Winks were appreciated, of course. Very much so. "'Course! When have you been known to disappoint?" Kinda weird since they hadn't known each other for THAT long. Still. He wasn't disappointed.

Something he was disappointed in was the crystal ball sitting in front of him. How long had he been staring at the misty depths only to see part of his own reflection staring back at him? It felt like an eternity and he was starting to believe that this was a hoax. Or that he was slipping.

Ruby certainly didn't seem to think so and, Grayson broke contact with his crystal ball to glance up at her. "Thanks. Just kinda sucks to not get positive results, you know?" This was the crystal ball's fault. Clearly. Nothing to do with him. And mist? Grayson looked down at his crystal ball again and shrugged. "Maybe it means that there'll be a ton of mist these next couple of--"

And then it happened. It happened AGAIN. Just like in class, the mist shifted a little and the fifth year practically had his nose inches away from the crystal ball to try and see what was going on. Show him something EPIC. He didn't want anything stupid and boring, thank you. He hastily wiped off the condensation from his breath on the crystal and watched as...........

.................... nothing happened. The mist was back.

"False alarm," he mumbled. Grumble grumble. "You having any more luck?"

No disappointment so far apparently. Ruby preened slightly, obviously enjoying the compliment and the vote of confidence. And since Grayson was determined to do well, she kind of wanted to too? Not to impress him exactly but... something. But even if she couldn't manage it herself she wanted to encourage him since he seemed to get frustrated about it.

"Yeah." She said sympathetically. Actually Ruby knew what it was to try hard to do something, to want to do something so badly, and not be able to manage. That was every day for her, every time she picked up a stupid book and every time she tried to write anything that wasn't her own name. Ruby reached out and touched his arm. "Maybe a little more patience, Gray?" Paaause. "Is there... something particular you want to see? Or is it just... anything at all?"

As for what she was seeing... "Just mist." But she was willing to keep looking.
