IF ONLY THEY KNEW

ASTRID resisted the urge to roll his eyes at the three people standing before him. Could they be any more obvious? He could already guess what kind of routine the three was playing.

No, it's probably more accurate to say that it was only the one at the middle doing the routine. He could see that he was leading the two people along. And because the two didn't like Astrid, they were all too happy to be led on.

Seeing as how they were already gathering attention from people around, these three probably wanted him to get angry or showed an annoyed expression. Anything that could make him appear the villain.
