She's one of the newcomers, but she knows her stuff. I think we can invite her to our club.

["club..." sounded as ridiculous as the food metaphors (which actually didn't sound as ridiculous as they should have in Hinata's mind-- he honestly thought them a touch clever), but if Guy gave the go-ahead for Alice, even without meeting her, the ginger trusted the blond.]
[which. was and wasn't an awful idea.]
[... ah.]
[the riddles.]
[he'd been so distracted... (he'd repressed the fact they'd come here looking for riddles, too).]
Um... A bit longer... I want the best! [small cough, face hovering close to the screen as he started really reading (and ignoring the ones Guy had sent - not on purpose, of course).] I'll get them to you soon.
[spoken as Hinata sunk halfway down, body bowed out from the desk in a resigned slump. still clicking. why did Jack jump over the candlestick? -- wait, that was a story. damn it.]

Right, take your time. [Said teasingly. He pats him on the back.] You've got to think long and hard about which ones you want to choose.
