"I think a good night's rest would do me good too," he grumbled sarcastically, but he had to admit, that morning run did sound kind of nice. Exercise probably WOULD do him good...exercise created blood flow to the brain, after all. Plus it was nice to see Bart every once in a while too...he was one of his favorite Gryffindors, after all.
"Maybe...ask me again in four hours," he grumbled. "Why did the urge to do push-ups strike you NOW?" he asked him. He knew there was a point here somewhere and if Cutty didn't get to it in the next few seconds, he was going back to bed.
"
It's four in the morning!" He said as if it were late and Caleb were sleeping in. Cutty was one of those disgustin' morning folk, apparently. "
I'm always oop at this hour. I pray." NO YOU DON'T, CUTTY MORDAUNT! "
Soomtimes." NO! "
And, I overheard Bianca Rush tellin' one of 'er little gehlfriends she thought yer were a stunner if only yer had a few less pounds on yer." LIES.COM!!!
Caleb needed a girl. An older girl. Perhaps one with experience if they were lucky. Someone to help take his mind off of OWL stress. Caleb's increasing cantankerousness was something Cutty was not all about.
Also, he sort of didn't trust that Caleb was the sort to leave him a blind-eye unturned and might possibly snitch if he knew half the things Cutty had planned for the year. Worse yet, he may asked to be paid for his silence not unlike Beverly Wayne. A distraction and an influence was chiefly what Cutty prescribed for the sleepy little he-bear. Not to mention he had questions about something Caleb had said during their last run in. It was something Cutty found almost misplaced on the normally respectful brother Newell.
Also, he wanted to use the prefects bathrooms for the access to the fancy water taps.
