But she surprised him again when she sat down on the floor near his chair and he frowned in confusion when she mentioned him getting hurt during the task but then his expression changed to understanding. He knew about his wounded elbow but didn't want anyone to think he was a whiner , like that stupid old man dummy he had to safe.
He held up his arm, showing her his scraped elbow but he wasn't looking at her anymore. The fire was far more interesting.
As she mentioned an event, the first thing Mason wanted to do was to refuse it. He wasn't in the mood for a party and definitely not in the mood to be in a room with others whispering about him for being stupid enough that he couldn't even finish the first and easiest task. "I don't know if i'm in the mood...." he said quietly.
As she settled in the floor and looked up at his elbow she frowned slightly. Then took her wand from its holster. "
May I? It's the only healing spell I can do... " Meaning she wouldn't do it if he didn't want her to. But she didn't like that it hurt him.
"
Well I need someone there to help me in case I get jumped by a bunch of angry Americans." And yeah she figured they were ALL American. How the heck was she supposed to know who was from Canada and who wasn't?
Oh right. She had no way of knowing that unless they told her...
"
Well I understand, but if I have to go... I'd rather go with you. I'd feel safest. " And she really enjoyed his company. He was, without warning, quickly becoming one of her good friends.
How odd.
But then another thought struck her...
"
Or we can both skip it. And hang out here. I quite like the library. " She did, too. And well... not having to be around a bunch of people she didn't like was sounding better and better, really...
