Uhhhhhhh... what? Leave???
For a moment, Abra sat, slightly wide-eyed, wondering if he was actually sort of actually being reprimanded for being uncomfortable with the whole drinks thing. Rationally, he knew that wasn't the tone of what Kennedy was saying, but the irrational side of his brain was an awful lot louder. And now... well, now he didn't know what to do.
Which meant he started to fret, which led to anxiety, which meant a lot of squirming and fidgeting and feeling a little bit like his heart was trying to escape his chest. Others were leaving, and he was apparently free to go with them, but wasn't it likely that that would ultimately get him into trouble, especially if the Headmaster caught wind of it? But then, was it also possible he'd get into trouble for turning a blind eye to the beverages in the lesson? Abra didn't know. He didn't have a clue what to do.
But, in the end, doing nothing was a whole lot easier than actively choosing to do something, which was why Abra kept his seat, and didn't follow the others away from the lesson area. He still felt anxious, and like something bad was going to happen very soon, but he stayed. All the fretting, however, took him far, far away from the state of mind required for giving intelligible answers in the lesson. Eclipses? The very little he already knew about them - that it had something to do with how the earth, sun, and moon were aligned - had already been said anyway, so Abra did what he fully believed was the smart thing to do, and kept quiet. Actually, his anxiety was starting to make him feel more than a little bit nauseous.
