His snortly laugh was followed by a crooked smile up at her. "First of all, you didn't ask me if I was observant, which if you were yourself you'd've caught. You're just spouting out random ideas that have occurred to your teeny-tiny bird brain." Would she be as sensitive to her intellect as the other Eaglets were? "You might have also noticed that I told you to shut up. You know. If you were observant."

Cutty's crooked smile twisted into a smirk as he tore his gaze away from the girl to continue scanning the book. "Now scarper off, Tora Gallaway. Or I'll tell Professor Dursley that in addition to disrupting learning in class, you also tried to distract me as I studied independently." He said with a sigh doing the shoo thing with his hand and not bothering to look at her.

He might have been content with simply letting her draw whatever conclusions she wished to and then using her own perspective to exploit her. If she wanted to think him unobservant, it wasn't his intention to prove her wrong as he didn't care for the opinions of others. Though, clearly, she thought he did care, and perhaps did herself. Else how could she have imagined it even an insult?

Snake obviously didn't understand that saying "scarper off" to Tora Gallaway was not going to do anything for him. In fact, it was about to make his situation worse. Especially since he threatened using a Professor to get what he wanted. Unsurprisingly, Tora didn't move except to open her mouth to argue; but first a logical dress down.

"You implied that you considered yourself observant, but I was just pointing out that you weren't," she said, just as blunt as ever. He needed to disillusion himself if he thought he was observant. Honestly, Tora didn't care a whit if Snake was observant or not. That's why she never asked if the kid was; because she didn't care.

And calling her bird brained? Seriously? "Shows how creative you are when all you can come up with is 'bird brain'. Really. If you're trying to insult me, it's not working." The second year paused here to roll her eyes. "I know I'm not a genius like some of the other Ravenclaws, but I'm a hell of a lot more curious! I'm in Ravenclaw so I can learn about stuff and improve my knowledge. So get this! "Insulting" me in this way doesn't work! 'Cause it just tells me that I've got more to learn and I'm happy about that. So, thanks." she finished off with a HUGE grin just to prove that she wasn't bothered. And she wasn't. Mostly. It did bug her a bit that she was "spouting out random ideas"... and it wasn't like she was stupid or anything. Her smile didn't falter as she ran his words through her head again, but inside she could feel them punch her. Gently though, since when she really thought about it his words weren't that harsh and it was Snake saying them, so they didn't even count as an insult.

And yes, I noticed that you told me to shut up. Have you noticed that I've ignored you?

But then he brought in Professor Dursley and specifically last lesson. The one she had been late for. Her grin turned into a glare as she thought about how the professor had asked for a shoe, which she had nearly thrown at his head, and about how Snake boy here had laughed at her. "You can't handle your own problems?" she growled, taking the book right off his lap so he had no choice but to look at her. "Since when does a snake need someone else to fix their problems for them? And what you suggest as the solution to your problem is calling a teacher? That's called tattling, haven't you heard?" She scoffed. She finally found out why Benzi seemed to be his only friend, nobody wants to be friends with a tattle tale.

When she finished her spiel, she put the book on the table, making a mental mark of the page it had been on. Other than not wanting this tattle tale to go yell on her to any Professors about her taking his book, she wanted his full attention, and the book on the table meant that he didn't have anything to look at while he dismissively waved his hand next time. She understood, however, just how annoying it was to lose ones place in a book, which was the only reason why she remembered the page number Snake had been on. Not that she would tell the little bugger.
