"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.
