Lloyd jumps at Anna's taunt, lifting his head up with a yelp to turn and look at her. Obviously, it makes sense that they'd see him running into camp, but with his excitement and dumb crush blinding him from any sense, the eyes that stare him down in his complete puddle of uselessness cause embarrassment to run hot through his core, heat rushing to his face again as he gapes at everyone.

"Mom!!!!" he cries, grabbing at his jacket's collar and raising it up to cover the majority of his face, letting it muffle his words. "I-It wasn't a date, and don't say that so loud he could hear you!!!"

His mom is embarrassing him! He never thought he'd say that, but it's happening, right in front of his grandpa and his dad and his best friend and oh my god, Zelos could walk into the campsite any moment now, Anna Irving please have mercy.
