Oh.
The book! Of course! It seemed Melanie was in need of it, and he oh-so-expected that she'd say she didn't.
The book? Where was the book? Right there on his backpack, because he'd been taking notes again. Sierra didn't know, but he was working full time on that potion. "Oh, I've had it since...," never mind, right. The boy took his backpack from the ground and opened it, spotting in an instant Melanie's book. "Here it is." He smiled as he took the textbook out and almost unwillingly gave it to her, "I've had it with me since...forever, really, I've been looking for you for quite a while now." Clearly, he hadn't been looking very much.
But, hey! What was that look for? He was giving her the book back, wasn't he? Oh. Blink. Blink. "Do you need help with...Potions?" he asked, tilting his head to one side, "I could help you, if you'd like." There was a slight shrug to his shoulders, he didn't mind. Distractions, while no longer needed, were always welcome.
Melanie took the book from him, holding it to her side. She stared down at the textbook for a moment,
as if checking for damages, before looking up and returning Treyen's smile.
"You said you've had it for a while..." ...and that he'd been searching for her. Melanie doubted she was hard to find, considering she spent the majority of her time wandering the grounds, or in the common room. She shrugged it off, though.
"Did you read the whole book?" Melanie typically used her textbooks for studying specific things, or referencing material, simply because she felt there were better things out there to read. With Treyen she couldn't help but wonder, though, out of simple curiosity.
"Oh. Uhm." That was Melanie's first reaction when he suggested the he could help her with Potions. She had never really considered getting help for the class before, though it
was her worst subject. Now, with the offer up in the air, she pondered it. Melanie
knew she could probably use the help...
However, "I think I'll be okay just studying." At least, Melanie hoped so.
"If I have a question about something Potions related I'll be sure to bother you first though." she assured him, with a small grin.
