winter replied, deadpan.

(I wanna give Winter a hug QwQ)

Her eyebrows rose in surprise. "O-oh. Sorry," she frowned. "Nobody else?"

(lol he'd probably be like "wtf. Don't touch me. I don't do hugs. Let go." But same lol)

Winter shook his head. Not anymore. I don't want to do that over and over again.

She shoved him again, except not as playfully as before. "You're stupid!" she gave him an annoyed look. "Your friend died, so you just decided to give up on it altogether?!" Astra knew she might be crossing a line. Who cares? He's stupid, and I call 'em how I see 'em!

Friend? Friends. I had friends who died before 0 AD even rolled around, and you call me stupid?? He snorted. "Call me what you will. If you knew the facts, you wouldn't. But like so many people in America today, you prefer instead to create a half assed, ignorant opinion based on only one of many, many relevant facts." He said, looking down at her.
