She wasn't one to give up, or at least it took a lot to get her to. And he was nowhere near that point. "In all honesty," she said after he'd spoken, intentionally mirroring his words, "I can't help it if I find your precious dress code just the tiniest bit boring and unoriginal." Even if it was technically Hogwarts', not Dominic's. He was still the only one to protest her shoes. She laughed at his consternation over her argument, though. "Apparently not. Or at least, not in the same way as to you. You must be special," she said, a hint of sarcasm in her voice. People did notice her shoes, but usually it was to compliment them, or admire them. Not whine about how they weren't boring black mary janes. And then she hit a nerve. or at least it looked that way. "I never said you were," she pointed out, her figned innocent tone marred by the urge to laugh again. "And if we all thought about breathing, we'd be dead. Because that would infer we thought about not breathing. But we aren't talking about involuntary and necessary actions for living. We're talking about actions related to personality. And that is almost inextricably connected to psychology." So there. She would have stuck her tongue out or something to emphasize the point, but she had the feeling he would see that as juvenile and grounds for her to be considered insubordinate or something. Even though in esence, as far as she was concerned when it came to Mr. Head Boy, she was insubordinate. She just didn't want him to acknowledge it.

She rolled her eyes as he continued to only vaguely answer her suspicions. "Just browsing in this particular section of the library," she pointed out, knowing he wasn't about to elaborate but unable to stop poking at him. It was just too fun. "Ah, but if study sessions are involved, there would be other people with you. You wouldn't be standing here in the stacks annoying me about shoes." He was evading. No way she couldn't latch onto that to annoy him further. But then he actually listened to her own response as to why she was there, and she raised an eyebrow as he apologized. "Dominic Denton is apologizing? Just because I said I was bored? Okay, I know it isn't April Fool's Day, so something else must be going on. And here I am without a camera," she mused, not even caring what reason he had for the apology. It was just so . . . not Mr. High-and-Mighty Head Boy, and it kind of piqued her interest, in some sort of anthropological way. Like he was something to study, as if she wanted to think that much about what made him tick. Only to the extent of needling him.

If this girl didn't give him an aneurism, then Dominic was fairly certain he could survive anything. How dare her!! Mirroring his words, using his 'in all honesty'. Of course he didn't own the phrase, but it was just the fact that he just used it and it seemed to the seventh year like she was mocking him. His dress code? What!? It wasn't HIS - it was HOGWARTS' and he was just ENFORCING it. Why couldn't she see that? "First of all, it's not my dress code and secondly, I don't make the rules. I just enforce them. So really, don't be blaming me that you find them boring; you're here to learn, not impress." Although she was certainly making an impression on him right now, REGARDLESS of her attire. "Besides, with the right words, I've always found that appearance is just a secondary feature to impressions." He mused, but knew it was true; especially considering his adoration for poetry. Just special? Something about her commentary made him just stare at her in bewilderment. Really, what was she playing at? Ugh; why did he have to get into an argument with a Ravenclaw? True he was smart, but he should have known from Cel-an-dine, foremost, that arguing with Ravenclaws was never productive. "It still doesn't prove that physical actions are connected to psychology. Because true involuntary actions are necessary living, but I'm sure there are some voluntary actions that aren't. I'll just ... have to get back to you on details of what they are." Because he couldn't recall about those actions off the top of his head.

Noticing the eye rolling, he just shook his head. Really, he had NO reason to be answering to her questions. What was different about this section of the library versus other sections anyway? One glance at the bookshelves made him realize it though. "Yes, is there something wrong with this section of the library? Maybe I ... need a book," Dom paused, selecting one off the shelves. "On Practical Charms for Every Day Living." He nodded, showing her the title. "AH but see, if I am the one organizing the study session, then I need to know the place to inform others of the place and time. Before bringing others. And no, I am not apologizing for you being bored, but rather because you find company and consolation in BOOKS! And please it's a good thing you don't ..."

Maybe something interesting was in the library. She had to search anyway... those Slytherins were feisty and they were winning. Which wasn't good. It'll just boost their egos which didn't need any more boosting. Sighing, Livvy held onto her camera, ready to take a picture at any moment.

As the Ravenclaw girl made her way to the bookshelves, she heard a few... familiar... voices. Livvy was unable to recognize them, so she tiptoed closer to the bookshelf and peeked around the corner. And there she spotted Adrienne and Dominic chattering away. Except it wasn't really like chit chat, more like... jabbing-in-the-forehead and push-you-off-a-cliff type of talk.

Now, Livvy knew that eavesdropping wasn't good but from what she could tell, the pair were both aggravated by the company they had.

And oh merlin!

Did Dominic just apologize? WORTH telling. And unfortunately for Dominic, Livvy had a camera.

Livvy took a quick snap of the picture, making sure you could see Adrienne's raised eyebrow and Dominic's... whatever... confused face. The guy looked confused. Except, he always looked confused. That was what he always looked like. Confused. Hm. Mr. Confusion.

But wait. Was the flash on? Could they see it? Or where they too engrossed in their conversation to notice a beam of light flash into their face and a noise similar to a click?

"... have a camera." He finished the statement to Adrienne in a quieter tone, as he heard the definitive click of a camera and a flash from the corner of his eye. "I think. Someone just stole a picture of us." And if this ended up being in Aparecium .... That someone was going to pay.

Glancing around for the source of the photographer, he looked back at Adrienne again, bewilderment struck his expression.
