It was easier to win people over by being nice anyhow, and she imagined he wouldn't have been there if he hadn't wanted to see her for one reason or another. The fact he'd tried to peek around her as Bowie had woofed told her there was a bit of interest, as well, even as it seemed he'd gotten nervous. "Alright then," she prompted, as he started to slowly speak, establishing there in fact was a reason for his visit.
She smiled as he veered away from whatever topic he'd been getting at, though. "It's not so much that I don't have the time. I was going to take Bowie for a walk," she explained, opening the door a bit more and letting the crup puppy peek out more. She always had time for the students. "If whatever you needed can be discussed while he joins us, you're welcome to come along and nobody will have to wait. But if you'd rather keep things private, I'd suggest we stay here." The likelihood of there being others in the grounds was high, and that they might listen in. But if he was willing to let her continue her original plan, she wouldn't turn it down.
Alright? As in...he could talk to her, right? The boy was having trouble remembering what he was supposed to tell her...
...but fear not! He remembered. At last.
Ooooooh, a crup! A little crup! Treyen couldn't help to smile, and then his eyebrows knitted together as soon as he heard Bishop speak again.
"As much as I wouldn't want to get in Bowie's way," he said, and yes, he used the crup's name,
"I think I'd rather not go to the Grounds," yes, please? What if Ellie saw him in there with Bishop? There was no way it could turn out good, right?
