He was close and his voice, his voice sent goosebumps up her arm and her heart stepped up a bit with joy that he was wanting her to stay and ache for him and feelings that she couldn't express and had to keep away for good. All she wanted to do was stay and rest because her head was hurting and she wanted to spend time with him, but she knew that was a bad idea and she already could feel the tears fighting their way up towards her eyes. No, she needed to leave and head to the dorm where she knew she could keep away from all her feelings.

How could she not smile though with his words about the elves, "Maybe for a moment, but then I do need to get back." Her voice barely a whisper because she was afraid it would fail her at any moment. When he looked at her and moved closer she couldn't help but search his face, did he really want her to stay? Could things just go back to the way they were with them? She knew the answer and frowned about to get up when the bang hit and she felt like she jumped out of her skin.

Her hand did head to her head with the noises and she squinted with the pain. She'd have to go see the healer even if she didn't want to, she could feel it at this point. When she lifted her eyes and saw Curtis she couldn't help but laugh, it was a weird time to start laughing, but the scene in front of her was so comical she couldn't help it.

"Hi Curtis" she gave a small wave before thinking of something, "Ewan you don't have to worry about me. Curtis can walk with me to the healer and you can stay here and study. He's trustworthy" and her way out of this without causing a fight between her former best friend and herself.
