"Uh-huh." Max blinked, trying to fight back the smile that Zac's behavior caused as the British lady spoke to them. She seemed serious, too serious, and if Max was thinking that then that meant something. He continued in a light and teasing tone. "Sorry Zac, but I gotta say River's right in this situation. You didn't scare her away."

"Ah well, I'll have to be the hero next time" he gave a chuckle and rubbed the back of his head at River and Maxs comments, not really put down too much. He was glad he made them smile, "Sure sweet, if you wanna go talk in a private place and tell me what you want me to stop, I'd be happy to do so" he directed the comment to Dex, still smiling. The guy was cute, but obviously nervous. He was ready to receive an earful lecture, not as if it mattered.

River patted Dex's head, who was extremely nervous. " Alright Zac, stop it or you'll make him turn into a tomato. "

He clenched his fists at his sides some narrowing his eyes. "Please don't hide behind me again! I won't make a very good shield." He stammered some backing up from them again. He didn't like Zac. It was obvious that the boy was trying to get to him. What made it worse was that he couldn't stop blushing. Zac was handsome yes but still it wasn't like that! He didn't want to admit to anyone else that he was gay, not yet. He wasn't ready to come out about it.

He chuckled again, "Point taken. I'll leave the little tomato alone." he gave a glance at Max, "Damn, I'm hungry. Think there's signal out here so I can order a pizza?" he quickly changed the subject to be something more ordinary.

" If there was signal I would be on Instagram. "

"Nope. Nothing." Max said, rolling his eyes. He glanced around the stables before finally speaking again. "Besides, we have food here. Let's go find something to eat in the cafeteria before British Lady finds out I'm also a counselor." He glanced between Dex and Zac, deciding he would ask one of them what was going on later, when they were all less hungry.

Now that they mentioned it he was a bit on the hungry side. Dexion lowered his gaze deciding that he would just follow them where they went. "You guys need someone to show you around?" Crow said approaching the small group. "I've got a break I need to take and I know I haven't seen at least three of you around here before. Wouldn't want you to get lost would we?" He said lightly smiling at all of them. The silver haired boy refused to look up, still blushing heavily.
