With all the years she had known him (since he was a tiny baby!), she liked to think that she knew him incredibly well! How much more quiet he seemed to be recently, the way he slipped away more often to be on his own. She noticed.. she had noticed a lot of things. Bry has simply chosen not to mention it assuming that when Ary was ready to talk, he would. He always did.

Ahem! Yes, she was very much her mama's daughter in her love of iced coffee that seemed to have REALLY picked up several notches over the summer. But, she also was a lover of food. Chicken was yummy. "I guess not but this is really putting a damper on a lovely day.." Homework was always getting in the way like that. Sorry not sorry. It's not her fault that he's good at keeping her in line! So did she! Did he not know that she looked after him as well? Perhaps not in the same ways but.. she did. "Yup, we'll finish that one in no time at all." Their CoMC assignments never took them much time to complete. Bryony blinked at Ary. "Drake? Why?.. I can help you with that.." Had he forgotten that SHE was named after a plant too? Just because she preferred creatures didn't mean she didn't know Herbology.

That knee bouncing against hers, Bry noticed. Normally it was her that was nonstop moving about unable to sit still. "The yoga or the quiet meditation exercises?" Bryony asked quietly, tilting her head to the side as she eyed him questioningly.."Something the matters, Ary? You seem kinda off today.." He seemed not himself for awhile but she wasn't going to say that right now.

It had been foolish on Ary’s part to assume that Bry hadn’t noticed his recent mood. That girl noticed everything when it came to him. He couldn’t say that he was grateful for this trait of hers this time around but it was what it was. As the months progressed, he had been toying around even more of the idea of letting her know what had been bothering him for a year now but he was afraid of her reactions. Moreso, he was afraid of hurting her.

In his opinion, the iced coffee just added to Bry’s energetic personality. One might have thought that Ary would have been unable to handle that but they were wrong. “It’s gonna put a damper on our evenings if we procrastinate,’’ he said reasonably. Yes, Ary knew she took care of him too, mainly in the form of not having extra loud tantrums that would make him go deaf. And no… he hadn’t forgotten that key fact about Bry. You know how tantrums were just mentioned? Aryan actually knew one was coming if he did not tread lightly. He stuck his gaze on his sandwich, plucking at bit of lettuce. “You can. It's just that Drake’s been teaching me a lot about Herbology.” He didn’t dare mention that Herbology was one of the things the two continuously bonded over. “Herbology’s Drake’s strongest subject, did you know? He’s brilliant at it.” Duck’s intelligence when it came to the subject always impressed him.

“Whatever it was.” But it came to him in that moment. It had something to do with focusing on an object while taking slow, deep breaths. Ary didn’t think he could focus on an object so he turned his attention to his breathing. Deep breath in, hold, breathe out. Repeat, repeat, repeat. And just like that, he felt a tad better, a tad calm. “Just processing some thoughts that have been confusing to me.” Ary was going to be as honest as he could. But was he ready to say those thoughts out loud to Bry?
