Heh. Yeah, Max sounded more like a Ravenclaw than the ones he's known so far. James didn't study that much, and Tiberius wasn't around much to actually notice his behavior around books and such. Though, he liked to study, for sure.
Vashti was the one that most resembled a Ravenclaw. Sort of. Didn't matter. "Well, I'll keep an eye out for him." Just because he liked Max. And the boy was probably another Arrows fan, yes?
Back to the most important part of whatever it was they were doing, whether it was arguing or not, Treyen chuckled once she spoke. Of course. He knew that. It was fairly obvious that she'd want to go full speed once she felt she'd dominated the stands or something.
And...yes. Walk. He got that, by the way, he knew it wasn't the same thing, but he wasn't going to be supportive of this.
What good could come of that? No good was coming out of this discussion either. "None whatsoever. And to me, neither does your proposal." IT DIDN'T. Was it bringing them both joy right now? Not really. Will it help her after Hogwarts Quidditch is over? Not really. Was there a slight chance of her getting hurt? There was always the chance, and he was trying to deal with it.
What? Oh, he finally looked at her. "It wasn't a threat, Eliana! I just don't want to hear about it." Ellie was free to do as she wished, and there was nothing he could do about it, okay? He'll just be terribly upset by knowing she'd been exposing herself to unnecessary risks. And you know what? She didn't get his point of view because she didn't worry when Quidditch came around. Yet Treyen always was.
She should go ask Max. He'll say yes. He'll help her.
Either way, his eyes focused on the snow again, before she said that one last thing. That was...VERY mean of her, if she's ever seen Treyen a little bit angry, then she probably recognized the face, if not...then there's always a first time. What set it apart from a normal frowning face was the fact that his eyes only got lighter in color.
Those same eyes were back on her, only they changed the second her blue eyes were in sight. This was...sad, wasn't it? He wanted to make sure she was alright...but at the same time couldn't bear knowing what she wanted to do. And then she mentioned...crossing her fingers and hope for the best?! This was torture. SHE knew he'll never stop worrying about her, then why do this? Why subject him to this?
"Stop." He said, looking down. He also took one small step towards her, but that was of no importance. "I can't do this anymore."
Ellie nodded. It wasn't incredibly important to her if they hung out or whatever. It just seemed natural that they would have found each other's companionship. But...yeah, if Treyen could catch him, or vice versa, or whatever, she was certain they'd get along swimmingly.
His chuckle caused her to tilt her head, skeptically. Did he also realize he was being ridiculous? Finally?
He still seemed to be holding true to this realization when he ADMITTED that walking wouldn't solve anything. Then it was pointless, no? To walk through.
Oh wait. 'Neither does your proposal'. And that meant...? Well, whatever it meant, it wasn't along the lines of him being ridiculous.
Personally, Ellie thought her proposal would do a lot of good. Did it not make perfect sense to try and learn how to perfectly navigate through the support beams below the stands? They weren't ever going to change. She could use what she learned in the next match, and the next, and next term, even.
She flinched at the use of her full name. Way to further instill one of the reasons she hated it being used. Because it was only ever used when someone was angry at her. And frankly, she didn't appreciate it much. But it got her attention.
"Treyen." Yeah, she could use HIS full name, too. Even if she usually always did but STILL.
"I would have thought you'd want to be the one to be there." You know, in case anything DID go awry, wouldn't HE want to be there? Or did he trust whoever she was with enough to bury himself away while she was practicing this potentially risky behavior?
While Treyen's eyes roamed Merlin knows where, Ellie kept hers trained on him. So, yes, she saw that flash of anger. And swallowed. For whatever reason, she felt the need to continue. To convince him. Because, really, she'd only feel guilty doing so against his will. The softening of his eyes gave her the extra confidence.
"I've been in there loads before. I shouldn't let one incident stop me from doing so again." So help? Please?
Or stop. Fine. Ellie eyed the step he took and wondered if she should match it, but didn't.
"Can't do what?" Resist her logic? Because that sounded like an excellent plan to her. To just agree and help her like she wanted him to.
