She looked up, rather suddenly, at his question. "Couple of people," she said, evasively. "That thestral looks lonely, doesn't it? I think I'll go ride it." She rose to her feet, rather quickly. He did look plenty fine, now. He could do without her, for ten minutes.
Dylan frowned. Why was she avoiding his question? "My grandmother died of a heart attack. Last year," he said, looking at the floor. He missed her like crazy. And she was gone. "I was too late to say goodbye. She was gone before I had chance to." He had been like a minute too late. If only he had run faster.
He had told her who he had lost. Maybe she would tell him now. Well maybe after she had flown. "Go on. He does look lonely." And there he was. Left on the floor.
He would go find Professor Lawson. Check she was ok.
