Elizabeth nodded at Lyra's response to her comment about NEWTs, even though she knew the Huffie couldn't see her movement with her eyes closed. It was just something she couldn't not do. "I'm with you there," she said, before she glanced back up at Robert as he answered the question she had asked him about his thoughts.
"I'm sure Bartholemew Henry didn't have any sinister reasons behind whatever he did last term," she said, completely sincerely. She had no reason to think the squid was out to hurt them. Or at least she had never heard of him hurting the students. "Maybe he was just tired of all the people flying over his lake, and you just happened to be the unfortunate one to be in the wrong place at the wrong time," she murmured, a faint smile creeping onto her face when he kissed her cheek. It wasn't something she was still quite used to, but she was finding she liked little things like that.
But then the groundskeeper was speaking again, and her attention went back to him, completely missing the expression on Lyra's face. "Of course, Mr. Masterson," she said, completely honest and intending to listen to him. In a way, she actually felt validated, like her theory she had had about the squid responding to people being polite was being confirmed. Of course, she hadn't the faintest idea what a giant squid would consider a compliment, but she figured she could come up with something. And then she heard the squeal from Lyra, and her earnest contemplation of squid compliments was temporarily pushed to the back of her mind as she turned to look at the Huffie again, slightly confused. But, of course, Lyra had apparently decided to humor the groundskeeper, and gone to the edge of the cliff to wait for the squid. I guess finding out what that was about will have to wait, she thought, glancing at Robert once more before going back to thinking of possible compliments.
