Sigh. Happy, happy sigh.
"St. Valentine. Or maybe it was St. Patrick? One of them," and of course Aspen would have to look it up now. "Maybe both. Do you know?"
Cornelius's smile only widened as Aspen explained who she was talking about, merely shaking his head as she asked if he knew which of the two was actually a wizard.
"I have no idea," he admitted, though he didn't seem to be all that focused on his own lack of knowledge on the matter, his eyes placed entirely on Aspen. That was, until he spotted the paper mountain next to her again. Oh right. She had things to do.
"You should probably get back to those, huh?" he suggested with a small, slightly amused smile.
"I'm distracting you." He flashed her yet another signature Cornelius-smile, his light brown eyes examining her expression for a moment before he started to get up.
"I've gotta go anyway, I need figure something out," he glanced to his hand for a moment before returning his gaze to Aspen.
"But send that letter. I wanna see what he says about me," he grinned, raising his eyebrows playfully as he tucked his chair back beneath the table and started to make his way over towards the Common Room door.
"I'll see you soon!" he promised before ducking out of their conversation early.
