Hmph. 'To defeat your enemies, you must have dependable allies,' is it? You sound like my old man.

[Felix shakes his head.]

I fight alone. I don't need to 'understand' my classmates. Especially when they're all far behind me on the battlefield. In the thick of a battle is where I belong.

[He glances back down at the calendar again, at Claude's insistence.]

This isn't politics, Riegan. It's a classroom, nothing more. It's not like I'm joining the Alliance.

[He sighs, irritated.]

But fine. If it will end your squawking, I'll join you for dinner. Once.
