She studied the boy, trying to figure him out a little. He would be a tough one to crack, but Hadley preferred not to have him hate her. It's partially why she hadn't really interacted with him until now. Having the Ravenclawest Ravenclaws hate her for being her was one thing, but also having the other Ravenclaw troublemaker also hate her would kinda be the final proverbial straw.

That and she might want his help with a prank or two someday.

"So just here to enjoy the scenery or...?"

It was always incredibly tempting to perch himself on the railing that ran along the length of the bridge, but Daxton did not trust a single person in Hogwarts not to give him a hearty shove as they passed. His reflexes were good enough that he would likely not fall to his death, and he could always keep one arm looped around a post just to make sure, but putting himself in such a vulnerable position was beyond stupid, especially when he was at a disadvantage when it came to retaliating. It was strange, in a way, because Daxton had been known to scramble up onto the roof of the wooden bridge, knowing that few people would try to go up there, but perching on the rail was something he considered to be Far Too Dangerous.

So he stayed where he was, standing and leaning against the post and keeping an eye out for anyone who might approach, secure in the knowledge that nobody could sneak up on him, and that he could notice any incoming curses or hexes with plenty of time to duck. Daxton made sure to keep an eye on Hadley Denaker too, purely because she was there, and at her question he glanced towards her, and gave a single nod. No point denying his name - everyone seemed to know who he was these days.

Even when he looked away again, Daxton could still feel her eyes on him, could see her staring his way right at the very edge of his vision. His wand hand tensed automatically, despite said wand being next to no help whatsoever, and when the next words came, he looked back at Hadley Denaker at once.

The answer to that was simple. Without a moment's hesitation, he nudged his schoolbag open with his foot, showing the contents: a multitude of sweets from both the normal and magical world. Letting it close again, Daxton pulled his notebook from his pocket and flipped it open, taking a moment to look for a particular page. Finding it, he held it up for the Denaker girl to read.

'Business.'

Selling the sweets in his bag, to be specific, though Daxton thought that much was obvious.
