Ace? Not appreciative of somebody's clearly-deficient sense of humour.

"Ace, I don't get your numbering system at all but my papers say junior, I got expelled from my last school, and the last artistic thing I did was blow up the art room at my last school."

She'd leave them to draw their own conclusions about the connections between items three and four.

Riiiight. "Well that's encouraging." It wasn't, but Angela said it with a smile anyway. "... On purpose or by mistake?" Since Ace was open about that little tidbit, she was going to go right ahead and ask.

Ace slumped down a bit and gave a gloomy, if resigned, sigh. "See, nobody ever gets how explosions are art."

"Less destructive, less likely to get you arrested art," Angela amended. If an unmade bed counted as art because a few people thought it was, why couldn't explosions be if Ace thought so.
