As just something to do in efforts to distract her from the hufflepuff's unusual behavior.
But then, he finally spoke. And he totally AGREED with her, even relating it to Arithmancy. Smiling at his very vague compliment in amusement, she nodded. "Of course it didn't." Because she was the teacher, duh.
Oh? A part of his present? What did that mean? He felt it was time to learn some numbers so he did? "I'm glad you decided to take up the subject. Especially considering your potential interest in wandlore." Not to mention that he wasn't too terrible at that number stuff either.
Speaking of focusing on the present; "Uh. Treyen? Can I ask you something now?" She asked reluctantly, biting her lower lip. But before waiting for a response, she swallowed and then just asked, "Do you think maybe you'd be able to help me get over my fear of flying?" She could have asked Max, sure, but it would feel weird. Not to mention, technically she already had him try to teach her once. Perhaps learning from someone else might be best.
She smiled. Kind of. And so did he. Because he was still amused at the fact that they were getting along perfectly well at the moment. It was probably a good idea not to speak ill of her subject in front of her, right? Or...never.
Because she was right. Numbers, never mind how annoying they were, could help out on many things. Yes, yes, including wandlore, we know.
The boy merely nodded, and said a simple,
"Thanks," before straightening his robes, and the badge pinned to them. He was getting ready to leave, but it appeared he won't succeed in doing so, because Hadley had called his name.
He looked up at her, and...eyed her curiously,
"Yes?" that was supposed to be an answer, as in 'Yes, you may ask a question', but it ended up sounding like a question. Treyen blinked, at first, and then stared at Hadley for a couple seconds. Was she seriously asking what he thought she was asking him? Flying? Really? He didn't know Hadley was afraid of flying.
The smile that had been on his face, widened,
"Of course! I mean, I could try," there were no guaranties, though, but he could be there in the Pitch flying alongside Hadley, and she'll see that there's nothing to be frightened of. Unless Bludgers were around, and even then, one shouldn't fear them.
"Just let me know, and we'll head down to the Pitch, if Professor Vindictus approves, of course," he nodded, Vindictus could be fairly weird with his Pitch sometimes.
