It was nice to see Evan take his advice since he had always noticed that his friend took the side of black and white most of the time. Yellow. “Good choice. Maybe some orange to go along with that? Or red. Sort of gives the impression that Mr. Butterfly is fiery.” Jude watched Evan colouring for a bit, making all the effort in the world to not let his gaze wander to Evan’s face. However, even zoning in the yellow colour filling the sketch was not enough. Realising this, Jude hastily picked up his pen in order to focus his attention elsewhere. There would be no more sneaking looks of admiration on his part at Evan; he’d try his best to leave him alone. His resolve almost made him let out a sob but Jude grit his teeth together to prevent that. He needed to be normal; to not let Evan see that he felt like fading away right here and now. “I borrowed your habits for this year. I hope that’s okay.” That Hufflepuff let his lips twitch upwards. “Promise I’ll return it as soon as I write my last exam.” Then he shook his head. “No. At least not as yet. I know for sure that I won’t be Rea and start being mean to everyone just because of the pressure.”
It seemed, to Jude at least, that his year was a huge batch given the fact that he had quite a few cousins and friends also writing OWLs. “Just the thing I’d expect you to be doing for her. She’s lucky to have you.” Jude still refused to meet Evan’s eyes, and it was only for his own sanity because as much as he wanted to disappear in Evan’s presence, it was also Evan’s presence that brought him comfort as it always had. “You should take the break. You’ll be back at it next year.” Then the Ravenclaw will be off into the world; Jude found himself entertaining the thought that Evan will forget about him during that time. At least Jude would still have Davet’s letters to keep him going. He began rereading the letter, automatically smiling as he read the words his Muggle friend had written. These letters had become something he really looked forward to receiving. “Mhmm. To Davet. He’s told me about the next play he’s auditioning for.” Jude pushed his hair back from his cheek and began to pen his reply. Which reminded him... "Oh yes. Ko and Stas are finally getting married this December. You're invited. Mom, dad and Ko says so." Don't worry, Evan. He wasn't asking you as a date, just as a friend.
"I think I actually owe Ned a whole box of treats. Sometimes Pads seems like Lisa in cat form." He said, amused as the younger cat did an ungraceful flip while trying to tease the Hufflepuff's companion. Good news was this always kept her more docule when it came to being in his dorm room - she'd hardly shredded anything in the entire time he'd had her.
Red, orange and yellows seems a good color palette. It was like flame, but also looked like autumn. Evan was usually pretty partial to the colder months, and the colors of autumn were always pretty nice, so he found himself taking Jude's advice in this regard as well while he traded his yellow pencil for some orange.
"Good idea. It'll look good." And it should compliment Pads coloring too if he decided to further add to the sketch of her as well.
"Just don't burn yourself out. I think even the Professor's were worried about me last term." He remarked, shaking his head a bit remembering the looks Professor Hernandez had given him during the study sessions. Extra time he'd been quite grateful for the man giving. He laughed at the tease, looking up from his drawing to smile at his friend.
"Perfect, just in time for my NEWTs." Such a wild thought they were so close. But he was not focusing on this.
"Was Reagan mean to people because of the pressure?" Evan rather assumed that was behavior he was ... er... lucky enough to be on the receiving end of, not that others were as well.
"We'll see if she's still saying that come mid-term." He'd see if they'd all say that. Because in truth, Evan had plenty of his left over study guides from his previous term that he'd handed out that he'd be happy to give to Maya AND the others. He wouldn't go as crazy on it as he did prior, but he could at least offer it. He'd try to refrain from making any further practice questions or anything though. He WAS supposed to be spending some time this term relaxing. He just nodded again at the reminder for next year, choosing to focus on Jude's next comment instead. Writing to Davet then? He supposed their conversation over the summer than had not proved a problem for Jude and his boyfriend. Evan was glad of that at least.
"How's that going?" Jude and Davet, he meant. Though he supposed the auditions for the next role too.
"Will his play be showing when you're out for break or will you have to miss it?"
Oh? Koen and his girlfriend were tying the knot?
"That's awesome! I'll write my parents and Noah and make sure they're all fine with my absence." He didn't think it would be a problem. but he did still have to check with them.
"Are you excited?"[/color]
