A grimace would have been more truth-telling yet he managed to keep from doing so. "Aye...I promise Selina," he promised with a nod. If he was that bad he doubted he'd be able to conceal it anyway. He wasn't that good an actor.
They walked for a bit, his hand falling back down to his side as he wasn't sure of adding it to her back. There was still a line they were unsure to cross in their relationship which lead to uncertainties in actions. Silence had started to build between them until Selina turned once more to face them even as they continued to move.
"I've been well," he answered as they moved on to getting updates on their times away from each other or at least surrounded by other people. There was enough of it though it was expected seeing as Selina at least was a very busy and popular person nowadays. "And yerself? Probably glad potions hasn't started yet eh?"
There was an awkward silence that had engulfed the pair as they continued to walk. Selina knew that she and Gideon were dancing on a very weird line. Their relationship had its foundation in friendship, which to a certain degree was brilliant, but that meant that the two always were testing waters to see how far they were willing to balance the whole relationship thing. They were also getting older now and it seemed that everyone else's relationships were all hugs and affection and presents and goo. The two of them were not like that... was that wrong?
She bit down on her bottom lip to hold back a smirk when he asked if she was glad that potions hadn't started yet.
"Oh you're so funny," Selina joked bumping into his shoulder a little with her own,
"But yeah I kind of am. No offense to Lafay, but I'm kind of glad that she has been AWOL. Is that awful of me?" She brushed off the question and joked,
"I'm sure you're upset about no potions, Potion's Prince."
