Personal Ascanius reasons that made him not- whatever.
So instead of egging her on to continue he just nodded at everything she said and kept rocking his smirk. It was the jaw. Just made everything he did seven million more times alluring. Not his fault, yeah? And then he did decide to respond to her last little quip, "That would've help the transition astoundingly. You know?" Map of the whole school. Why hadn't anyone thought of it yet?
Um, did she really just say that? He stopped walking for a moment JUST to stare at her. That was...wow. Was she actually going forward and saying stuff like that? So Ascanius did what any normal human would do. He laughed.
And then BATHROOM! He just smirked over at her and said, "Gimme a minute to go. I gotta ask you about that, beautiful." Her ridiculous theory. Bwhahahha. And then he walked in.
Transition? Ha.
"Yeah I dunno about that, coming from homeschooling and muggle high school to this is just..." Derry shrugged.
"I was expecting a little more... pazazz." Derry popped her hands with that word and shrugged a bit.
"You'd think a school with so many rich kids would be able to raise enough money to not make us pay for stuff." Because Derry didn't
have any money. And even though she hated borrowing it, she was actually starting to think she'd have to keep borrowing to the point she wouldn't be able to give it back.
"Maybe we should map it out for future reference, sell the maps to newer students next year... could help pay for the whole eating thing."
Wait, what? What had she done? Was it really that strange a question? She was just curious. Personally, if she was called gorgeous by the same person who could call a female troll - for want of a better example - gorgeous, then she'd probably not really care. In fact, she might even be offended. Not that she thought she was particularly pretty, but she liked to believe she was at least better looking than... no Derry, stop thinking mean things about people.
And then he disappeared into the bathroom. Oh. Derry was actually planning on going to the Library or something, but it'd be rude to just disappear, probably, so she waited outside and unwrapped her parcel.
