Well he was HUNGRY.

Jake was also annoyed at the way Neptune had said his favourite animal wasn't an animal in her eyes. He KNEW it was her opinion... but he really was intrigued by the creatures. He probably thought of them as equal to humans.

"I probably should have asked you earlier," he added immediately with a smile, so his disappointment never showed. Jake kind of figured Neptune wouldn't have wanted to come along either way.

Beginning to build a small tower out of knives and forks, Jake nodded at what he was hearing. Sister... mother... Durmstrangers... beach... OH. That could work.

"Well, provided you don't run off with any Durmstrangers..." he smiled in a mischevious way. "I'm sure I can do that. Maybe... when I go see my mother, too, you can come visit for a day? She lives on the beach."

Or coast. Whatever. He couldn't remember. Same thing when you got down to it. "Whether you do or don't, I'm definitely gonna take you out one night."

A PROPER date. They hadn't really had one before.

Stiiiiiiill... Jake built his towah.

"Jake.... I really don't think you DO see." She wasn't really saying 'him go do his things, she go do hers'. She was mostly saying she didn't want him to go. She didn't want him to get hurt and it wasn't like she could buy him a safety book about dragons.

That hadn't gotten them anywhere.

It was possible he was as stubborn as she was, but in all the wrong ways. "I'm not running off with anyone. I don't run. I don't do anything I'm not supposed to." Snippy. The Bott was snippy. "And I don't think you heard me about becoming a widow." As in, she didn't WANT to be one.

Grumpily, Neptune pressed her temple to his shoulder and poked at his tower. Hmph. "You have to take me somewhere good. Really good. Best date ever." Which.... might be hard to top. It would not involve dragons.

Ah... Jake wasn't the most knowledgeable person when it came to when to shut up, but he was on a roll today. When Neptune said how she didn't do things she wasn't supposed to, he left the matter and just nodded. His joke was premature, but he hadn't realised.

And she was kind of right... he didn't see. But not seeeeeeeing was like... what he was about. Like... he did see that Neptune didn't want him to go, but he did NOT see the extent to which she thought that.

"I heard what you said, Tune," Jake said softly as he put his arm around Neptune. "And I can promise you that you won't be a widow any time soon." Mainly because you had to be married to be a widow... but he didn't point that out. Or, like, she might think he wanted to marry her and that would lead to awkwardness.

Jake nearly FLAILED when she poked at the tower. But it didn't fall... probably because it wasn't tall enough TO fall. But she was safe from his freakout. "The very best. You deserve nothing less than the best."

And his kissed her on the forehead. Jake wanted Neptune HAPPY, of course.

"Basically I'm not going to get my way. That's what you're saying." That he REALLY wanted to go see the stupid dragons and was GOING to whether she wanted him to or not. Hmph. "Fine. Fine. But if you come back charbroiled I'm not going to speak to you for a year."

An ENTIRE YEAR. Hmph x 2.

She was a little appeased by hugs and kisses though. Maybe Neptune wasn't SO SO hard.... "And I want letters, too. And Romanian jewelry." You know, to make up for his shenanigans. That was totally fair.

He was right though. She did, when she was with Jake at least, FEEL like she deserved the best. "But nothing with dragons on it. I'm not condoning that type of behavior."

Jake blinked.

BLINKBLINKBLINK.

"I didn't realise we were debating my going...?" he said with great confusion in his voice. Though... to be honest he would still stick with his decision.

... and what she said didn't make sense either. "I think if I was charbroiled I would't be able to come back. That's... like... I dunno. I'd be dead," Jake pointed out simply.

And there was the pedantic Aspie Jake...

But anyway, yeah... "Did you think I wasn't going to write?" he asked Neptune, looking curiously at her and giving her a cuddle!squeeze, abandoning his tower for now and hugging her with the other arm as well.

He smiled, but decided not to laugh. She may hit him. "Romanian jewellry... nothing with dragons. I'll try and make it pretty enough to match up with your prettiness... but that might be impossible."

Hehecuddlesnug.

Hehecuddlesnug.

"Apparently we weren't." Otherwise the outcome would have more likely have come out in her favor, right? SIGH. Neptune shot him an entirely nasty look for rubbing in his victory.

"Jake." GOSH. It was... Sometimes he was impossible. "Forget it. Just don't get burned, eaten, maimed, stepped on, or chewed up alright? I don't think that is asking too much. Oh, and you absolutely may not have a pet dragon."

For real. It wasn't lawful. Neptune KNEW.

But...... giggle. She softened with TWO armed hugs. Much better. Giggle. "You'll make me prematurely gray and then I won't be pretty at all."

Satine smiled and pushed a stray purple hair behind her ear with a little laugh, "Well it might do wonders for my reputation but I don't think it would do much for yours...I mean I know I'm kind of scary....but really.." she said with a little eye roll. "But I think you might wanna be more worried that I end up being better at surfing...I mean I am a quick learner...." she said lifting her left eyebrow up.

She rolled her eyes again..."Well that is one heck of a word...it sounds more like a disease though...I hope Dal-Logic isn't contagious..." she paused and cocked her head to right side..."Really Dal-Logic...so what else makes perfect sense because you said so?"

Satine continued looking into his eyes....yes he would miss her too...that made her let out the breath she had been holding...but then she slowly sucked a little one back in and forced to keep her smile on her face as he mentioned she was one of his only friends...yes he had used the f word and nothing else..."Well, I'm happy that I got to meet you and that you consider me such a great friend." she said the last word with a little bit of a flippant voice but it was still sweet and friendly. "But I'm sure next year, they'll be plenty of new peeps to meet and get to know and I will write as much as I can....trust me..." she said slightly touching his arm for just a few seconds.

She glanced at him and met his eyes...o no had she forgotten to ever share her biggest and most important talent with him...she let all of the meetings play through her mind and realized that she might not have ever shared...that was odd for her, but she had always just been so preoccupied when they ran into each other.

Satine smiled a mischievous grin and then asked, "Possibly...only one way to find out...." she said with a wink, "So what's your favorite color?" she asked knowing that this might throw him off a little bit or make him think she was changing the subject but she was really hoping to show off a little bit.

Ivan walked into the Great Hall for the last feast before he got to return home and then get ready for his trip. Looking around he spotted a seat kind of away from everyone and sat down. This term had just royally sucked and he hated to admit it but he wanted to go home and mess with his cousin and his wife. Grabbing a plate he filled it with food and just looked around not touching it. He really was an idiot though. He messed up the one friendship he really wanted to keep with Mia. Then there was TJ who he liked but not really in a romantic way. Looked like James and him were going to be single together. Where was he? His eyes scanned around the table but there were so many people he was hard pressed to find him let alone make out who any of these other people were.

OHNOWHANGON. That LOOK wasn't nice at ALL.

Buuuuuuuut Jake, being the ever-forgiving sould he was, let it goooooo.

"Okay... I think I can avoid those for you," he nodded, though... burning? Yeah... that may be HARDEST to avoid. Because dragons breathed fire... and babies kind of couldn't controlllll the fire as much.

He thought about making a joke about the pet dragon, but he was so USELESS with humour that she'd probably think he was being serious... so yeah, best not to.

As for going gray and NOT being pretty, Jake positively SCOFFED. He snugggggled Neptune and kissed her on the cheek, though he REALLY wanted to kiss her on ZE LIPS. "You? Not pretty? That'll never happen... plus... you're beautiful in every way."

Going grey would NEVER affect that.

Unless she got angry about it.

"You should do it for you, too, you know. Not just me. You should care about being eaten. Most people do." Just a little FYI in case he didn't know. Sometimes Jake DIDN'T know the simplest of things. Wasn't he so lucky to have her?

She SCOFFED RIGHT BACK. "It's not true. I'm ugly when I cry and I know it. And sometimes I act ugly and sometimes I do it on purpose. It's okay for you to say, you know." Sort of. Usually.

It was hard to fathom that Jake actually MEANT what he said. Though it WAS part of the draw of Neptune to him. He never looked at her like she was a plague. Sigh. "I'm going to miss you." Truth. She nudged at his sunglasses with her knuckles. Those could go...?

Lexi was BORED of sitting with the LOUD Gryffindor's so she headed back to the Ravenclaw table to see if she could get into something...

Meh...

Smiling slightly she spotted Ivan and immediately went over. Plopping down next to him she nudged him gently with her elbow. "Hey. How are you?" she asked quietly.

Ivan was still in his search for James when he felt someone nudge him. Expecting James he couldn't quite hide his shock as he saw Lexi sitting there beside him. How was he? Hmmm.

"I've been better," he said honestly as he grabbed a glass and pouring some juice. He slid it in front of her before pouring himself another. "I thought this term was going to be great with James here as well but it's been nothing but problems for me." He raised his glass to his lips without a hint of a smile, "I might not be coming back." He still hadn't decided on that fully but there really wasn't anything for him here. Knowing his mum though she'd make him.

"How are you? Still with...him." Yup he shall forever be known as him in Ivan's mind. He didn't really blame her anymore, he didn't make her happy even though he tried so very hard. Oh well. And the one person who had made him happy after her had a freaking boyfriend...and wasn't speaking to him. Go figure.

"Yeah... I know..." Jake nodded, but that made him think. He SUPPOSED he just thought about other people and what they wanted more than himself, which could be a downfall but... Jake liked it. Not many people like him could say they thought in the same way.

He made a face. "You are not ugly when you cry. I have no idea why you think that. I mean, yeah... crying never makes anyone more attractive, and very rarely will anyone not become worse looking when they cry... but you are never ugly."

With a little shrug, Jake left that little bit. Looks weren't ever a big deal to him, but they seemed to be to Neptune and all he said was the truth.

As for acting in an ugly way on purpose... Jake had to admit that had never been the case with him... but he understood what Neptune was saying. "Well... you know... it's better that it's only sometimes," he pointed out. Jake smiled slightly... curse him for being such an optimist where Neptune was concerned. "It's something to improve on... everyone has something to improve on. Merlin knows I do."

When Neptune nudged his sunglasses, Jake raised up his hand to take them off automatically... but paused. His eyes were kind of red from being upset earlier. Of course... he wasn't sad NOW... so he took them off and set them on the table.

"I'm going to miss you too, Tune... but... let's not think about that just yet..."

And again with the HUGGINGGGGG.

And again with the HUGGINGGGGG.

Jim.

That was why she thought that. Neptune believed Jim, too, down to her core.

Jake was SO nice though. Too nice? Such a thing? He'd only been mean one time ever and she was probably mean once every half hour or so.

And had no intentions of changing...? No need. He liked her either way, apparently. So.... Shrug. "You need to improve your self preservation." Because honestly.... DRAGONS????

She watched the hesitation with the sunglasses and DID note the slightly puffy and redness. Awwww.... AWWWWW. "But I can't stop thinking about it. I can't just turn it off. It'll just be and Finny next year, I guess. And Lexi, but she's probably gonna be snogging Sal." Oh. Finny was with... Marie...

Ugh.

ALONE. NEPTUNE would be ALONE. "Go demand to stay, Jake." Just go do that. Right now. She actually nudged him like it was a feasible plan.

Self...

... preservation.

Jake actually chuckled at that, even though he had a fear of death when laughing at important things around Neptune. "You know... Truebridge told me about that at the start of term, and so did Descoteaux," he pointed out, thoroughly tickled by the way he'd gone full circle and re-encountered the word at the feast. "But when they said it it was about my behaviour at the start of term feast."

He said 'behaviour' in a dull 'hurrdurrIworkattheministryandamreallyboring' kind of way. Pfft. Behaviour.

Jake felt really bad that Neptune was feeling so... meh about staying, and he made a face. He'd give ANYTHING to stay... but what was done was done. "I wish it were that easy. You're welcome to come up with me and ask."

That was a half-serious statement as well.

"And I'm definitely getting that mirror..." The two-way one. Yes. And visiting. When he could. Whichever.

Oh, it was soo god to see Fee again! Katelynn had only briefly seen her blonde friends twice before, but had immediately started liking her. plus she had seen the girl walking around the school so often, that Katelynn kept being reminded by her.
She scooped over as Fee sat down next to her. "True! This first year has just flown past, it's like.. the days went a lot faster then they should! But I've enjoyed it a lot, though!"
Katelynn chuckled. "Okay, good!" she said and grinned. "Buuuut -- you never know though!" she said, and winked. *giggle*
Plans? "Well, I was really just planing to relax, and play a lot of Quidditch! But obviously trips to Diagon Alley as well! I'm so exited to get my new books so I can get started on them!" nerdy moment But hey, you ain't a Ravenclaw for nothing, eh?


Katelynn felt the relief flow through her veins. So, no drama with his fiancé leaving Hogwarts or anything.. "Good!" Katelynn said and smiled. "Yeah, definitely, I love Quidditch! Do you play?" she asked.
Katelynn giggled. "Yes, I'd wish that you could stay here as well! It would be great having more time to talk to you.." Katelynn said with a small voice, and felt a little bit embarrassed.
"Good!" Katelynn said and chuckled. "Do you know when it is, or haven't you planned that yet? Anytime just say it, and I'll be there. I do not wanna miss it!" she said with a big grin on her face.

"Well they're not teachers for NO reason, Jacob. Especially Mr. Truebridge. He knows all about preservation! Ex-convicts do know things." Neptune was SOOOOO matter-of-fact and continuing to chide Jake.

Was he STILL going to see dragons? STILL? Even after THAT reminder? Sigh. Impossible.

Sigh again. "You just should have been born a year later. I know they won't say yes, but ...." But.... beeehhhhhhhhhh. She did appreciate the effort he was putting into keeping her happy. The mirrors. The promise of visits. That he was entirely making HIS leaving about HER. But, she couldn't partner with a mirror in charms or sit with a mirror at dinner.

"You're right. I don't want to talk about it anymore. Tell me something good instead. Not about dragons."

"Ohh no," Dallin said hurriedly, shaking his head a few times. "Sorry, but that just ain't gonna happen." He smiled, but he was only sort of kidding. "With a great teacher like me, you can become great at surfing. But better than me? I think not." Although if anyone could do it, he'd bet on Satine.

He frowned at her when her voice changed it's tone. Was there something wrong with the word 'friend?' "Do you not want to be my friend?" he asked, chuckling nervously. He just nodded once to her as she kept talking, distracted by what he had said wrong. As she touched his arm, he stared at it and didn't look up.

But when she asked for his favorite color, he did look up. And blink at her. "What does my favorite color have to do -" with a shrug, he decided that she must have some method to her madness, so he smiled and said "Brown. Light brown." If she was changing the subject, he'd change it right back to her pink hair quick.

"Yeah... ye-" Jake broke off... the ex-convict thing. That was odd... Jake never ever thought of Truebz like that... the ex-convict thing was something he ALWAYS forgot, so it was usually a shock when he remembered.

At what Neptune said, Jake ACTUALLY winced. This was the first time he really thought about it but... "If I was born just a day later, I'd be a sixth year right now," he said quietly. OUCH. Just ONE DAY and all of his issues about leaving everything wouldn't exist.

UGH.

Okay. "Yes. Something else would definitely be better," he nodded, and instantly cast his mind around for something else.

He had nothing. OH.

"Did you know... that once my dad switched my taste buds around with magic," Jake said to Neptune. That was good, right? Well... it was better than the other stuff they were talking about.

"Zat's somexzing I 'ave never 'eard before!" Aimée exclaimed with a laugh. "But it cannot be true, ozerwise I would not be in zis 'ouse!" Of course she wouldn't - just a rumour, obviously. "I s'pose so. Beauty is in ze eye of ze beholder, no?" To one person, someone might be ugly, but to someone else they were most beautiful. Or something like that. She wasn't quite sure, and so she shrugged.

"And 'opefully my father won't make mine," the blonde agreed with a nod, although she had a feeling inside her that the twins would get on with Stephen, the little mischief makers. "Likewise - I would make zem get lost zough." That she would like to try.

"Zat's sensible." And it was - his parents had actually thought about it, and there was a Healer on the staff, so there wasn't much chance of an injury going unhealed. "Alzough I s'pose if you really wanted to put yourself in danger zen you are not going to listen to the teachers, eh?"

" Good for me, too" Rex laughed. " Yes I do play Quidditch and it is fun" Rex told Katelynn." Well, we can owl each other" Rex said to Katelynn." I promise to owl you a wedding invitation" Rex explained to Katelynn.

Satine smiled at him, "Well if I didn't know better than almost sounds like a challenge...." she said letting both of eyes open wide, "We'll just have to see, but I'm pretty sure that you're going down buddy..." she said lightly hitting her chest like athletes did when they were challenging someone else...the effect wasn't very effective through her laughter.

She froze for a second with his comment and only after finishing her thought did stop and think about the answer...don't want to be his friend?...she looked at him with her mouth open a little bit, "Well, it's not that at all Dallin..." she said with a little pause trying to get her words together, "It's not that I don't wanna be your friend, trust me, I treasure our friendship....it's not like I don't wanna know you or anything...but..." she looked in his eyes searching for something she wasn't sure about and then she glanced away for a few seconds and then back, "You know what I'm just going to quit beating around the bush...I wish we had more time to get to know each other because I feel like we could've had more than just a friendship...you know like maybe we would've made a good couple..." she said the last quickly glancing at his eyes and then at her hands occasionally and then she braced for him to laugh at her or say that was a crazy idea or give her the friend excuse. This was stepping out of the box for her...big time.

She looked at him almost disappointed, "Brown? Light Brown? really?" she had never had anyone share such a normal color with her...but nonetheless she focused on her eyes and met his..."You wanna see something cool?" she asked as her dark purple eyes changed slowly to a hazelly brown....as she focused she twirled a purple strand of hair between her fingers and focused on her hair as well....slowly her hair and the strand became a light brown..it was almost dirty blonde. She smiled at him with a face that clearly said that she knew it was pretty cool.

One eyebrow cocked, Dallin snorted at Satine's tough-guy chest-pound. "That doesn't exactly work if you laugh all cutesy while you do that." He winked. "But I'll take you up on that challenge. Just make sure you're ready to lose. I don't want to hurt your feeilngs." Smirk.

Blink. BlinkBlink. Did she just -? Oh. Merlin. He felt his stomach do a weird roll thing and he felt sick. Sure, she wasn't the first girl to say something of that nature to him, but she was the first girl that he actually felt sort of the same way about. He didn't know what to do.

He realized he was staring at her, and panicked. What was he supposed to do? Say something? Yeah, that's a good idea. "You've got to be kidding me," he said blankly. Only after he said it though, he realized how rude it might sound. "I mean... You've got to be kidding." Smooth, Dal. Real smooth. "I mean... I'm like... I'm just fifteen. I'm a dorky, annoying teenage boy. And you're..." he gestured to her hopelessly, unable to form anything that would sound okay. "Beautiful, I guess."

Okay. So the explaining? Dal wasn't so good with it. "I mean, you are beautiful. And I just think-" he was blowing this totally out of proportion. She probably didn't even mean it like a big deal. "It just doesn't make sense," He finished lamely.

Still shocked, he just nodded. But at the disappointed look on her face, he felt like I should explain the reason behind his favorite color. "It's the color of sand," he mumbled. "And some times sun rays." He looked away, so he almost missed the hair changing colors. He looked up in time though, and his eyes widened and his mouth dropped open. "You're a... a..." he couldn't remember the name. "You can change your appearance! So your hair did change colors!" He grinned, embarrassment totally forgotten with the pleasure of realizing that he was right.

Satine's mouth went into a little smirk, "Seriously, this must be some more of that 'Dal-Logic' shining through..." she said as she rolled her eyes. "Well let's just say I don't play fair so you better be ready to rumble buddy..." she said putting her fists up like she was a boxer, "Sting like a butterfly and fly like a bee....o wait ...or is it fly like a butterfly and sting like a bee...well either way you're in trouble..." she said play boxing him.


Satine swallowed hard and took a deep breath. She hadn't been prepared for him to be quiet for so long and for his blank look...o no this couldn't be a good sign...she grabbed her glass and acted like she was taking a sip. She really wasn't but it just seemed to help her keep from screaming or something...she just wanted to yell 'SAY SOMETHING ALREADY' but she knew that wasn't the answer to it...and then he spoke...

Her mouth dropped open and she set the glass down as nicely as she could trying to keep the red out of her face. She turned to him her eyes closed as he said his first comment. That was not the response she was hoping for...no she wasn't kidding...did this sounds like a joke?...and this is why girls don't share their feelings...stupid stupid Satine...well she had learned her lesson this time...she tuned him out for a few seconds and just saw his mouth moving but it was like the teacher in those muggle Charlie Brown cartoons it was just a blah of words.

And then when she focused back in and opened her eyes again he was mentioning his age...his age?...really it was just two years younger... She shook her head left and right slowly. And then the excuses started about why she was crazy....him dorky? umm okay look in the mirror, Dallin. Her head continued to shake back and forth and then his lasts words stopped her head 'I guess.' Yep the friend conversation was coming next. Her mouth hung open and she tried not to cry...Satine was not a crier at all and no boy was going to make her cry. She took slow small breaths and calmed down finally getting her mouth closed. She would handle this with dignity and then run away and hide and yes never do this again...

She finished his sentence for him, "You just thought that we were would always be friends and that's how you were always going to see me..." she kind of mumbled politely as she glanced over his shoulder staring at nothing in particular. "I get it Dallin..." she paused and then continued still not making eye contact knowing that that's when her face would turn red and then the rest of her would as well, literally, she looked down at her hands in her lap, "Ummm, look just forget I said anything...don't worry about it...I mean I won't be here next year anyways so you're right it doesn't make sense...and I guess it doesn't really matter anyway..." she said wondering if maybe she should just give him a friendly hug and then go say goodbye to some of her other friends.

Having another subject to focus on was nice but still just awkward but she went with it. She didn't want the last memory of her in Dallin's mind to be when she was a crazy woman and mentioned a relationship. Maybe this would overlap the other memory in his head. It wouldn't erase her memory but you kow.

Satine truly smiled at his reaction. She just loved when peeps acted like that. "Yes I'm a meta!" she said with pride...she never really said the whole word because her Texas accent made it sound weird. "My eyes and hair are the easiest thing for me to change....so easy that sometimes they change without me wanting them like with my moods or when I'm embarrassed or blushing or something..." she said the last reason quickly hoping he wouldn't realize she had been blushing when her hair changed before. "I'm not as good at changing like my features and stuff, but the hair and the eyes are just natural...and well, that explains my dark purple hair...." she said blowing a bang out of her face and shrugging her shoulders.

"Well let's just say I don't play fair so you better be ready to rumble buddy..." she said putting her fists up like she was a boxer, "Sting like a butterfly and fly like a bee....o wait ...or is it fly like a butterfly and sting like a bee...well either way you're in trouble..." she said play boxing him.

"Exactly. See what I mean about just making sense?" Of course, Dallin knew perfectly well how clever he was, but maybe others didn't agree. At the sting like a butterfly comment, he started laughing. "Yeah, it's fly like a butterfly." He grinned at her and nudged her side with his elbow when she play boxed him. "You don't scare me, though." Heh.

"Metamormagus!" He exclaimed. At least, that's what he thought it was. 'Meta' was a good abbreviation. He leaned back a bit, tipping his head slightly to one side. "So, why purple?" he questioned, looking from her hair to her eyes. He had to wonder why he'd never asked her that question before, but he must've just had more pressing matters on his mind when he was with her.

She really wasn't but it just seemed to help her keep from screaming or something...she just wanted to yell 'SAY SOMETHING ALREADY' but she knew that wasn't the answer to it...and then he spoke...

Her mouth dropped open and she set the glass down as nicely as she could trying to keep the red out of her face. She turned to him her eyes closed as he said his first comment. That was not the response she was hoping for...no she wasn't kidding...did this sounds like a joke?...and this is why girls don't share their feelings...stupid stupid Satine...well she had learned her lesson this time...she tuned him out for a few seconds and just saw his mouth moving but it was like the teacher in those muggle Charlie Brown cartoons it was just a blah of words.

And then when she focused back in and opened her eyes again he was mentioning his age...his age?...really it was just two years younger... She shook her head left and right slowly. And then the excuses started about why she was crazy....him dorky? umm okay look in the mirror, Dallin. Her head continued to shake back and forth and then his lasts words stopped her head 'I guess.' Yep the friend conversation was coming next. Her mouth hung open and she tried not to cry...Satine was not a crier at all and no boy was going to make her cry. She took slow small breaths and calmed down finally getting her mouth closed. She would handle this with dignity and then run away and hide and yes never do this again...

She finished his sentence for him, "You just thought that we were would always be friends and that's how you were always going to see me..." she kind of mumbled politely as she glanced over his shoulder staring at nothing in particular. "I get it Dallin..." she paused and then continued still not making eye contact knowing that that's when her face would turn red and then the rest of her would as well, literally, she looked down at her hands in her lap, "Ummm, look just forget I said anything...don't worry about it...I mean I won't be here next year anyways so you're right it doesn't make sense...and I guess it doesn't really matter anyway..." she said wondering if maybe she should just give him a friendly hug and then go say goodbye to some of her other friends.

His eyes widened in something like terror and he shook his head. "No, Satine. No, no, not at all." His voice was hurried and obviously nervous. "I promise it's not that." He looked away, bringing his hands up and down in a helpless gesture and was quiet for a moment. "Listen," he said slowly and quietly. "Maybe I'm just freaking out because... no, freaking out isn't the right word." He tried to force himself to say what he wanted to say, but he couldn't bring himself to do it.

"All I'm trying to say is thanks for telling me. I know how hard it is to tell someone your feelings - heck, I'm not even doing it right now." He laughed shortly to cover up the truth of what he'd just said. "And I think you should know that it's not that I just want to be your friend. It's that..." He shook his head. "I'm a stupid boy and I can't express my feelings. I'm sorry." He looked up at her, his eyes big and round. He reached forward and grabbed both of her hands in his and held them on his lap. Then he looked away and didn't say anything.
