Though she hadn't stopped watching him since the moment he'd arrived so the change was probably unnoticable.
He liked to talk, didn't he? Olly just continued to watch him, a little absently now. She'd stopped paying attention somewhere around him telling her about the different professors they'd had. However, her eyes properly focused on his face again when he said something about following someone else's rules. "I just have my own rules." That was probably so not the point Mo was trying to make but whatever.
It was clear she wasn't talking about classroom rules, yeah? Probably not, though.
And then he offered to help with Charms. "Yeah...I don't think so." What was he going to do? Tutor her in how to properly hold her wand? Also she wasn't quite sure what to make of him just randomly offering to help her either. They weren't friends, they hardly even knew each other. Ravenclaws...
Y'know what was interesting? Olly-Olivia gave off the appearance of being a deeply interesting and complicated person. It was the smirk that did it, provoking a response in the other person of wanting to fill in all the blanks. She could be totally silent and the other person felt the burden of conversation all on their own.
It was pretty clever, actually. But the
interesting thing was that Olly-Olivia was actually kind of boring. The truth was that she had nothing to say. Mo kinda felt sorry for her, which was why he didn't up and leave when she shut conversational door after conversational door.
Also he didn't leave 'cause it was rude. "Just having your own rules is harder sometimes. You end up punishing yourself for no reason." He leaned back on his hands and regarded Olivia openly. Nothing sly at all in his gaze. "Why did you tell me to sit?"
