In For The Win (purobbie)

He shifted almost nervously and despite his sunglasses and the somewhat dimmer lighting of the room, Purah could tell his gaze was jumping around a bit. "Uh, two months ago I didn't either. But here I am."

"I'm surprised. I thought you only worked solo now. Since, you know, no one can stand your weirdness, you said."

Purah did NOT like the energy this woman was giving off. "He's been working with me," she interjected, walking around the side of the table and leaning her arm off his shoulder, something she's done a few times since they met. "I'm his lab partner."

The woman raised her eyebrow again and Robbie swallowed thickly. "Yeah, uhm...Jerrin, this is my new lab partner Purah. Purah, this is, uh, my ex Jerrin."

Purah nodded slowly. "Nice to meet you."

"Mm-hm," Jerrin actively dismissed Purah, turning to Robbie again. "Anyways, good luck with your demonstration. This egg thing looks rather interesting."

At this Terrako chirped indignantly, which Jerrin also ignored. Robbie frowned. "Wait. Why are you even back here? You go to College of Kakariko, you aren't competing here."

She smiled, although it wasn't a nice smile. "That's because my partner and I already won. Our competition was two days ago. Since the nation finals are at the Royal University of Castle Town, which is four hours north of here, I thought I might as well stop here and watch what the esteemed Hyrule University was doing."

Purah glanced up at Robbie, who lips were now pressed together in a thin line. "I see. Well, enjoy the show, Jerrin. You probably should go join the spectators."

She smiled again, gave Purah a judgmental look, and walked away. 

Robbie slouched down two inches and Purah took a step back from him, watching Jerrin's retreating back. "She's a bit of a bitch, isn't she?"

He managed a weak chuckle at that. "Uhm, yeah. Yeah, she's always been...interesting. To say the least. I had a thing for her in high school and we dated until senior year. She, uh, got kind of bitter when I was accepted in HU and she wasn't it. She got even worse when I broke up with her."

"So she likes to randomly show up and torment you?"

"Sometimes."

Purah shook her head, turning to him. "What a bitch."

"Yeah. Hey, thanks for trying to help me out though."

"Hey, don't sweat it. Next time we run into her, I should get my sister on her. Impa knows karate."

Robbie chuckled, remembering the one time had met Impa. "I think you'd be hard pressed to get her to do that."

"I know. She's got too many morals for that."

He snorted and Purah grinned, glad to have improved his mood a bit. "Anyway, we're going to blow the roof off this place with how awesome we are."

"You bet we are. Right, Terrako?"

The machine chirped excitedly and the Sheikah duo exchanged grins. Purah raised her hand and they both, striking their signature poses. "Check it!"

Jerrin could see them from where she sat in the auditorium chairs. Purah was just his lab partner, that was a bunch of bull and Jerrin knew it. She wasn't stupid.

They stood nervously by their table as the judges conversed and shared their grading papers with each other.

A page was passed to Mineru. She made her way onto the stage. All the students stood with their breath held. Purah subconsciously grabbed Robbie's hand. He gave it a reassuring squeeze.
