An approving smile graced her face to balance the uncertainty in his.

Those were easy decisions to make, though, you chose which ones did best, or the first 3 or 4 that were marvelous and they got in. That's how it worked. And he knew this, unless the whole process of elimination is what truly wears him out. Being Captain wasn't the easiest job, but the decisions were practical, logical ones. However, if everyone trying out was just as good as the other...then..., "Sometimes," she agreed, with another smile.

A date to the kitchens? It sounded like it was, but he was taking his words back almost every time he said something, it was difficult to keep track...if she actually didn't notice that what he'd originally meant to say was what counted. Her smile was a mixture of her previous sweet one with the slightest sign of a smirk. "I know where to find you," she finally said, one single nod was given with the answer. And she found herself wanting him not to take back his words.

Kate was definitely not oblivious to his reactions since he had her undivided attention. There were so many things he hadn't realized until she spoke, and that was all amusing. He genuinely didn't know. And she liked that. Not the fact that she took notice of more things, but of how brutally honest and slightly innocent he was. Kind of like West. So when he laughed, she felt relieved, that could only mean he was entering some relaxed state he desperately needed. They desperately needed it. She seemed to have it, now she was just passing it along, so relax, Keefer. Also, she pretended to be offended by this, but kept her smile, "Hey, I was serious," she said, poking him ever-so-lightly on the arm. She IS amazing.

He seemed to have taken all that better than expected, truth be told. His gaze was almost kept on her the whole time, which was a plus. Though her heart rate got faster as he got closer. But he listened. That should've helped him relax a lot more, right? Because he had very little to say, therefore, he could organize his thoughts.

Or so she thought.

Now it took him a little bit to speak, but once he did the widest of smiles was on her face, "We are!" that had been her intention all along.

Oh? Hogsmeade? Why did it sound familiar? "That's where the train stopped, right?" she said, and turned her face in the general direction of the Front Gate, the little village right outside of Hogwarts as there, "I haven't," she replied, and held her gaze a little longer until he spoke again, slowly turning back towards him. 'You should go with--'. At those words, her now gray eyes were instantly on his, and her heart was racing for whatever unseen reason. '--someone'. That's not what he intended to say. It wasn't until now she realized she'd stopped breathing. The old smile slowly returning, for she forgot to smile as well, "You should ask me to go with you, since you're the one mentioning Hogsmeade and all," her tone was playful, yet she really hoped he did, eventually, got to ask her, or she'll do that herself.

"Oh, well.. okay, then." There she went smiling again. He almost wished she wouldn't. Almost, but not quite. It sort of wrong-footed him every time it happened, though. Like, his brain froze for a second and he missed stuff. Quite unfortunate, really, but entirely bad.

Sometimes? Yes, that was correct. But perhaps she'd never had to make the decision to cut people from a team. It had been a nightmare last year. He had felt so much pressure to get it right. Looking back, he couldn't remember how he'd done it. But he must have done something good, because they had won the Cup. Man, I hope I can replicate that, he wished fervently.

He couldn't help but feel that he was confusing her. He resolved to wait a moment whenever something came to his head. That way he could hopefully avoid even MORE embarrassing slips. "Yes, you do. And.. sorry I keep changing everything I'm saying. I should probably start thinking before I speak, right?" Rhetorical question. The answer was CLEARLY yes. "And no, you're right! You're definitely amazing!" he clarified, elbowing her right back. Wait, do girls get mad if you elbow them? Is that just, like, a thing you can do TO a guy, but not back to a girl? He made a second mental note to owl Treyen straight away when he got back to the castle... which, on reflection, would probably be much later than he had originally planned...

So she agreed. They were even. And yet, he felt they weren't. She seemed satisfied, but he felt like there was so much about her he still wanted to know. She was almost being.. mysterious. Like, she only said all that after he had first told her the same information. It made him even more curious about her, if that was even possible.

He was a bit worried when she looked puzzled, but then she seemed to figure out what he was talking about and Keefer relaxed a bit. "Yeah, it is. Hogsmeade Station." He nodded. "There's a village a little ways from there. It's the only all-wizard settlement around," he said to her hair, since her face was towards the front gate. At his almost-request, he could tell she was... Upset? Angry? Confused? ..Hopeful? Never mind, he couldn't read her expression. At least until she said that he should ask her. The balloon in his chest began to inflate once more.

But as he promised her, he stopped for a moment to think before he spoke. What if we have to have Quidditch practice that day? I can't ask her this far in advance, cuz I may have to back out. This thought horrified him, causing him to bite his lower lip a bit. Then again, if she were ON the team, she would understand. But that wasn't certain. Although, she's probably really good. I mean, who would be better, right? Right. Yes, she'd almost certainly make the team. He was sure of it.

"I don't even know when the first Hogsmeade weekend is. And I can't really promise I won't have Quidditch." Which was true. "But, I am the Captain," which she already knew, "so I suppose I could just.. make sure we're done in time." His gaze dropped to her hand for a brief moment, then snapped back to her eyes. "So yeah, I'd love to show you around if you'd like." That's right, Keef. Just... play it cool.
