SPOILER!!: No way, she's spoiled enough without me being nice

At least he'd stopped laughing, that much she could handle. It wasn't funny--none of it was and not for the life of her could she see why he might have been laughing. Finally she raised her sandwich again, ready to make a second attempt but his words cut her off. She shook her head. "I told them everything. The problem was telling them too much apparently." Growing up, she'd always been that kid that overshared but it served her well when it came to making certain people stay away from her.

Now...now she'd pushed away the people she was meant to be impressing and it made no sense at all. "Why is it so hard to believe that people can separate their lives indiscriminately?" It was a question she wondered more and more about. People told her she wouldn't see the world in black or white for the rest of her life, that she'd eventually start seeing shades of grey but it was yet to be proven. Lex did not blend things--Rhydian of all people would know that. Unfortunately the Examiners would not.

Somewhere deep down she also knew he was right about the setback. She was aware the world didn't always work the way you wanted it to but it didn't make it hurt any less. At current, she could think of a handful of things she would have preferred going wrong instead of her YATI training.

"Finding I have cavities would have been a far more acceptable setback." She muttered, willing to interject her own bit of cynical humour into the situation. She meant it though. ANYTHING would have been better than this setback.

The faintest of smiles appeared at his next words, both because she would be loathed to train with fresh meat and because he was offering to help her fudge her next examine. "Thanks. I appreciate that, I really do." Pretending she cared was gonna be hard. Having an instructor might help.

While he could stop his laughing, he couldn't keep the grin off his face as he held up his hands, and sandwich, defensively. "Dully noted." Lowering his sandwich, Rhydian gave her a quizzical look. "Did you tell them that?" Because right there, he didn't see a single reason that she should have failed the assessment. If anything, she should have passed with flying colors. Keeping feelings out of the equation was often as important as knowledge of the law. Feelings made people do things. Made them step out of black and white and into grey. It was why Rhydian only saw grey. But he was also good at hiding it. Perhaps that was why he had passed...and Lex hadn't. Of course, it was hard not to laugh again when she said things about the examiner like that. He tried to hide it in taking a bite of his sandwich, but his eyes danced with mirth. Someone had to tell those people who had their noses in books for too long, what was actually going on in the world. That sigh though, it was almost as disheartening as the look she had given him when she had told him about not making Auror. He set his sandwich on his knee. "Lex, you'll pass. This is a small set-back, and those destined for great things often have the hardest pitfalls before they get there." Or something like that. It sounded nice. "And anyways, I won't let them fail you again. I will be your instructor in bullcrap." He knew it well. The ways of reserving bluntness. It was, after all, different than tact. "And I'll train with you, as always. No sense in dulling your skills with fresh blood." Training with new YATI would likely only make her more cynical and likely to blow a hole in the examination room wall. At least he'd stopped laughing, that much she could handle.
