Color this Ravenclaw intrigued.
".... well...," Aspen squinted at him curiously, "not me. I don't personally decorate, but there will be signs. For example, there will be flower deliveries at breakfast, and there will candy and lots of pink. You're observant; you'll notice." She was confident to that.
He was thinking hard over there. As she often did, Aspen tried to pick this thoughts out of his head. It never worked. But maybe one day...? Maybe....
She brought her other hand up so that both elbows were on the table and her palms were a resting place for her chin. "In to it?" In to it. In to it. She closed one eye, then opened it and closed the other. She liked watching the subtle changes in her views of Cornelius from each eye.
Aspen being Aspen.
"I guess I could be. I have no major issues with pink or chocolate." That was the typical way to celebrate the holiday and stuff and it didn't hurt anyone...
"He was a wizard, I think..."
Cornelius gave a brief nod as Aspen explained that he would notice as the school decorated for the holiday, that he was observant enough to see the flower deliveries and pink everywhere. Flower deliveries? He glanced over at Aspen with new contemplation on his expression, wondering if that was something she would want. A flower delivery? Nah, it didn't seem Aspen enough.
He watched as she watched him, closing one eye at a time as though to look at him from different points of view, before deciding to answer his question. She guessed she could be. No major issues with pink or chocolate. At these words, Cornelius couldn't help but let out a soft chuckle, amusement filling his expression as he quickly realized Aspen wasn't really the demand-for-Valentine's-stuff kind of girl. How interesting that he wanted to get her something all the more because of that idea.
"Who?" he asked as she mentioned that someone was a wizard, seemingly a comment from out of the blue. He wasn't sure at all who she was talking about, and his smile fell just slightly with her random words.
