Oh. Ooooh. She shook her head, "No, no. It's all right. I wasn't offended. I think it is kind of funny when I said it like that." not funny at all when she was forced to spend her days before graduation away from home though but that was ancient history. She grew used to that.

"Oh. Good." About the house-elf doing the sandwiches. How come they never cooperated with her? Maybe because of her bad timing when they had their hands full with a baby house-elf. Speaking of which! "Did you see the baby house-elf anywhere in the kitchen when you got the basket?" That was a genuinely curious question.

And why did he NOT laugh at her duck-stealing gossip? Maybe it was lame and childish. He must've thought she was one of those fake thinkers; they do the reading but it never gets into their minds leaving them immature forever. "Sorry, I'm rambling about a lot of unnecessary things. It's just that I'm really excited about bonding with someone new. I had a boyfriend for about five or six months and then lost him so it took me a lot to go out again and.. maybe I'm not the socialist I used to be." Her voice echoed her worry too.


Huh, what? Oh, crud. Had he been completely ignoring her? He turned to look at her, visibly embarrassed.

"I'm sorry, it's not anything you said, I promise." Though, that was an interesting tidbit about the boyfriend, yet he chose to ignore it. "I felt bad about what I said and I guess I just got stuck in my head about the laughing and.. and.."

He sighed and put down his sandwich, turning to face her again. "I'm not really good at this whole conversation thing, if you couldn't tell. I say the wrong thing all the time, or think I do, and then I don't talk, or I talk to much or I bumble over my words, or I do things like laugh in people's face about things that aren't really funny."

He took a deep breath, clearly winded. "See?" He shrugged.

"I'm sorry to hear about the trouble with.. well, whatever his name was." Emrys looked very intently at the pattern on the blanket. "You sh- shouldn't let it, let it get to you," he stammered. "H-h-his loss."

He coughed forcefully, fake clearing his throat. "So, did you say something about a baby elf?" He looked up, hoping she'd take the change-of-subject bait.
