The million galleon question, as ever. Nem didn't answer right away, but looked at the front cover of the book as well. Was it interesting.
"Here and there," they said, after a moment, opening the book up and flipping through some pages. "It's useful. And difficult, so, yes, I suppose that makes it interesting." Really, though, really it was the project itself that Nem's interest was drawn to, which they were making the most of until the moment that got boring as well. It would serve a purpose, so even once they knew it was possible and something they could complete, Nem would see it through to the end in order to move to the next step. They were not exactly willing to delegate.
"You can ask about it, if you want. What I'm working on." Nem was no fool. They knew the kind of person Limpet was, and they knew that dangling the vaguest of information in front of her sparked a kind of curiosity she struggled to ignore. All it took was a little observation in classes, this year and last (and especially the first Defence Against the Dark Arts lesson this term), to know that this business of being considered incessant played on the kid's mind. Helping, see? Nem dog-eared the corner of their page and set the book aside, looked at Limpet again. "Is there anything in particular you want to work on today? Anything from your classes you want to focus on?" Otherwise, they could improvise. Nem was good at that.
