The hard part was getting to this "girl thing," as the boy put it. "Well..." He began, fidgeting and looking up at the sky for a while before continuing. "I have been somewhat forward with my affection, but I have rather inadequate knowledge and experience in the matter to decipher her response to it." It wasn't like they spent a lot of time together, but the bottom line was Eino hadn't the slightest clue of how Sierra felt about him. As he finished speaking, he put his hands away in his hands away in his robe's pockets and fell silent, staring at Cornelius, wide-eyed with an occasional blink.
Cornelius's eyebrows rose once more as Eino explained that he had been 'somewhat forward with his affection'. What did that mean? As he continued on to explain that he didn't feel he had enough knowledge and experience in the matter to 'decipher her response to it', Cornelius grinned wider than ever, as though he had found the answer to everything.
"That's where I come in!" he announced cheerfully, letting out a laugh as though surprised Eino hadn't connected it already. Not to say that Cornelius would know everything and anything, but maybe he could help!
"I mean... I can try to help if you want to run it by me?" he explained what he meant, a weak smile on his expression. He didn't want Eino to feel as though he had to tell him everything, they just met after all and maybe it wasn't any of his business at all.
"I mean, you want to be with her, right?" Cornelius asked more accurately. He didn't want to sit here and bother Eino about it if he was completely happy with the way things were between himself and this Sierra girl. He truly didn't know the situation, and if Eino didn't want to bother, then he wouldn't make him. But if he could help in any way, he wanted to. Especially since later in the conversation he had every intention of bombarding him with Hogwarts questions. It was the least he could do!
