#Alfred already has a puppy crush on Ludwig nobody will convince me otherwise

Their eyes lock across the table.

It’s a challenge to keep up his cool facade. Only years of practicing for their entrance interviews keeps Ludwig from flinching.

He’s studied each one of them in preparation for this, his chance to prove his District’s worth. To prove that they’re ready to sit at their table.

He hadn’t looked so much at the numbers though. Now that the value of each card has been attached to real world data he wants to kick himself for not paying better attention. He’s only at a disadvantage now because he arrogantly assumed he wouldn’t need to know any of that.

His focus had been on their personalities and play styles instead. So far, everything has lined up with his expectations.

That just doesn’t make it any less intimidating.

Despite being the youngest out of all of them, Alfred has the easy confidence of power behind him. Unlike Feli’s posturing, Alfred is relaxed. Happy. Enjoying himself.

Because he is sure he will win. His smile is at once inviting and venomous. Just here to have some fun before he swallows you whole.

But then Alfred winks at him, and Ludwig’s train of thought derails. Perhaps he has good stats, sure, but there’s no way he knows how to use them.

If he does, then my team might lose, and my team can’t lose, or else I might never see him again.

That can’t happen. I’m not done with him yet.
