Aside from cuddling and talking that was, because both were things she enjoyed doing.
"Sometimes. It's a bit like when you've watched something scary and then go to bed and think you see things in the shadows and don't feel safe until you've turned on a light, even though rationally you know that there's nothing there and it's all in your mind. Only there is no light, nothing to banish the dark and the fear. At least not until you can calm down enough to take things in," or pass out from lack of oxygen, but she figured it would be best not to mention that to Isaac. And she wasn't sure why she was equating a panic attack to a fear that some imaginary monster or something from a movie was hiding in your room, maybe because it was something irrational? Or maybe she was more tired than she thought.
"Well then mine would have had to have been going down the isle you were in to have my mini-break down because I thought you'd be too absorbed in the books to notice me," Amelia replied, smiling softly at the thought. To think that she'd been hoping for him not to notice her when he was now one of the most important, if not the most important, person in her life. "And also I think kissing me on the train was a pretty good idea of yours too," because that was a moment that shouldn't be relegated as unimportant compared to them meeting and him asking her out. Especially since he kissed her days before he did so.
Amelia was content right now, and she was hopeful that they would stay this way for a long time.
"Should we go down te the commons then?" he asked questinably. If she felt tired after that, a good nights sleep would definitely help. Right? He didn't want to get up but for one the jacket was getting a bit warm now, and two if she needed rest after the panic attack she should definitely get that! Though he was quite content to stay right there curled up in the chair together now.
Listening as she explained kind of what it felt like. "So letting your imagination take over extremely so." he said with a nod. Wow, he'd not thought of it that way, but he could see how it could be terrifying after a bit of letting an imagination get away from them. Biting his lip he thought a minute before finally asking "Do ye mind telling me what it was thet frightened ye?" It would help him remember not to bring up something that might set off another panic attack. "If it's te bad don' answer thet." he added quickly because he didn't want to set one off right then either!
Smiling softly at what her best decision was. "I couldn't be te engrossed in the books te not see a pretty girl there thet was having a problem." he said softly. Well even if they weren't pretty he wouldn't ignore something like that. But the girl he'd seen was very pretty, beautiful even, and he was glad to have gotten to know her.
Relaxing he sat back comfortably in the chair. He was about to reach for his mug when he realized they were both gone off the arm. Oh no! He hoped they'd not spilled looking to his other side he found a small table now there with two steaming mugs. Laughing gently he reached with his other hand to lift a mug and take a drink.
