That's still a good college. [Dan Heng's a little confused at first until he remembers what Blade's referring to.] Similar, yes. I only competed at the Regional level, though my coach did try to convince me to go to at least Nationals. It was tempting to make a real career out of it, honestly.

[Dan Heng turns his attention from the pond when he notices how interested Blade seems to be. It's a little embarrassing to have so much attention, but he can't say he minds it at all, either.]

I've scanned in all the sketches I've made on Realms I've been to as a backup. I can email them to you, if you're interested.
