[They glance in her direction for a moment--or rather, the twins do. Azul hasn't looked up at all from counting the bills to make sure that this is the correct amount for the students order when he speaks.]

She's right, unfortunately. An apology is worthless if it isn't sincere. As such, there's no point in getting one out of him now. And he's settled his bill for his meal, nor does he have any other outstanding debts with me that he owes. As far as I am concerned, I have no further need of his presence either.

[A pause, as he pockets the money... and then--]

But, if you two have something else you'd like to discuss with him, outside of Octavinelle, then who am I to stop you? I'd hate to let him be under the mistaken impression that you two are just my lackeys only acting on my behalf, rather than having your own thoughts on the matter. Feel free to give him your own honest, unfiltered opinions the next time you share a class with him, for all I care.

[Oh, that gets the twins humming in consideration.]

"Hey, Jade, don't you share a class with this guy? He kind of looks familiar..."

"You may be right about that, Floyd. Perhaps if we're lucky, he'll be my next partner on the upcoming group project..."

"Well, aren't you lucky! Guess we'd better send you on your way then so that you can prepare for that, betta fish~!"

[They let go of the student's shoulders now, waving their fingers casually to send him off and let him make a proper break for it now.

Sorry Eva, but fish mafia is still a bunch of vindictive bastards sometimes.]
