Franck stared at Bobby, surprised that he would think it was very thoughtful of him to act this way. Of course, he did notice how many others were more selfish than he was. He didn't mean that in a bad way, although it sure sounded like that when you expressed it. It was mostly that Franck acted like this without thinking, it was natural for him, so every time someone praised him for his behaviour, he was surprised and not really sure how to react. “You kind of get careful after you pissed some people because they can’t hide things from you no matter how hard they try,” he replied with a shrug, trying to appear modest about it but still finding like he was bragging about it.
Franck was certain that the man knew why he came here, that it had nothing to do with a watch and all to do with the man. His only hope right now was for Bobby to think he came to watch the man’s skills in martial arts and not to check the man himself. His embarrassment would be complete. Bobby really didn’t need to make things clear, Franck had no intention of doing that again. One humiliation was enough for him.
Speaking of his martial skills then seemed appropriate, and it helped Franck not feel so embarrassed so he really couldn’t see anything wrong in that. He stared at him as he was done talking, wondering if his last words referred more to what was going on now and the reasons why Franck might have showed up here than the whole teaching students and all. He preferred not to think about it. “I will think about it. This year, I’m trying to be more present. I can handle my power fairly well now, I want to try more things.”
