The 'good to see you' just resulted in a small smile from the Ravenclaw, before he glanced at his watch again just as Professor Kazmi began the lesson. Which seemed moot then, so he let his arm flop back down by his side. Initially with the question... he had to fight to keep his eyebrows level, because there was nothing he could think of to say. Probably because it was such a struggle for him. While everyone else, Margaret and the rest of the people who played for U17 or just enjoyed it, made it look so effortless.

But then a reprieve was offered in the way of asking why others would like it, and Evan was incredibly grateful for the Professor's forethought on having an alternative question handy. Bless him. Hearing a few other answers, freedom having been his primary expectation for enjoyment, Evan raised his hand to offer another suggestion. "How effortless it can feel for some." If that was taken insultingly, he certainly hadn't meant it. Some seemed to have a natural talent, and Flying didn't seem to take nearly as much fact memorization or interpretation like History of Magic or Ancient Runes. Flying was more emotional, it seemed.

Maybe that's why he was bad at it. And maybe that's why there was the... slightest twinge of bitter to his words. Oops.
