But the boy only nodded at Bishop and added a small smile to his expression.
Truthfully, he didn't expect her to say that about Ellie's visit, which is why his eyes widened at the very first sentence but managed to return to normal when she was done explaining. "I see, I thought...well, I thought differently." After all, she was the one who treated Renee worse than he did. Though, the Healer's presence may have got something to do with that.
Still, it had come to a surprise to him, especially to find out through Bishop and not through Ellie. His eyes sort of wandered to Bishop, knowing that it was quite probable that there had been much more to that visit than she was letting him know. Next time he sees Ellie he'll be asking her about it. Even if he was aware that any talk revolving Divination was probably not the best idea around the Ravenclaw girl. 'You're welcome'. GRIN.
And then he HAD to chuckle at her comment about Jake, "Yes, exactly, you could say that," and, in reality, he used to get into many 'debates' with the boy. Silly debates, but still debates.
As soon as she replied, his eyes started to wander around the books, but he failed to miss one that could've been written by her, if she'd written any, that is. "Oh, no, I was just wondering if any one of those have been, you know, written by you." And then he turned his head towards her, as if expecting her to confirm or deny that thought. It seemed the thoughts going through Treyen's head would be fascinating, as Renée watched his reactions to her words, but she refrained from doing anything other than simple watching. Now wasn't the time or place to endanger the fragile cease-fire that seemed to have grown, and she had a feeling if he knew she knew what he was thinking, that could harm that. She'd been getting better at that anyhow, and his smile told her more than anything else could have. Namely, that he'd accepted her simple response, and took it how it was meant.
The topic of Ellie seemed to be a little different, however, and she paused as she saw his eyes widen. She didn't think she'd said anything wrong, and she knew she hadn't revealed anything that had happened with the Ravenclaw, but as he spoke, she nodded. "Understandably. I'd imagine you've seen more of her than I have, so reading into things makes sense. You understand that it's not my place to explain much more, though, right?," she replied gently. It was Ellie's place, if she wanted to air her grievances, even if they illogically concerned herself.
As he'd responded to her offered opinion about Jake, she quietly had moved away from her desk and gone over to appease Anastasia's sense of worth, and she turned back from stroking her feathers lightly once he'd spoken. "He has his reasons, I'd imagine," she said simply, before their discussion of her name and books had brought his gaze back to the shelves, and she smiled again at his question. Either he was a good actor, or he hadn't actually known anything before the topic had come up.
"Perhaps . . .," she said a bit vaguely. "I can tell you the extent to which I've gone into Divination is merely instruction and research, however." Let him interpret that how he might. Explaining it all would be too complicated, in her mind, and she wasn't used to actually having to say anything anyhow.
