Unless, she was making jokes to get through it. Try to diffuse any pain she was feeling and this was just..... a moment when she'd let herself out. But that he also didn't understand and so, wasn't going to comment on.

First Emm, now Ash. Merlin, when had girls become so confusing?

"Yeah, I guess," he said, trying to keep his voice as soft as he could, "It's been a while, but it's good to see you again." He sat down on the floor and crossed his legs, almost as if he was getting ready for a discussion. Or to stay here a bit longer. She wasn't getting rid of him just yet.

"So, what's wrong? Why are you sitting here?"
"Oh." Ash was now the confused one. Didn't he hate her? Wasn't he supposed to hate her? "I didn't know that." That it was 'good to see her' or whatever. "My fault, I guess, not yours." Even if she still didn't believe him and thought this was some prank set by Emmerson. It was okay. She knew what a prank was. They didn't hurt that bad anymore.

And now he was sitting down... he was a really good actor, did he know? Pretending to be her friend. He was good at it. Maybe that's why he got picked for the prank.

Well, too bad. She was going to get this prank over with, make it anticlimactic, make him feel guilty, and then calmly leave so that she could go cry.

"So um... I was walking past this mirror, and then I got stuck. And I didn't want to look at it, but I also had to, so I just looked at it with my eyes closed. As a loophole. Um... and I kinda hoped that someone who liked me was gonna come and help, but you're okay too I guess. You can't hate me that much, since we've only met a couple times. Actually, you could, as evidenced by James and Cambridge, but I'm getting out of here whether this is a prank or not." Ash was going to get out of this predicament whether he was spying for Cambridge or not. She was sick of people trying to mess with her all the time. She rested her head back against the wall. She wasn't going to cry during a prank. Crying was strictly for when she was alone. Usually.
