He hadn't really expected this.

It was then that it occurred to him... Was he trying to impress Aspen with that whole announcement? His brows furrowed just slightly at the thought, but he didn't have much time to think about it as in the next moment Aspen told him that it was okay, assuring him that she would talk to him if he ever actually wanted to speak to her again after this. His eyebrows rose.

She had to be kidding.

He'd just yelled out about her in the Great Hall and here she was, worried that he would never speak to her again. Sure, he'd never had a girl duck under a table before to get away from him (something that, he had to admit, sort of stung at first), but it certainly wasn't something that made him angry with her. And in the next moment, she had offered him her hand in the same way he had to her in the Common Room, except now she was offering him the chance to crawl under the Ravenclaw table and escape out of the Great Hall undetected alongside her.

Did she even have to ask? Grinning, Cornelius took her hand in his own and ducked beneath the table, joining her beneath it and turning to look at the girl beside him with a warm smile. "C'mon," he prompted, squeezing her hand momentarily before releasing it so they could both begin the crawl towards the exit.

Aspen had had plenty of room under the giant tables to escape unnoticed. But adding Cornelius... well, the space shrunk, but she didn't find herself minding at all. In fact, Aspen didn't find herself doing ANYTHING at all but looking at Cornelius, caught up in how close he was. No escaping, no crawling, no moving. Had she ever realized that boys had eyelashes before????

He was doing the smiling thing again.

"It's surprisingly clean under here. I bet the Gryffindor floor under their table isn't this clean," she finally whispered. Again, making Aspen wonder if she wasn't missorted, her with her cherry-bombing cheesy breath.

She had questions for this boy, most of them beginning with WHY??, but they'd have to wait. The longer they lingered, the higher their chances of getting caught got. Aspen didn't know of a rule that said students couldn't be UNDER the table, but she imagined one might be created just for her. She took the lead, crawling hands and knees down the long length of the House table.

Aspen only paused when she got to the very, very end. The point where they'd have to crawl in plain sight, or get up and walk out of the Great Hall. There, she waited on Cornelius. ".... run like bandits? Or walk out cool?" Was Aspen capable of cool??? "You won't announce that I'm leaving, will you?" Would he??? Aspen SO wasn't sure.
