But he was glad that his announcement in the Great Hall hadn't made her dislike him or anything.
As she admitted to being rather flattered by his words, Cornelius's grin practically doubled in size, seemingly fueled by her own smile which had slowly made an appearance throughout the conversation. And just as he was contemplating this smile of hers, she asked about it. Well, she asked why he decided to tell everyone that she had smiled at him.
He thought for a moment, once more trying to translate all of his thoughts into words. He glanced down, seeming to realize that his hand was still intwined with her own, and quickly looked back up as though deciding not to evaluate that just yet. "Your smile..." he started, trailing off as he tried to think of the right words. He couldn't think of how exactly to say it. "You made me earn it," he decided honestly, giving a bit of a shrug and a weak smile of his own. "I liked that."
Oh...
She had? Aspen thought back to the Common Room and Egbert, cheesy snacks and pumpkin juice. Maybe she had. "Doesn't that sort of... make me a ... I don't know... a bad person?" Aspen's brow furrowed, but not like she was mad. More like she was entirely perplexed with herself. Did she always make people earn a smile before she gave one??? "Who does that? Makes people earn smiles?" Especially NEW people??
But Cornelius the Equally Weird had been moved to insanity shouting about it AND apparently liked her tyrannical smile-withholding... He was STILL smiling at her, after all.
"Come on. I'll give you a tour. You haven't been in here yet, right? These are suits of armor," obviously, "I don't know what their purpose is, but they're enchanted I think." Aspen gave his hang a little pull. This way. They could prod the armor with their wands and make them do things...? |
