She chuckled at his answer, feeling herself feel less nervous all of a sudden because Ace was just being her Ace. “Yes, very well done, Master Salander,” she smiled doing her best job trying to impersonate a Professor, trying to make this light-hearted as much as possible. It wasn’t what the answer that she had been expecting or looking for but perhaps she hadn’t been so clear about it. Still it had been an answer. A kind of comical answer if you asked her.

“Buuuut what else are we….?” she began again. And don’t you dare say alive, Tenacius Astor Salander, she thought with a smile gracing her lips. She was fairly certain that he felt the same way about her but then again…. Perhaps she was wrong and reading waaaay too much into it? Maybe he was seeing someone else? Another Prefect? Hah. Her heart dropped. But that kiss… She still thought of that. It was more than friends…. It wasn’t a la bise, a kiss on both cheeks, which was a form of greeting that she had experienced at Beaxubatons. It had been something entirely different.

She bit her lip and then continued. “You.. Me… Whatever is happening between us…. ” she began and then added, “Apart from both of us having a mutual dislike for gravity...” She took a strand of already tucked curly hair from behind her ear and then retucked it in. Oh yes. She was nervous. Like really nervous now. Why did everything always get harder when she just wanted to….?!?! UGH.

"What I mean to say is… I don’t know why its so hard to say…” She was scared that this would go horribly wrong for some reason.. She really cared for him and that scared her even more. Vi hd never felt like this about anyone before… Vi sucked it up and delivered the punch line. “Are we just friends or… are we something more?” Good friends don’t kiss like that, right? She didn’t think so because she certainly hadn’t kissed any of her other close friends. Tory… Jace…. None of them. Only the Gryffindor in front of her. A blush creeped onto her cheeks as another comment slipped her lips, “That kiss had certainly felt like something more but I don't want to assume…” Oh good Merlin. She was going to start rambling any minute. She stopped herself from doing so by taking a deep breath.

Okay. Ball back in Salander’s court.
