Austin blanches slightly, feeling more and more red cover his cheeks. Pierce knows how to talk to him to embarrass him. He is a master of this. As the jaguar finishes his monologue, Austin thinks intensely before responding. Kinney's words made him have to analyze things. "I think I'll give up... It wouldn't make sense anyway... He's popular and I'm a couguar who doesn't eat fish and is shy" he shrugged his shoulders, playing with his fork in his salad. He also rests his cheek against his palm. He stares tastelessly at his meal.

"Sometimes I regret some things... Why couldn't I be strong, confident? It would make my life easier" he mutters under his breath and puts the tomato in his mouth "I'm like a herbivore at best... I wish I was at least half like you... I envy you" he replied and looked at him out of the corner of his eye "I just don't understand why you are still so interested in me? Because I'm a 'wild cat' too? Or because I'm clumsy in life and it makes you laugh?" he asked, putting his fork down on the tray "Answer me please..." looked at him with seriousness. His eyes glistened slightly. His fingers moved restlessly on his thigh. "If you are amused by my awkwardness then please let it go.... Laugh on the side. That's what the rest do when they find a scapegoat" he said quietly with no joy in his voice.
