Bounce cocked an eyebrow.
Is he mocking me?
Aaron was never that verbose, and Bounce wasn't sure if he was deliberately making fun of her, or just trying to pander to her by speaking on 'her level'. Bounce was fully aware that her English was very precise, but it wasn't something she did to try and make herself sound more intelligent. Fact was, even though she'd learned it fairly young, English wasn't her first language, and definitely not that of her parents. Both of them had taken painstaking steps to ensure Bounce spoke exactly correctly, and well, that'd kept with her for a long time.
Bounce decided to let it slide. So far as she was aware, Aaron wouldn't be that obvious about an insult, so he probably was just trying to match her kind of speech. Irritating, but not worth snapping at him about.
"Fine. I will bring it up with Alice the next time I see her. It shouldn't be too hard to get hold of Steven either. Next week, we can talk about it."
The Russian girl found it difficult to see what Aaron had said as anything other than a delaying tactic. However, well, if he thought she was just going to forget... not a chance. Not after what he'd done to the group.
"See you at school, I suppose," Bounce concluded, pushing away from the table and gathering up her paperwork. As she headed on out, she began to wonder whether she should do some more work on the SOTF wiki. She'd spotted some factual inconsistencies there and it had been really irritating her...
((Bounce --> De-Evolving))
