"Fine? That doesn't really sound too good" she teased lightly, another small smile playing on her lips as her blue eyes tried to judge what was happening again, looking for any signs in his reaction that could tell her what was going on.
Bully?
The blonde raised an eyebrow at the question, wondering what was going on! Did someone say something about her? Honestly, she could be a bit of a brat when it came to teasing people but actually bully someone?
"Uh... no... why?" she asked her broken up question, brushing a piece of hair behind her ear as she tilted her head to the side again.
So smooth Kahlan... so smooth.
Forrest ignored her attempts to keep the mood light. His heartbeat was frantic, because this was the first time he ever confronted someone so bluntly. It took all his will not to pant, but he had definitely paled as he examined her expression to catch a glimpse of lying. He didn't want to break their friendship, because she was the first friend he'd made here. But she was a Slytherin, and he couldn't keep a friendship that would only harm him.
...
His face broke into a genuine grin then.
No. Good. He was visibly relieved as he threw a hand over her shoulders.
"Nothing. Just curious." He wanted to believe her. Plus, he was dead afraid of continuing the confrontation. It would be a shame if he lost the first friend he'd made here, so no more weird questions.
"You hungry?"
