Not false modesty. He actually was very impressive. And the dimples. Stupid face.

"Go ahead and put in the kelp. It hasn't changed consistency much, so I think we're safe. We'll add sea salt instead of table salt at the end." She dropped the stir stick back into the cauldron. "Your ears go pink. What is that?"

Levi would have pointed that her mum sounded like a mum alright--one of the good mums, anyway--but Katherine went on to say something that made him chuckle. "No," He shook his head. It was a nice thing to say, but honesty and transparency were more important. "No, I just work hard, read a lot, and I really don't care much about damaging school property as long as I can get away with it." A modicum of talent played a good part, too, most likely but talent meant very little if it wasn't honed.

And it wasn't like he could get into the healing program without Potions marks that did not exceed the expectations. "But coming from you--" He did as told and carefully opened the first vial and measured it into a tablespoon. In a clockwise motion, Levi emptied it into the cauldron. "--that means a lot. Thank you. You want to stir it in before I add the rest?"

Levi didn't stutter at her question, but did take a few seconds to answer, as he measured the powdered kelp using the tablespoon. "Physiological reaction, has to do with the nervous system." He bit his lower lip. "Commonly known as 'blushing.'"
