"Good." He replied, still biting a little bit of attitude off in his words. He could settle down a little, now that Oriel had agreed to it. Though, when Oriel asked to bring someone along - Phoenix? - Benny lifted an eyebrow. He'd never really been in a study group before, but what would the harm be? "Sure. The more the merrier and all that." Besides, if bringing someone else along would force Oriel to show, then he'd pretty much set that up all together.
"Oh, come on. I wouldn't let you flounder. Where would the fun be in that? I'll totally show you how to be a complete boss. Who knows, you might even enjoy yourself." In a way that didn't involve cannibalistic innuendo, at that! Then again, FPS' could get really phallic sometimes...
Shaking his head to rid himself of some of those thoughts.
Oddly enough, Oriel was silent throughout his little tirade... but it only took him about ten seconds to take a deep breath and shoot back at Benny, who didn't exactly flinch, but definitely looked as though he was a little sorry for calling him out on something he clearly didn't know anything about.
Until Oriel finished talking, at which point Benny did know a little bit more about him. Oriel was not the kind of guy to be a social butterfly, even if he did a stereotypical social activity. Who knew, maybe you could be both shy and outgoing at the same time - if you had enough confidence in your dancing skills, maybe it would be really easy to do that sort of thing, but not talk to people? Benny wasn't sure - some skills just translated. He thought he had it worked out, but clearly not.
"Yeah, it would suck to have a whole lot of people compliment you on your skill and talent." He was a little guy. Sarcasm came naturally when he was feeling comfortable, and despite the pacing, he did feel a little better around Oriel.
"If I told you, I'd lose my leash." He grinned a little bit - but that would be enough to let Oriel know that Benny knew a secret - something that Kodi didn't want anyone to know. "Yes. Very good. I can sleep in my own room at night." Instead of... not doing that, as he had been. At the complement, Benny had to fight not to preen a little bit - thrilled that he might be looked at not as prey.
"Secretly I am a boss." He replied, easily. He blanched, though, remembering that he'd been on his way somewhere when he'd been accosted. "Damn. I forgot. I've gotta go, Oriel. If I don't call home soon, they're going to send a SWAT team in here. Guns blazing - never pretty. " He grinned, standing up. "Let me know when you and Phoenix get into a study-jam. Until then, I'll see you later!"
When he left, unlike the last time they'd parted ways, Benny just casually exited - not bolting for the nearest hidey-hole.
