Declan probably would have called her beautiful, though. Possibly, he already had, many times in the past. Levi had distinct memories of Declan cooing at Charlotte, actually, as though the tarantula was a human baby. "She is quite elegant, I agree." Elegant was the best he could do. Oops. He allowed Noelle to do the usual baby talk and to take hold of the pet. Levi watched them both with a slight smile on his face. "She is Declan's. We've had her for... a few years now." Sometimes it felt like she'd been around forever though Levi knew better. Not exactly how much, but.
He remembered Noelle probably had no idea who Declan was, so he amended by saying, "Oh, Declan is my brother, he's a year older." He also had a younger sister, but that was neither here nor there. Levi felt like saying Althea's name would summon her at once. He did not have the energy to deal with her at the moment. He pocketed his hands, watched her with some curiosity. "Shouldn't you be doing like, rounds, or something?" Or whatever it was prefects were supposed to do, at any rate.
Everything had beauty in her opinion. That was her Hufflepuff mother's influence on her. Even the ugliest animal had beauty. Charlotte being a good example. She wasn't your usual specimen. Beady eyes, hairy body, long legs, and big rump. Plus she probably had fangs that she wasn't showing. But Noelle thought she was beautiful nonetheless.
"
Declan?" She had started to ask while petting Charlotte, who was in her palm. But Levi was already answering. Oh his brother! Okay, she hadn't known that he had a brother. "
Oh yeah? Does he go here?" Noelle knew a few people... maybe he knew them? "
Are you spider sitting today?" She asked trying to figure out why he had his brother's spider.
Noelle raised her brows at his question if she was supposed to be doing rounds. "
Um... no? We have designated times. I don't do patrols or rounds all day everyday." She said to him, wondering if he just wanted his spider back or well.... his brother's spider back. She'd be happy to give Charlotte back. "
Are you supposed to be anywhere?" Noelle countered, a little amused expression playing on her lips.
