Nodding slightly at Miles, but not taking his eyes off Jacob, he looked apologetic, which was odd he thought. Why would he look that way if he'd intended to start a fight.

Shaking his head at the younger student, "No, I can manage. Thank you." he says trying to soften his voice a little. She was after all just trying to help. On the other hand Ellie, was driving him nuts! Rolling his eyes he turns away from her plea's to Miles.

Putting all his weight on his left leg, he manages to exit out of the common room with Miles. He was ticked, but knew it would be better just to go as he was told.
