His eyebrows rose as the girl at his side completed the tale, "And you don't want to spend the summer with Mr. and Mrs. Bole, and then Mr. and Mrs. Branxton?" he repeated, making the obvious guess at her emotions as he flashed her another smile.

It was clear that Aspen wasn't that happy about this, but Cornelius couldn't help but smile at her. She was just... He couldn't put a word to it, but she was being very Aspen-y, facing him at the table even though they were sitting side by side, her feet tucked up right next to his arm. And, more obviously, she was stroking his face with her thumb as though it was the most normal thing in the world.

He didn't mind though, and allowed her smooth finger to trace the lines of his face as he grabbed another roll. "What's wrong with these people?" he teased as a follow up question, absentmindedly resting his arm across her knees and placing his chin on his forearm as though to physically suggest she had his full attention. He flashed her a grin.

It was impossible not to smile back at Cornelius. Aspen was having a bit of a snit, "an odd reaction" as she called it, and yet.... here she was smiling and thinking about maaaaaybe inching even closer to her favorite boy. How did snuggling mix with sarcasm? Could that work?

"Of course I don't want to spend the summer with them. Not that I find Aunt Linda's to be pleasing, but at least it's family. It's not as imposing. I suppose I should be grateful for the opportunity. Mr. Bole is the Head of MLE, and Mrs. Branxton used to be the Headmistress here. I'm sure I'll learn a lot, but... but I just want to go home." Maybe the thought of snuggling scared away her sarcasm, because now Aspen was being nothing short of sincere. She just wanted to go home.

"The problem might be with me." Paaaaaause. "And I'm also going to miss you." Just facts, that was. Aspen grinned as his chin rested on her arm, with her own head tilting sideways to take in every bit of this sight. "You're my favorite."
