Like...he was on her mind when she did things sometimes and she made the right decisions because she knew what he'd want her to do. So why was it so hard for him, huh? She just didn't get it.
And then he asked the big question, the one she'd been waiting for. The blonde sat up a little straighter and grinned. "I didn't do anything." Ta-da. "I just mean, I didn't do anything that you should be worried about." Nodnod. "I simply decided to show you that jumping to conclusions about me could hurt you just as much as it does me." Shrug.
"So you buying me a butterbeer or what?" She had come all this way.
Naturally, Edric didn't believe it when Ella explained simply that she didn't do anything... at least, not anything that he should be worried about. Of COURSE, this immediately got him to worry. And though he was dying to jump into more conclusions and have another panic attack, he did remember he was in the middle of a lesson here. And Edric had always been a good student.
"I suppose I see your point," said the boy when Ella explained that jumping to conclusions could be hurtful. "But you don't think you went a bit far on this one?" he asked, raising an eyebrow. Seriously, though. She'd nearly given him a heart attack! Normally, he would've been offended and probably wouldn't have spoken to Ella for a couple weeks after this. But since the girl did have a point and he was just too relieved to find all his crazy conclusions inaccurate, he let her have her glory.
And then Ella was asking for a butterbeer.
"Not until you tell me what it is, exactly, that I
shouldn't be worried about," replied Edric simply. He was not going to let this go until he knew exactly what Ella was up to. And, though he wouldn't admit it, he did still worry about whatever was going on. Ella was being so mysterious, he just couldn't help it.
