Was he... toying with her? If he was... he would find out why hell hath no fury like a woman scorned...

She tried to figure him out... and then it dawned on her.

He didn't want the others knowing about his attraction to her. OF COURSE! That wouldn't be at all that professional. That's why he wasn't looking her way... Lexi would know for sure then he was wooing Hecate. There really was no other explanation. Very well... she'd play along. For now.

"Cream?" She asked, her wand still raised, the cream pitcher dangling above his cup.

Hectate was making him feel terribly uncomfortable. But then again, when DIDN'T she? The woman just had this ... aura about her. A menaing aura. How in the world was he supposed to get out of that dinner date she'd planned for them without her cursing him?

"No.. no cream thank you, ma'am.. I mean, Hectate.." Sage stumbled over his words AND his feet as he edged forward to take the coffee of her of.. trying his hardest not to brush his hand against hers. "Thank you."

"...just back and forth from home to Hogwarts," she answered. With the school year so close to starting, Lexi had given up on any thoughts of traveling days ago. "Maybe during the Christmas holidays, though. So how's things at home? Did you get everything taken care of on the farm?" She remembered that Sage had said something about spending the summer helping out on the family farm.

At least he wasn't completely ALONE with Professor Lafay though, and clearing his dry throat a little more, Sage perched on the chair beside Lexi's. "Oh yes, there's just small odd jobs to do around there.. I came back to the school to check up on the plants here," he explained, looking from one woman to the other. "If you don't mind my asking.. What are the both of you doing here?"

Was it normal for Professor's to pay numerous visits to the school during holidays? Perhaps they were just checking up on things as he was.
