"Oh, um, s-s-s-sorry," Kurumi said as she passed Sierra the vial. It was a little sticky with red paint since Kurumi had been using a combination of her cloth and hands to clean the wall.
Since when had the girl developed a stutter? Must be all that Dictionary Eating she was doing. Knowing so many words had finally gotten to her head, and now when she spoke, she had no idea which words to say. Sierra regarded Kurumi's apologies with an eyeroll and then accepted the cleaning agents. She said nothing as she started to scrub. The stuff wasn't easy to get off.
A part of her was angry about doing it and the other part was just glad that there would no longer be a red X at this particular point in the castle. Her eyes flickered down the corridor, and noticing no other landlubbers down that way, she turned back to the wall. Some time later, she was done. She left the cleaning agents with Kurumi but said nothing to the slightly older Gryffindor.
She did turn to Professor Lafay, though.
"Bye, Professor. Have a good day," she said then she turned and headed for the staircases, disappearing down them a few moments later.
