"You do?" Evelyn asked, surprised. OH. "Erm.." Evelyn started hesitantly. She wasn't sure if the boy would like to teach her since he really didn't seem the kind of guy who would be interested in teaching anything to anyone. Anyway, she'd decided to give a try. "So..I was wondering..if you'd like to teach me?" If he didn't want to..that was fine. She wouldn't mind, really.
"Really?" Very nice..she wasn't really sure about that but heh. He just complimented her..so great. "Thank you." Evelyn said, with a smile.
As Evs questioned Edric's taste in 'fun', he flashed her a half-smile and shrugged. "Why not?"
That was Edric for ya. Answering questions with more questions, always going against the norm.
Edric leaned back on the palms of his hands absentmindedly as Evelyn seemed to grow hesitant beside him. He looked up at the gray sky then back down at the Hufflepuff girl as she suddenly spoke again. Apparently, she wanted him to
teach her how to swim. Huh. Edric raised his eyebrows in surprise at the request.
First of all, he'd never been asked to teach anyone anything.
Second of all, she honestly
trusted him enough to teach her such a thing? For all she knew, he could be a serial killer who liked to drown innocent girls! Of course, he wasn't. But… Edric was the paranoid kind. He didn't trust people and didn't expect people to trust him.
However.
Evelyn was a friend. They'd already established that.
"Sure." He shrugged, then added, "But I'm assuming those lessons won't be starting for a few more months if you're really this sensitive to the cold," he said, half teasing. In reality, it was FREEZING outside, but Edric seemed to be immune to the cold for some reason. Maybe because he was made of ice himself?
