She couldn't forget the only way she was going to get to hear him and see him until that first weekend. She sighed at the thought and bit her lip not being able to push it away.
Still pushing the heart around her chain she returned the small smile even though she was struggling to keep her lower lip from trembling a bit. She opened her mouth to say something, but couldn't find the right words so she closed it again. Looking down she adjusted the claw jacket that was hanging on her shoulder bag. She smiled up at him, "Thanks for letting me bring this." She knew it was silly, but she didn't care it was his jacket and she wanted to have it at school with her. She leaned in kissing his cheek. Glancing at his hands she shook her head, "I feel like I have a ton of stuff this year." She half chuckled touching her bear.
Feeling Fluffy on her shoulder bouncing a bit to much. Min scooped her up and set her on the ground. The pygmy puff bounced back and forth and then looked at them. "I'm sorry girl... Elise isn't coming this time. She's still at home." Minerva reached down petting her furry little pet. Watching her bounce off, Min shook her head feeling bad for her little pet. This would be the second year of loosing a pet friend at school. Looking back at Ethan, "Do you want to sit on one of the benches until the train comes.".. Hopefully not for some time yet.
Ethan smiled faintly back at Minerva as she confirmed that she did have the other half of their paired mirrors. That was a good thing, because he was sure he would go crazy if he couldn't at least talk to her once in a while. It was hard enough to have to live separate lives for the better part of a year.
"Okay.. good," he said, squeezing her hand gently.
"Maybe you could let me know when you get there?" Or even talk to him while she was on the train if she wanted but he knew he needed to provide a strong example for her so she wouldn't be too sad, even if this was just as difficult for him.
He took a deep breath as he looked at her, still keeping the same small smile, but feeling bad as there seemed to be an awkward loss of words between the both of them. He looked down for a minute, not wanting things to go this way, then looked up smiling a bit brighter as she mentioned his jacket. He captured her with his arm around her waist as she leaned in to kiss his cheek, holding her for moment before letting her go to look at her.
"Not a problem.. It's as much yours as it is mine, really," he said chuckling, knowing how much she borrowed it especially when she was cheering him on at games. But he didn't mind at all.
"Maybe when you wear it, it can feel like I'm close to you.. like I'm there with you." Maybe that sounded kinda lame, but he hoped that it would be even some small comfort to her. He grinned as he looked at the bear he won for her at the festival.
"Possibly.. but it's all stuff you can't leave behind." Nope.. it was all necessary as far as he was concerned.
Green eyes followed the ball of fluff as she bounced around on the ground and he looked on a bit sadly. Their little pets were all so attached to each other and he was sure they couldn't understand why they had to be separated, but figured they'd be alright.
"I'm going to bring Elise up to the dorm with me when I go back to get the rest of my things." He didn't want to leave his animals up there alone and figured his parents could take care of them for a few days. Smiling a bit brighter at her, he nodded to her suggestion.
"Sure, let's sit down.." Still holding her hand, he led her over to the nearest empty bench and sat down near the middle, setting his things down on one side of him and allowing room for her to sit on the other.
