She nodded though when he agreed about the ice sculptures, as she ran her fingers over the smooth carvings, despite knowing the cold of it. She wanted to feel it, touch it. "Wouldn't it be cool to have a class in ice sculpting?" She was pretty sure Hattie would be all over that class, assuming she wasn't with Luca which it seemed like she was ninety percent of the time these days. So much for heartbreak. Honestly, sometimes she didn't understand her best friend.
Turning around from feeling the ice sculpture, she was about to answer about how things were going, when her heart sank at the mention of the ten point loss. Averting her eyes from him, she bit her lower lip as she sat down at the other end of the couch despite wanting to be closer. "Uh, that's kind of why I was hoping to run into you. The points loss was my fault." Yea, he probably wasn't going to want to talk to her again. Wringing her hands together nervously, she glanced up to meet his gaze finally. "I don't know what came over me, but I think maybe I wanted to see who our new house head was ... and it just had to happen before the headmistress gave her speech. And well, next thing I knew, instead of finding out who our new house head was, I was in front of the Healer. And I basically told him he smelled good. And I don't even know what amortentia smells like, but ......" she trailed off, pulling her knees up to her face to hide it. Skylar Diggory, official idiot of 2092-2093.
Brent was really happy to see Skylar, but being a guy, he decided to play it a little bit cool. He still didn't know how she felt about him, and he didn't want to dive on in and make a fool out of himself. She was at least hanging out with him, which had to be a good thing. He looked back over toward the ice sculptures and nodded.
"Yeah, it would. I'm actually pretty excited to see them," he said. He had always liked the extreme winter, and even though he wouldn't want to live in a super cold place, he was still pretty interested in that kind of thing.
He saw a cool one he really like, and he almost gave his trademark, 'Duuuude' about it, but he was trying to remember that Skylar was no dude. He was still looking at the ice sculptures, when he heard her say she had been wanting to talk about that ten point loss. Turning around, he looked at her and nodded.
"Yeah? Okay, well you have my attention," he said. Really, she did. Maybe she had the inside scoop on something cool and exciting that had gone down!
As she told her story, he was pretty sure his facial expression changed three or four different times.
"Whooooa. That sounds pretty cool! I mean, I hate that you lost the points and all, but everybody's got to have a little fun every now and then," he said. Even
he had been seeking out an opportunity to do at least one really wild and exciting thing during his time here.
"So wait. Does this mean you think the Healer's hot?"
