She then slipped the mittens off entirely and passed them over to Nem.
"You were supposed to have these too," was her nonanswer. "But y'know." A cult had invaded the school, deposed their Headmaster, cut off all communication from the castle, attacked her for her one great idea, tortured her favorite professor, turned the rest into cowards, and basically just ruined her fifth (and most important yet) year.
She could feel Nem's intense eyes on her and turned to lock her own baby blues on theirs with no blinking.
"No. Are you?" Grantham's quiet demeanour was noted. Everything was noted - everything noteworthy, at any rate. Nem's eyes flicked to the gloves, and immediately back to Grantham's face, scrutinising her carefully. "You have another pair for yourself, though?" they asked, pulling a hand out of the warm confines of their jacket pocket to take the proffered gloves. Nem gave them the once over, but looked up again at the counterpunch.
For a moment, they allowed a flash of subtle surprise to take over their expression, like it wasn't a question they generally expected to get - and, well, maybe that was the case, maybe it wasn't - before it quickly morphed into a smile, and then a laugh, short-lived but genuine enough.
Nem shook their head. "No. No, probably not." But that was not a rabbit hole Grantham wanted to go down, so, "Nobody is."
