She may have had a funny way of showing it, but with things that had happened...snapping was the only way she could get anything in a caring sense out of herself. "Good. Now lace them up and keep them on..." She really did care about the Ravenclaw though.
See. She knew exactly what would be happening if Elodie was clued in on anything that had just happened. She used her wand to dry up the bits of her uniform that were wet and reached for an apple. Violent chomping instead of killing someone. That was the plan now.
"I heard you're going to Paris with T." "heard"... Nah, she'd suggested it when he'd came over to hers crying because he couldn't think of anything to prove how much he liked her.
Nods. Nodding was happening as Charlie pulled another bowl of soup towards herself, mentally lacing up her boots. She had to reinvent the mental boots, of course - prior to Elodie's comment they'd been zip up, but that was no matter. Charlie was quite happy to change shoes. If she had to keep the same pair on allllll the time, she'd have hated it.
Elodie had probably chosen the wrong metaphor, though. Charlie was putting way too much thought into it, now. She grinned at the older girl as she began eating an apple, and started tentative spoonfuls on her soup. Tentative, just in case snow had landed in this bowl, too.
She wasn't going to eat snowy soup. Nope.
"YES. He got me plane tickets and stuff. For Christmas." And every other event to come, as Charlie was never going to let the boy buy her a present ever again. This was far too much. Her excitement showed on her face. The thought of it made her eyes light up and her mouth turn up into a grin, because it was like her two favourite things rolled into one.
Hehe.
