Selina would oftentimes roll her eyes and it had caused a small fight now and again between her and Jonathan when she had been tutoring him for his OWLs - which were all his fault because he was so lazy. She missed him...a lot....and her right hand found the heart shaped pendant hanging around her neck.
She smiled and sipped some more on her tea, letting it warm her. "I suppose you're right..." to some extent at least. His next comment sort of caught her off guard a bit. Some things might just take a longer time, if only it were that easy. One of the things Kurumi had often wished for recently really didn't have any chance of coming true, but she still wished for it nonetheless. It was just like he said, she liked the idea of it all. Her cup now empty, Kurumi set it down and looked back at the Hufflepuff. "You're a really good friend Lewis." And she patted his shoulder somewhat awkwardly.
She nearly made things MORE potentially awkward by asking if it had been a good wish, but she turned her violet eyes back towards her telescope. She had been trying to find Neptune in all this after all and she was going to call herself a failure if she didn't find the bloody thing. Tapping her telescope one more time to focus it, Kurumi continued her search. Even though he normally really wasn't any good at reading other people's emotions, Kurumi was very clearly upset about something. Or at least somewhat nervous. Only why? Was it the conversation about the shooting star? But she had been the one to point it out in the first place. Was it him? Had he said something that had upset her?
Biting his lip he was going through the last few seconds of their conversation in his head, trying to figure out what it could have possible been that had upset her. He was so lost in thought that he was completely taken by surprise when all of sudden he felt Kurumi's hand on his shoulder. Tilting his head to the side a little, he glanced down at her hand before looking back up at her. "I-" What was he supposed to say to that? That hearing her say that made him incredibly happy?
"You're a really good friend too, Kurumi." And then because he genuinely felt the need to add that, he said, "Thank you." For what he wasn't entirely sure. For being his friend, he supposed. Watching her return her attention to the telescope, Lewis waited a moment before doing the same after having set down his now-empty mug onto the blanket. He tried very hard to keep his gaze on what he could see of the sky through the telescope, even though it somehow turned out to be quite hard.
And he still hadn't spotted Neptune. |
