"You can sit over here you know." He pointed out, meaning next to him. There was plenty of space on his robes.
No big deal? He walked out of a class that he was good at and he says no big deal.
"I'm glad your okay." She said feeling a little better.
"You're probably right... well at least about yesterdays lesson. We learned about Intaglio and Galdr. Then we carved runes in the tables." She of course chose to use intaglio for her runes carvings. She just felt really silly with the Galdr method.
"I was a bit excited that I actually knew what a Galdr was, even if that wasn't the method I chose to use." Who knew that what he taught her in that little tutoring lesson would come in handy so soon.
Moving to sit with him on his robes she still sat facing him. She wanted to be able to see his face without having to turn to see him. She also really wanted to know what had happened in class but wasn't sure how to say it without upsetting him. She had a feeling that if she didn't ask though he would never tell her. Taking a deep breath she just decided to ask. Biting her bottom lip she finally blurted out.
"Jimmy... what's going on with you and Neptune?" Because clearly there was something there. Even a blind person would be able to see that after that little show in class.
She pulled her knees up to her chest and hugged her legs close to her... something she always seemed to do when she was feeling a bit insecure.
