Pancake student. She slowly nodded at that. Umm..Was there another option?
Feeling that she needed to do something with her hand instead of standing like that, she reached for a bowl and held it. Just held it. It was totally normal, holding a bowl, it had a familiarity to it that made her feel at ease. Until his answer came. Lex gave him a chocolate frog. She fell silent and stared down at the bowl in her hand. There was that very known fact that her bestfriend didn't just hand candy left and right. Not that she was cheap or anything but there must have been a reason for the lioness to offer candy? That or Cassia was being a paranoid snake like always.
Juust to be sure. "wh-" She paused and cleared her throat since her voice sounded like a croak. "What for?" She asked quietly her eyes on the table now. Something inside her didn't want to know the answer to that. Yup, coward and paranoid.
Her day. "It was good," was all she said. When Cassia answers with only three words, it definitely mean she wasn't feeling that normal. Why did she have to ask about his day again?
Tag just stared at Cassia as she swayed in all directions. What was she doing? "
Errr, are you planning to ski your way into making the pancakes?" he asked smiling at his lame joke. Anything to break this weird silence. Hopefully that would do it.
What was going on? The boy knew he was acting a bit more strange because he knew something, but Cassia didn't know that he knew. She was acting abnormally quiet. Cassia was never quiet. In fact, she was a bit of a chatter box at times, yes. "
Cassia?!" Tag had yelped, trying to get her back to reality. We're sorry if that scared you.
And she was grabbing the bowl now. Huh? Holding the bowl her hands just stretched out in front of her. To Tag she kind of reminded him of a zombie that had been paralyzed. A zombie that was in the middle of cooking something. Now she was staring at it. Jeez, this was getting really awkward. Tag wished he didn't know. "
If you're playing a staring contest with that bowl.... I think its gonna win." He spoke up, another grin spreading across his face.
Just keep cracking jokes. That usually made her smile and bring her back to her senses.
Eyebrow raise. "
Well, I suspect Lex just.... just wants to ... to share her love of candy. " Tag said with a nod.
Also, he reached behind Cassia and grabbed the whisk she had placed on the countertop. "
Cassia... Cassia-yes, the pancakes." In case she forgot. She seemed really out of it today.
"
You had a good day. That's good. Always good to hear that."
