He started feeling more embarassed when Lucas and even their guide started making cracks at them thinking they were a couple. Next thing he heard was Xexe letting out a happy sigh while letting him go, "
Ahh, there we go," she said standing up and then offering Zawlt a hand up, "
sorry about that, Gunoy, but I needed to get that out of my system, you understand." After saying that Zawlt took her hand and stood up, brushing himself off. He then looked at everyone else for a moment listening to their questions. "
Welp, figured you guys would find out sooner or later, so I guess I could tell ya now," he said before clearing his throat, "
so long story short, I've actually been in Octo Valley before, but that was seven years ago," he explained, "
some things changed, but I still recognized a few landmarks and buildings including this place." After that explanation he turned to Xexe and then knew he should introduce her to them all, "
This is the first octoling friend I've made, sorry Zerul, but you were second," he said in a half joking matter, "
and she's-" he was suddenly cut off by Xexe putting her hand over his mouth, "
let me tell them, Gunoy," she said. He just nodded and decided to be quiet so she could introduce herself, "
Hello everyone, my name is Xenevivia Solando," she said, "
Gunoy here thought of my nickname Xexe, so you can all just call me that too," she finished smiling at them all. When she was done Zawlt walked forward with a serious look on his face, "
Also, let me just get this out of the way," he said, "f
or anyone here thinking we're actually a thing, get it out of your heads," he said while turning his head to Lucas, '
that's what you're thinking, Lucas."
