To be honest, Noelle didn't know if Declan really slept or not. But seeing as he was out now, and she'd seen him before out, sneaking back into his CR while she was on patrols... she didn't think he'd slept much.

She glanced at his hands again before standing straight, her hand still on the telescope. "Look with your hands but touch with your eyes?" She asked, tilting her head. She had never heard of that before. She grinned figuring out what it meant. "So that means you want to touch something? But you cant?" She looked at the telescope as he pocketed his hands. "I think the telescope is in limits to touch though." She said, giving him a funny grin.

Declan was right about that of course. She wasn't one to stay still for too long. Even studying. That paint on the wall thing did sound fun though. She might have to try that this summer.

Now he was asking about defensive training. That wasn't surprising. Noelle chewed her lip and bent to look back through the telescope. "So... once upon a time.. about three years ago.. a young girl and a young boy were taken from Knockturn Alley. " She started.. her voice even... unnaturally even as if she was trying to keep any emotion out of it. "They were sold and kept in a dungeon for six months, given only one meal a day, and couldn't leave the cell they were in. Not even to use the bathroom. The ministry came to save them. They were cleaned off and taken care of before taken back to school." She wasn't even looking through the telescope but she was still bent in front of it. "The girl had issues. Most things scared her now.... which was very different from how she was usually. Until one day... a nice professor pulled her into his training room and showed her a few moves. That practice turned into other practices and soon that girl didn't feel as scared because she was beginning to believe she could defend herself. To protect herself." Her cheeks were flushed because she hated talking about it...but ... "So those practices became a hobby." Noelle stated, standing up from the telescope and toying with it.

"It helps."

Taking a deep breath, she let it out and shook off her nerves. "So um... yeah. Where would I go??" Noelle said, changing the subject. "Id go to this little cove that my family used to go to when I was little. It was a private cove and no one but us were on it. Plus, I'm very much a sun person/" That also had to do with the dungeon days, because she didn't know if it were morning or night during that time. "What about you?" She asked before looking at him a little apprehensively.
