Levi eyed her, speculatively, watched her stir quickly hardening concoction and toyed with the idea of offering to stir for her before deciding against it; Katy didn't strike him as someone who would sugarcoat anything. If she needed his help, she'd likely ask for it. Right? "Yes, but hard work does have a way of feeling less like work when you actually enjoy what you're doing, I think."

Indiscreet was a peculiar way of describing things and Levi did not attempt to hide his curiosity. He raised one of his eyebrows and shifted his body sideways to look at her. "An admirable goal," he said. "This castle is full people who love handing out their unsolicited opinions. That ought to help." Or make it worse. "It's an honest reaction, though--blushing."

The potion had become so viscous that Katy's stirring stick stuck fast in place, and any attempts to tug it further would only break it. She eased it free of the potion and set it on the desk. It was done. All it needed now was packaging and a wick to ignite, and they could have their show.

"Encourage away. It's nice to be allowed to be myself when everyone always wants me to be... someone else. Y'know... politer, nicer, sweeter, taller. I've been told that boys do not like girls like me, but I suspect that since I don't like every boy, it's unlikely they all have the same requirements." And how did they get on this terrifyingly awkward subject? Katy rubbed at her cheeks before turning the heat down and removing the cauldron.

She could feel his eyes on her, but Katy focused intently on the potion. It needed to cool a little before she started shaping it with her hands. "I believe I like you more than I should. I'm working on it, but in the meantime, I'll occasionally turn into a human tomato. Indiscreet, y'see?"
