"She's nobody important," she said with a dismissive wave. Really. She wasn't. Not to Arya who had suddenly remembered that she was friends with that Hobo Destiny. Pffft.
Oh yea. Third year. She knew that, the girl had come in a year behind them. Lucky her. Didn't surprise her that he knew that since he was friends with the girl, better friends than she at least. What were they doing? "We were skating," what else where they to do on a frozen lake? "And talking."
"What does it mater which Ellie I was skating with...not that I know any others..." She only knew the one. "It just seemed like...I don't know, like there was a reason or something to knowing which Ellie." Alright. He'd successfully confused her. "I guess.." she responded a bit distractedly.
Haha. Treyen resisted the urge to chuckle at her comment and merely nodded. He'd never trusted Saylen. Not even from day one, therefore, his apology shouldn't have the word 'trust' in it. However, she was sort of right. They were badgers...er, no, wait a minute.
"We shouldn't go around trusting everyone just because we're badgers, though," like that Evelyn girl, will Arya trust her no matter what? Doubtfully.
He doesn't even trust Jake, and Jake IS also a badger. Probably in disguise. But still a badger.
And since Evelyn was not important, then he made no attempt at keeping up with said subject. What was the point, anyway? He already knew what had happened at the lesson. And the homework, well, yes, he wasn't doing that.
But then, his expression softened just as soon as Arya was commenting the skating part. He eyed the book he was holding and smiled, not at the book, but at the topic. His eyes were back on his friend for a moment,
"You did? Well, that's good, very good. Skating where?" And he oh-so-wondered what they talked about.
Except all he heard after that was 'Ellie', 'Ellie', and he could've very easily thought it was his mind playing tricks on him if he hadn't been looking at Arya. He blinked. Once, twice, thrice.
"Because I only care about one," he said, closing the book,
"And, well, I didn't know if you knew any other," yes, true,
"Did she...er, seemed happy to you?" he asked, turning towards his fellow fourth year.
