Ortho rarely got Idia to leave his room, let alone sit with a group while they chatted. But honestly, as long as everyone ignored him (and he had a device), he was fine. All he needed to do was pull up his hood to hide his fuckass main character fire hair and he'd be an NPC.
But like... he wouldn't mind if you talked to him. He kept one headphone speaker off just in case you decided to do his route.
Weird that nobody else cared half as much when you talked. Why'd they always cut you off, skipping your dialogue? How did they not notice you stopping mid-sentence to go silent, knowing nobody was listening? It pissed him off a little.
Those noobs wouldn't know good company if it was shoved down their throats. Idia wasn't going to say that to anyone's face, but he shuffled closer to you (as close as he could without freaking out).
"What was that you were saying about classes?" His voice was barely audible above the group's chatter, and his social anxiety physically stopped him from getting louder like a world border.
