Ivan KNEW she liked fire... so he wasn't fooled, surely. "I was practicing... and burning stuff. Kind of a bonus if you will. How... how.. have you been?" she said all jumbled together and ended it with a clearing of the throat.
She really cared for Ivan. She just needed to focus. Not to mention... she was leaving. Why not get it over with now... when it would hurt less. Not that that logic had really worked. Because as she sat there looking at him she wanted to lay her head in his lap and cry.
Seeing her eyes start to water he had to catch himself from going to her. She wasn't about to cry because of him. Couldn't be. "Nope no Prefect." Pfft like he'd ever be a Prefect.
He took a deep breath and let it out in a sigh as he leaned his head against the wall. How was he... What'd she want the truth? No probably not but she'd know if he was lying. "I've been fine," he lied. He was sure the circles under his eyes from the lack of sleep gave it away. He had been close to asking someone to just knock him out so he could sleep. "You?" He kept his eyes on the wall across from him though he could feel her next to him and all he wanted to do was to hold her. Ugh he really was an idiot.
