Probably something unimportant, but psh... Even though Gwen decided this wouldn't be some huge news or something intriguing, curiosity made her wish he'd just ask the question already. Really. She was way too curious to be able to keep calm.
Oh. More as a reflex, the third year bit her lip as she heard him say something like 'don't get offended'. Merlin's beard. That had to be something bad. Ughh. She stared blankly at the Hufflepuff, waiting anxiously for him to finish talking.

What was that?, Gwendolyn thought and laughed nervously. HOW in the world was she supposed to react to that?!?! Stand up and leave? Ignore the question? That was a bit too much to handle... Maybe simply answer a boring 'I don't know' and leave it like that. Actually- wait- was she really that cold? Anyway- did he say it on a friendly tone or.. not? Probably not. But she really couldn't tell. 'I- I--', she mumbled, still searching for something to say.
Maybe she could explain to him something with the DNA and stuff like that. Yes. That would be a solution. After all, it was all about that. How could she have chosen being nice or cold towards others? All this was CONFUSING. Very confusing.
Perhaps it was time to start giving an answer. 'Well...' Err. That sounded like a good start. Way to go. 'I... ummm... suppose--' dramatic pause 'genetics?' Ooooh- and for the 100th time it was proven that Gwen needed one of those muggle psychiatrists. 'Or maybe... I don't know!' Maybe it wasn't her fault. She somehow remembered that thing Ari wrote for her. Perhaps her bestie was right about it. 'I'll try being nicer if ou try being smarter'. That counded like Gwen. Actually naaah. It was definitely her fault.
Jory just stared at Gwen as she laughed somewhat nervously. He didn't say anything or even crack a smile. He wanted a serious answer. Honestly, Gwen was too young to be living so uptight. If she continued to be rude to others, chances are she's and up being alone later down in life.
As Gwen struggled for an answer, Jory wondered if she'd leave the question unanswered. But her eventual answer, made Jory stare at her even more.
"Genetics?'' he asked more than surprised.
"I really don't think it has anything to do with that. It's your choice, isn't it?'' Jory paused before adding,
''You should start trusting up to people more. I'm not saying you should go around trusting everyone full.'' ''Before someone breaks it and you end up blaming me,'' he thought silently.
Gwen said genetics.
"Did that mean her parents are or were also like that?'' Jory briefly wondered if there was anything he could do to help Gwen open up...
