Dusting off the book was expected, but hugging it got another laugh, once again not at her though. The Hufflepuff clearly just liked reading apparently, otherwise that moment most likely wouldn't have occurred in Kayne's personal opinion. But to each their own, he wasn't gonna judge...too much...

That's when she dropped the opposite bomb; making the situation rather awkward. It was very clear that Kayne was friends with Ash, but now Mamie dropped the they aren't friends. However, always one to compromise and make light of situations like these, he simply said "Well maybe I can fix that then. You two seem like you'd get along just nicely." There was some sarcasm in that last part, but honestly, who cares? Opposing personalities can be nice in friendships a majority of the time, because that also most likely meant they had strengths that the other person lacked.

Pulling out a mirror to check out his hair just to make sure it wasn't looking weird, Kayne also replied to Mamie's latter comment "Well, in all honesty, I'm the best at everything I do. And I'm just not good at Quidditch, so therefore since I'm not the best at it, by default I dislike it. Now soccer on the other hand, well I can play that all day long." It wasn't that Mordrake disliked sports as a whole, he just disliked Quidditch because flying was so confusing to him. Flying is one of the key aspects to it, so he could just never get the hang of it.
If she heard anybody claiming she liked reading, Mamie would probably have serious words with them. She was still in denial, of course, that she liked reading one very specific topic of book and no other types. Quidditch books only, and only the exciting ones...whatever that meant. Still, she understood that other people liked reading and therefore she was prone to care for their things, like borrowed books, much more than her own.

Plus, Kinsay was just nice. She deserved to have her book returned in the same condition it was borrowed in.

She shrugged at Kayne's suggestion that he could somehow fix their friendship. She'd tried that. Ash hadn't. "You're welcome to try," she said with a sigh, running her finger absently along the cover of the book. It would be nice to be friends with Ashley again.

She raised an eyebrow at the boy's mirror...and then raised the other one at his comment. Really? The best at everything? Somebody had too much self esteem. His logic...didn't make sense, either. Clearly if he wasn't the best at Quidditch, he wasn't the best at everything. But Mamie didn't want to start an argument with Ash's new friend. "Well, you're not the best at football, either," she said quietly. Blake was the best at football. "You shouldn't have to be the best at something to enjoy doing it," she added. She certainly wasn't.
