While they were doing their hugging thing, Maggie's eyes once again flicked over to the door. Which she could see again, you know, because Zeke was busy greeting Hady and hadn't moved with her when she'd taken a step back. So the distraction was gone for a moment and she found herself getting worried again. Although it was rather quiet outside. Seemingly.

Which could be the calm before the storm for all she knew. Also if the acromantulas weren't HERE, it meant that they were probably outside which could turn out pretty bad for Noel. And you know, the others. Not that she WANTED the spiders to be here. No, they could just stay as far away from her as possible for all the cared. Also she still hadn't spotted some of her friends in the Great Hall.

Where was Dante?

Zeke managed to get her out of that mindset again however when he commented on her calling him gallant. He did know she'd been making fun of him, right? Even though it was somewhat true. She'd said that for Hady's sake. So when he took it seriously, Maggie just made a point of rolling her eyes and shaking her head, turning towards Hady. She got it, right?

And then they were talking about Maggie. Heheheh. She raised her head and straightened up a little when Zeke looked at her. Impressive huh? Although APPARENTLY he needed Hady's input on the matter. Gosh, Zeke, rude much? Maggie poked him in the arm with her wand before giving Hady a curious look. Yes, hmm? She should start saying how impressive she really was and all that.

Only she didn't. But instead gave a rather vague answer.

Which didn't faze Maggie. "She just doesn't want you to think I'm more impressive than her." She continued to smile and even gave Hady a sort of side-hug. Girls gotta stick together you know. She was such a good girl-friend.

Where had he been? Zeke's grin grew. Did she not think that he would want to follow the action? He wasn't about to stay here all cooped up like a sitting duck. Even now he longed to go charging toward the forest, taking down as many creepy crawlies as he could. Alas, it wasn't happening. "I was being charming in the entrance hall," he supplied, not bothering to whisper as she had. Of course, by being charming he meant that he was CHARMing the hall, yeah, yeah? She understood, right? But the look in her eyes wasn't missed as she gave him a once over. He was fine. Not even a scratch. He gave Hady's arm a nudge with his elbow, his grin softening a little. "You 'kay?" he asked in return. She looked fine, good, well... but it was possible he could have missed something.

But geez, Maggie! For a brief second Zeke frowned as her wand made contact with his arm. He was greatly tempted to poke her back, or wet her again... water was a girls enemy, was it not? Their hair was usually their primary concern. Why she had even poked him was beyond him. Did he say something wrong? And judging by Hady's lack of immediate reaction, she wasn't all too impressed either.

...

What?

What did he say?

She did respond though, so that was something, but it told him nothing about Maggie. If anything it told him more about how the two ladies got along, and perhaps not very well? That thought flew out the window as Maggie hugged Hady though, so... he was clueless. Girls were so weird.

"Uh huh..." he mused, unsure of WHAT he was ALLOWED to say in response to something like that. "I never said anything about anyone being MORE impressive ," he clarified. How and why would he think anyone could be more impressive than Hady? She was awesome.

He noticed again that Maggie was looking toward the door, and Hady too... and frankly he didn't feel the need to anymore. If something was going to happen, it would have by now. SURELY. Still, until they were dismissed, all there was to do was stand around and talk... the standing they were doing quite well, the talking, perhaps not so much.
