Sebastien laughed and rolled his eyes. Everyone was taking such offense to everything lately. He trotted after the boy, calling as he went, "Sorry for ruining your dramatic exit by following you, but I was just kidding. Well," he amended, "I was half kidding, but I meant no insult."
Why was everyone so touchy here?
He fell into step beside Tristan, stuffing his hands into his pockets, and grinning sideways in an obnoxiously innocent fashion. "If I'm wrong, you can correct me," he said. "That was just the stuff I'd gathered so far. I apologize if I was mistaken."

Tristan heard as the boy called after him but didn't stop walking away. He didn't even stop as the boy trotted up to his side and appologized... Well an awkward apology to say the least. "Sure sounded like it was meant as an intsult." He mused.
Out of the corner of his baby blue eyes he saw Sebastian find a comfortable pace beside him.
"Well you are wrong." He said still walking around the school grounds thinking over the words. Of course he wa lying but he hoped Seb wouldn't know that.

"Okay, okay," he said, lifting his hands to signal surrender. He resisted the urge to say methinks thou doth protest too much, and instead reaching out to grab the boys forearm. "Slow down. I've had enough aerobics for the night, y'know?"
He started to take back what he'd said, but... Tristan seemed too relieved when Seb had said he wasn't gay. Either he was a homophobe, or just really unaware of his facial expressions. Probably both. Oh well, he couldn't expect everyone to be enlightened.
"So I'm wrong about some of it. But which part am I right about?" he asked. "I know I have to be right about something. You reaction had denial written all over it."

He felt the hand on his arm and glanced down at it for a few seconds. He pulled his arm away a bit finally stoping and turning to look at Senastien. He didn't want the boy to think him rude or anthing.
"Well I don't hate gay people." He said. It was true enough. Tristan didn't hate gays he was scared of them. It always seemed a little awkward to be around them. And especially with the way his father had pounded into his head that gays were evil.
"And I have enough fun." He added a little more sure of this set of words. After all he did a lot of things he thought were fun.

Sebastien shrugged. "Fair enough. Hate is a strong word. Do you not like gay people? Or are you uncomfortable with them?"
He wasn't trying to buzz him for information or anything, but he figured since he stopped his exit, he wasn't dying to get away from Sebastien. So he'd just keep talking.
"Cos I gotta say, you didn't necessarily come to the right place if that's the case."

"My mother made me come here." Tristan said letting out a sigh he already figured as much. "Just... A little uncomfortable..." He lied hoping that he wouldn't be called out on it. He wad overly uncomfortable, not easy to admit though.
"And I kinda figured that out." He mumbled staring at the dust he was stirring up with his foot.

'A little uncomfortable' would definitely be the word to describe the way this boy looked standing in front of Sebastien. He almost felt bad for him, knowing that he had kind of forced some awkward questions on the boy. So he switched gears.
He gave him a crooked smile, "Sorry, look, no harm meant. I kind of let my tongue get ahead of my brain sometimes." This was a lie. Seb almost always carefully crafted his words, but he was able to appear genuine in his sentiment. "We can talk about something else, if you want. Or I can leave you to your morning stroll?"

Tristan shrugged a bit feeling his body relax a bit. "Something else would be nice." He admitted finally turning the blue eyes to glance at Sebastien. "It's okay." He said finally glad to be getting away from the horrible awkward questions.
A smile touched his lips before he looked away. He seriously hoped it wouldn't take more than a few weeks here before he got accustomed to people and the way things naturally were. But he was unsure of that. Instead he decided to focus on the now. Taking the seconds as they came. After all weeks from now things could be different.
"So... What now?" He questioned confusion tinting his voice.
