How the tables had turned, that was two people in a row now that had ignored Nina. How did she like them apples? It was QUITE reminiscent of all the times her little flock of male attention would swoop in and ignore his presence - not that having the attention of either Isla or Nemesis was anything in particular to brag about. "Something like that," he mused a bit while pushing his form into a more parallel position with his spoon before looking at the second year more properly. "...but thank you."
There. He had been...nice. Nicer. Happy was just not a feeling he felt in the moment unless one squinted and interpreted relief that way.
His hazel-green eyes briefly fell on Jillian for a moment as she arrived at the table, though she was soon situating herself near that snot of a fifth year and the seventh year quickly turned his gaze back on Nina. Nina who should know better than to bring someone else along for a visit because if she came...he wanted to see her. He would be missing HER and any other person there would be an unwanted interruption and intruder to a reunion. Chances of a friendship would, frankly, plummet out of pure spite. "Naturally,"he nodded gently with a sly sort of smirk curling the corners of his lips. "Maybe I'll even let you paint my nails again."
He had to work hard not to roll his eyes at Nemesis. Perhaps he had been a bit too harsh in thinking Aboli as the little snot. THIS one was the real snot and that pseudo cute little kiss just now elicited an involuntary click of his tongue in irritation.
"Come on," he groaned as he pushed himself up off the bench and nearly grabbed Nina's hand for emphasis. "Let's get this signing over with..." And his eyes flicked towards the third year. "...before she gives me a real reason to be irritated."
Was he irritated right now? Absolutely. But it was a low simmer and like a pesky mosquito buzzing around his ear.
Nodding his head towards the podium first, Eiji turned away from the Slytherin table and began walking over. He had no idea what he was going to write but he definitely wasn't going to 'have fun' doing it.
