"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!
At Cornelius' announcement, Eino drew back, as though a balloon had popped right in front of his face. He was going to come in? Where, exactly? Apparently this was all very clear to Cornelius, and apparently very exciting too, but Eino wasn't quite sure what to make of it. He slowly leaned forward as Cornelius proceeded to speak and clarify himself. Help? Eino could use some help he just didn't know how Cornelius could help him.
"Yes." Eino replied dryly, when Cornelius asked him if he would want to be with her. He did, but he never envisioned himself with her, he just enjoyed her company.
Then, he got an idea.
"Why don't you ask her out?" Eino said poking Cornelius' chest to emphasize the
you part. If Sierra accepted then Eino would know she wasn't nearly as interested in him as he was interested in her, because he wouldn't want to go out with anyone else other than Sierra. He absolutely loved her company; all other girls paled in comparison to her. They were like little lizards, but Sierra was the whole fire-breathing, tail-swinging, claw-clawing, men-killing dragon.
The plan should make him nervous, but surprisingly, it didn't. He had just recently met Cornelius, but he trusted him.
"That would be truly wonderful and extremely helpful." He said and paused to think about the possible down-sides, but didn't find any.
"If she does accept, and you two end up dating, it will only encourage my determination to domesticate dragons so that I may sic them on you." He said very innocently and matter-of-factly, which might have led Cornelius to believe he was joking, but he wasn't.
