Sure...all that studying was probably guaranteeing the grades that he needed to win Kalla's bet, but it wasn't good for Benjy's sanity.
He needed to feel the wind in his over-grown hair.
Except that wasn't easy in a frozen castle...so a trip to the kitchen to top up his studying supplies (namely: cookies) would have to make do. No point going there slowly though - not if your name was Benjy. His ever-present skateboard was once more at his feet, and Benjy effortlessly jumped down the final staircase to the entrance hall - his lack of enthusiasm for the indoors evident in the fact that he didn't throw a trick into it before landing.
It was a bad habit she'd developed but Lex couldn't stop. Despite knowing the front door was no way to leave she kept walking to it, if only to look and remember the days she used to bolt through the doors with her kneazle, either on the way inside for a snack or on the way out to find life on the grounds. Why would they not fix this? Any longer and she'd possibly develop a nervous twitch about her. The crazed look was already there.
After what seemed like an eternity of blank staring at the giant double doors, she turned to head back to her Common Room and found...oh? Benjy? You think she'd run into him more often now that they were stuck on the inside, though she supposed he was just off with Vesper and them again. That was a thing last she heard.
"That was disappointing and we both know it." She said, conjuring an amused grin for the occasion. A jump without tricks? The snow must have been affecting him too.
