Both he was used to, as she was surely used to how he sat back in his chair and stared at her in a very uncaring manner. Though she would know that he did in fact care, when it came to her. "You'd do no sure thing. Not to me. Our brothers, yes.. but not me." How he was so sure of this was unknown but he said it completely matter of factually and without looking away from her. "Plus I was on time. You were the one that was early." So she really couldn't be all that upset with him for showing up when he was meant to.

With a small incline of his head, he wrapped his hands around the glass and slid it a little closer to himself. There was no need to say it out loud for she should already know that he felt the same. "Nah.. I'm going back to the house. They're expecting me to since the others are." Whether or not it was his home now was irrelevant. It didn't really feel that way to him and maybe that was his own doing but that wasn't anything he was about to be bringing up right now. "What about you?" Cause if she was staying at Hogwarts.. he would too.

Sloane considered his words for a moment, her hands wrapped around her butterbeer, unsure if she really wanted to burst his bubble or not. They’d always had a close relationship and of course, they’d been through a lot, but he clearly didn’t understand who he was talking to. Or maybe he just didn’t care. It was most likely the latter. “I mean, if you actually turned up really late? Sure, I’d leave,” she answered, as if this proved her point. “You were just on time, which I guess does count but if we’re being honest, being early is being on time and being on time is late. So technically, you were late.” A small smile appeared on her face now as she looked at him, the picture of innocence.

She already knew what she was going to do, of course, but listening to him say he was going to go back to the house hurt her little heart in a way she couldn’t quite articulate. “Oh. That’s cool. Will you be doing anything fun?” she asked, almost hoping that he was going to do something super fun and interesting, just like she was going to. Having spent every Christmas together since ever, Sloane couldn’t help but look down at her butterbeer and turn her attention to the small, water droplets that clung to the outside of it. She wasn’t exactly excited to go skiing in the alps, which might be surprising to some people but to her, it just wasn’t straight forward.

After taking a moment to fight down the lump in her throat, she somehow managed to find some words to answer his question. “I…uh…think Faith and Zoryn have something planned. Something about going skiing.” Her words clearly lacked the right amount of enthusiasm that you’d expect from someone who’d never so much as had a weekend away let alone a holiday away in a different country before. Of course, they’d asked her if she’d wanted to go and she could have said no…but truthfully, she didn’t want to say no. She’d wanted to go and it was possibly this decision that was eating at her slightly as she sat there opposite her brother.
