He scraped the potatoes off his forehead and flicked them onto the table, then grabbed for a napkin and wiped the rest off his forehead. His hair, however, still had a bit in it... oh well.
"I don't think it's a good idea," he said quietly. "But Miss Healer Intern Lady Trelawney knows about it... and so does the Headmistress... so I didn't think it was that big of a deal."
Obediently, he picked up the glass and took a sip of it. No need to get more potato flung at him... He couldn't even taste anything odd in the water. Was it just his sense of taste going, or was the potion really so tasteless? Not that he minded.
"Celandine Toussaint is fun, though... maybe a little too fun when she's had too much sugar, but still fun..."
"No reason." Nicholai shrugged and speared an apple with his knife. With one hand still around Kayla he manouvered the knife to cut the apple into tiny even slithers.
"If you can't trust your friends; who can you trust?" He paused and speared an apple slither with the knife and neatly brought it to his mouth. He shot a genuine smile at Kayla before eating the apple and turned his eyes back to Raiden at mention of Cela.
"I'm hoping she will grow out of that." Nicholai commented, idly wondering if Celandine ever would calm down.

She had no idea what Raiden was talking about but from the look on his face it was obviously not something he wanted everyone to know about. Kayla gave him a smile, "It's nice to see you again Raiden. Looking forward to the summer break?" she asked him cheerfully.
"Nicholai!" Kayla looked at him in shock. "What did the poor kid do to deserve that?" she put her hand up to her mouth to cover the laugh that was about to burst out of her mouth.
"And where is your sister by the way? It would be nice to talk to her before we have to leave" Kayla looked over to the Ravenclaw table but couldn't see the little blonde anywhere.
Nicholai speared another piece of apple and offered it to Kayla along with another smile.
"Oh she's... around." Nico shrugged; it was true enough, Cela wasn't all
that far away. Almost absently, Nicholai pressed his cheek against Kayla's for a brief moment before shifting into a more comfortable position with his arm still around her.
