Chris could sense that Aurora was piecing together what happened so she tried to cover it up.
"W....w...well it was just something he said last night in his beaten, drunken stupor. It was some vague statement, I can't remember it exactly, something like 'I don't mind taking on five big rugby lads' and it just made me wonder was all," she babbled as she scratched her head as she thought of this ridiculous explanation on the spot.
"Well done Chris! Just keep pouring shit all over him why don't ya'. I don't think his grave can get any deeper at this point," she berated herself.

Aurora's eyes widened. “FIVE?!” She covered her mouth in shock and then laughed. “Oh Herbert, your eyes are bigger than your belly.”
Patrick had tuned into this conversation and placed a hand on Herbert's shoulder. “You don't want to bother with the Rugby Lads. They are so insecure about their own sexuality that they distance themselves from guys like us.” Patrick said this in a way that suggested he had already been hurt by a Rugby guy. Maybe heartbroken.
Aurora's laughter died down and she gently smiled at the others around her. “If I had known, I wouldn't have got so shy and embarrassed when people were teasing us about talking in private.” She chuckled lightly. “I would have said; 'Sure, we were having the best 2 minute sex ever.'.”

Herbert didn't know what was quite going on; the didn't seriously think he was gay? Still, whilst he was here he could maybe get something out of Aurora. Also, how could Chris think he was gay! I mean, come on! He wasn't sure if she was just doing this to stroke her ego, but then he thought that might be too harsh.
"Um, okay. So you never found me attractive?" He said, trying to make it sound casual.

A bit of a random question, Aurora thought. A blush came to her face as she rubbed the back of her head and had a sheepish smile. “You're an attractive guy, but even if you were straight, I don't think you'd be my type. You're everything I would want in a little brother.” She said, honestly.

And there it was. The girl Herbert was hung up on was Aurora! Surely it had to be? No guy ever asks a girl is she finds him attractive if he's not genuinely trying to seek an answer and/or confirm if their feelings are returned. Chris' stomach felt like a black empty void. She felt sad for Herbert. There she'd been, throwing herself at him like the usual abrasive tart she was when she knew he wasn't that kind of guy. All he wanted was to find someone nice, who he cared for deeply and settle down. And here he was thinking he'd maybe found the one only to discover that she didn't feel the same. At least that's what she thought, though it seemed obvious that was the case.

Herbert heard what she said but afterwards there was just a dull ringing. He felt like his heart had just dropped into freefall.
"I need to go," he said, trying to keep his voice steady. He managed to get a smile out, to reassure them but once his back was turned, his face dropped. He left the student union and when he was a good distance away he started running.

"I'm gonna go get a drink," Chris said as she headed to the bar. Very surprisingly she only ordered some water. She wandered over to a table and sat down. Taking a sip of water, she breathed in, deeply, as she closed her eyes and began to meditate again. Maybe she'd start sensing people again. That's what she hoped anyway.

Aurora blinked and stared at the door. “That was... abrupt?”
Patrick put a hand on Aurora's shoulder. “If you guys didn't know, then this is his coming out to you. He might be a little overwhelmed by it.”
Aurora frowned. “Should someone go after him?”
Patrick shrugged. “He might just need some time alone.”
“I'm not sure alone is good for him...” Aurora whispered.

"That was odd" Olem remarked "I'll go talk to Chris, see what's up". He moved over to the bar, and ordered a black coffee, before pulling up a seat at Chris' table.
"What's the matter?" he asked, slightly wary that he might've interrupted something.

Signe stood in awkward silence. She didn't approve of Katie's attitude towards her own boyfriend and the conversation was making her feel distinctly "outsiderish" again. She watched Herbert. Bi. Not gay. He definitely was attracted to Aurora and Chris knew it too. Signe stared at her own feet. Shame society didn't tend to like people like her. Too many memes tend to think relationships need to control... possess. The fact this girl thought like that disturbed her.

Chris seemed to ignore Olem entirely though it was actually because she had already drifted away. She was getting quicker at it. She was so focused, so determined on searching, trying as hard as she could to replicate sensing those signals like she'd done earlier. Her body began to hum again as her aura came forth, lighting up the entire SU. She continued to search. She knew the signal. She'd felt it before.
There it was! Racing away at an alarming pace. Further and further into the distance it went until it disappeared as if it'd moved beyond her reach.
"Dammit!" Chris thought to herself. Her eyes fired open as her aura dispersed. She jumped up and bolted out the door. Where had that signal gone? Where would he go? Not to a crowded place, he wouldn't like that. That left only one possible place in her mind where he would've gone: the woods.
(OOC Chris has left the SU and gone to the woods)

Olem took a quick chug of his coffee, amused by Chris as she sprinted past him out the door. He moved back towards Aurora, hearing a deep thudding.
"It would appear that RaveSpace has opened it's doors" Olem said, taking another drink. "Should we start to head over, or head back and get changed?"

Signe stared after Chris. Her hair felt frazzled. What was she doing? That was strange. Had Chris known about that energy coming off her?

"Sounds like a plan." Aurora said, worried about Herbert. Chris must have gone after him. "I'm going to head back now." She muttered and started to try and figure out what was going on as she left, in a world of her own.

"I'm heading off too, see you later" Olem said, walking out of the door, throwing his empty coffee in the bin and towards the accommodation block.
