But then she stood again, walking over to join the Slytherin with a hint of trepidation. They walked in silence for a while, until they were a decent distance from the fire and the people surrounding it. Then, as he spoke, she turned, wrapping her arms around herself both to calm herself and keep herself warm. After the fire and being so close to Robert, being alone out there was kind of cold. Not that Cayden seemed to notice, as he thanked her, sort of. 'I'm trying to relax, but you have to admit, the track record doesn't help," she said in response. "But you're welcome."
She bit her lip in reflex as he then chose to apologize to her about the beginning of term, not really expecting it. "Um, okay. Apology accepted, I guess. But only really because I know it would be easier on Mari if you didn't make me so on edge." She took a breath, before continuing. "I really like Mari too, which is why she's one of my best friends. And I told you I wasn't going to knowingly be a disappointment to her." It was sketchy there for a while, but she thought things had settled between her and Mari regarding Robert and her. At least, the fact that Mari had told Robert about her being in the Hospital wing, even though it had irritated her because of his lecturing after he'd arrived, said her friend was trying to accept things. And then Cayden brought Robert up, and she looked at him again. "Y'know, Robert's trying not to hate you. He knows that I'm Mari's friend, and because of that, I'd have to be around you too. And whether or not we could be considered friends, I'm always going to panic if I know you still have animosity toward him. Because like how you come with Mari, like a package deal, it sort of works the same way with us." She trailed off as Cayden continued speaking, bringing up the incident. "You're right in regretting it. And it doesn't change that it happened. You really hurt her, and of course if she comes to me like that, I'm going to help her. That's what best friends do. But you're welcome. And thank you for saying that," she said, before glancing back at the fire for a second. She wondered what Robert and Mari were doing, and part of her wanted to get back, if only to ease Robert's nervousness.
He could of made her relax, but their wasnt much need in doing so. They werent going to be stuck together much longer."If your worried that I dont mean it then your wrong. I do mean it." He assured her as he didnt mean to hurt her feelings now. Then he didnt necessarily mind seeing as she had lost her marbles."You did." He agreed with her as she had done it well enough for Mari, which in turn was well enough for him. The whole time she talked cayden was focused on her, not minding anyone else around. He chuckled at Liz's comment as he waited till she had finished.
" First of all you dont have to worry about it any longer.We will always have disagreements seeing as he isnt found of Mari. I dont really care if he hates me or not I just want him to keep his thoughts to himself and not say anything insulting. Other then that we can get along fine seeing as you both are friends. We can both agree that we can put it aside for the time being when all four of us are in the same room. You are right." He agreed with her as she was talking about packaged deals." That is another reason why you shouldnt worry. He really should thank you and Mari. If it wasnt for either one you he wouldnt be sitting over there." This he was already positive." We will both behave for the sake of yourself and Mari. I think we both can do it a few times that is required." He paused for a second as he added," Besides I dont understand his logic behind hating me. Why should he care when he found what he was looking for in you. He should be over it and grateful for you. Thats just my logic. Even if it is strange." That was just him though. Who knew how other people thought.
He Listened to her as she reminded him that it didnt change what happened." I know it doesnt. If I knew now what I knew then..things would be different. I dont have anything worth saying to justify it so their isnt any point in saying anything. I know I hurt her. I know it too well." he didnt like to think about it really. He had pretty much tried his best to zone that day out."But at the same time I am grateful it. It showed me how much I love her. As twisted as it sounds." He could sense she was really starting to get uncomfortable." I hope you arent this way in the future. I wont keep you much longer.I would offer you my jacket, but i dont think he would care for it. It is yours to borrow if you want." He gave her a smile as he was going to finish." Thank you for taking care of her. You dont know what it means to me. Let alone i still dont understand why you defended me that day. I appreciate it. You know that Mari loves you which means you'll be protected. We will both protect you, both of you. Who ever you choose. If you need something you should let us know." he told her as he wanted her to know that they were both their for them. Even if she did choose Robert. She was right about the packaged deal." If you like you can go back to him. Just hoping we could be friends sometime down the future."
