</div><b><span style="text-decoration: underline">Meanwhile back outside</span></b><br/><br/><span style="color: Red"><b>"I think you're talking about someone else,"</b></span>thought the totally clueless Fredward.<b><span style="color: Teal">"...boys like that tend to be more studious and adept than their peers."</span></b>He may indeed be shy, but Ecko's giving him way too much credit here in his ability to do anything useful or so it looks that way. With that thought aside, an apple hung itself right above Fredward's face with only her two fingers to support it. Oh yeah, that certainly got his attention.<br/><br/>He sat himself up immediately and then turned himself to face her. His lips were already frowning, assuming this blue woman will be the next person who's going to be giving him a hard time today. He didn't have time for that, and he was just too tired to get angry at another person today. To avoid any further conflict, he gave out his name.<b><span style="color: Red">"My name is Fredward. There wasn't much to miss out on today if you're worried about that."</span></b><br/><br/>Ecko has Fredward's attention, as he sat there with the usual scowling expression on his face and waiting for her next question. Even though he'd rather have her go away so he could lay down and maybe sleep a little longer. After all, he's had a rough day.<div class="messageTextEndMarker"> </div>
