The last thing she wanted to do was scare him off or something. She knew what people said about her and she did care whether she didn't want to or not. Part of her wondered how he really felt about her, but she didn't want to ask.

She couldn't help but giggle when he said he didn't mind being on his bad side. "I wouldn't have even been there if it wasn't for Divination, I really hope they never do that again. How rude of them to think we all fly." Maybe next time she would just skip that all together. "Oh, I think it might have been a lucky guess, I'm not that great at Runes." He was complimenting her though about something she actually didn't have much confidence in and that made her felt good. It wasn't about her looks, it had been about school, something she never tried her best at on most days.

A curse breaker, she had never thought about that. Could she really do something like that? "I've never thought of that, I mean I've always assumed I'd just end up being a model or something with my dad's company. Though what I really want to do is design hair accessories and jewelry." Though she couldn't help but now think if she could really do something like that. Giving a curious look she thought for a moment going through people in that movie, "She wasn't in that movie, who is she?"

Summer was a good time to work on things, "Can I read it if you do? I would love to see what you make." If he created a super hero she thought it could be a good one, "Oh, no, I don't have too many plans other than I was picked to participate in the Miss Teen Wizard Pageant. So I have that." Giving her sugar quill another lick she gave a small smile, "I have a pool and stuff, so I'll be swimming a lot if you would want to come over... I mean you can to swim or maybe we could go out for dinner or hangout or something." Did he want to do that, maybe he didn't and she just messed up and put a foot in her mouth.

He raised his eyebrow when Zita claimed her Ancient Runes skills had just been 'luck.' Nope, he wasn't buying it! "Don't be silly," he started shaking his head quickly. "It definitely didn't look like luck to me. Maybe you're just a natural." The head shaking had made his glasses wonky and he hastily moved to adjust them.

She'd never heard of Lara Croft!?

"Oh, she's super cool. She explores ancient ruins and finds rare treasures. But she's really smart because she has to avoid booby traps and she's really strong and really pretty and..." Breathe, Max. He took a breath and grinned sheepishly. Nerd alert much? "Maybe you could combine them? You could find rare treasures and then use them to make jewelry!"

He finally finished his sugar quill while taking a moment to consider her request. Was she really interested in seeing his comic book creation? Or was she just trying to be nice? She certainly seemed genuine enough. "If I come up with anything, I promise I'll let you see," he finally decided. It'd be good to have a second opinion after all, right?

He listened intently when she spoke about her summer, making sure to nod in all the right places just like his older brother had advised. Miss Teen Wizard Pageant? He didn't even know that was a thing. Before he had a chance to wish her luck though... Was she inviting him over? To her house? The tips of his ears burned pinker and suddenly Max felt himself nodding. "Okay. Okay yeah. I'm not a very good swimmer but I do like eating." ... And now he felt like an idiot because what a stupid thing to say. Doh!
