"That's weird..." Like Hogwarts but dark. Dark Hogwarts. The corner's of Declan's fleshy lips curled upwards. "Like an alternate Hogwarts. Have you read much Muggle fiction?" Declan asked. "Science fiction? They write about things such alternate universes and alternate dimensions. I wonder how much truth there is behind that."

In his selfishness Declan noticed only too late Etta's discomfort. He didn't add any further comments and allowed the silence to fill the spaces around them. He shuffled his feet, eyes on the ground as he spoke next: "I'm sorry. You had such a horrible experience and I keep making you relive it."
Um. "What if I gave you a nickname? Dec? It's short and simple or... um.... Eclair! Like the pastry? I think I like that." Etta rambled on, wondering if he liked that? She eyed him curiously, waiting to see how he'd react to that nickname. Eclair. It had a nice ring to it, didn't it?

Weird? Yeah, to say the least. "Mhm. I mean, this castle looked so terrifying." The girl paused when he mentioned something about science fiction? She frowned, not really understanding what that meant. Like...? Confusion. "No I haven't.. but can you suggest a read?" Because now that he mentioned something that she'd never heard of, it made her curious.

Aw. Etta's eyes softened when he apologised. Even though talking about it hurt, she didn't him to feel about about it? Not his fault at all. She nudged him playfully, looking up at him with a smile. "It's fine. Don't worry about it."
