Pierce's grin grew devious as he spotted exactly who was in front of him. "Honestly, I didn't think you were gonna show at all so I was chatting with the other guys for a bit." Gaze running over the smaller feline, McKinney chuckled- mostly to himself. "I guess you have a bit more spunk in you than I'd have imagined." Rolling his shoulders in a shrug, Pierce made an exaggerated motion of rubbing at the muscles of his bicep as if it were sore. "I hope you don't mind but I went ahead and passed your love note on to Bray already," he lied, said note laying folded between the pages of a science book within the bag tossed over his shoulder.

"I mean that's who it was for, right?" A dramatic finger to his chin as he feigned a heavy thought. "Or was it Ethan? No- I definitely remember it being the chairman." A raised eyebrow in the cougar's direction. "Boy, you really do aim for the stars don't you? You know he's pinning for a lion, right? Ah- what's his name... Humphrey, or Hubert... Huxley, maybe? I can't remember. Heavy into the theatre group. Anyway-" Another bump to Austin's shoulder by Pierce's own, head motioning down the hallway in a signal for the other feline to follow. "I hear it's fish for dinner tonight. What a way to end the day, yeah? Damn, I'm excited."
