Oh, he was feeling like getting away from her because she wasn't even greeting him. Eyes were on her the whole way to the table, and then stayed on her until she said his name. What had he done to her? He was trying very hard to remember any incident that may have provoked such a cold behavior but he came up with nothing. At all. And this couldn't be just because of Quidditch. Plus, she'd seemed rather nice at classes. Sort of.
Either way, he still smiled, even if she didn't deserve it, and nodded, "Sierra," his eyes went to Lafay, just to make sure someone of power was in the room. He was already taking out his journal and about to begin talking to her when...he got confused. Kurumi? His eyebrow was now raised, "We are never finished, truth be told, why do you ask?" he had no idea what Sierra had been truly asking, though.
Sierra followed Treyen's glance toward Professor Lafay. Again, she smiled at her Head of House but turned back to Treyen a second later.
"Never finished? You mean, you talk about numbers often?" she asked. Suddenly, she was nervous. Seeing Treyen in class was one thing. There were other students around and a lesson to somewhat distract her. Here in the lab, aside from Lafay and the two other students she saw out of the corner of her eye, it seemed so much more personal. She shrugged.
"Just asking."
There was still something she wanted to ask him. Something she'd heard earlier in the school year but still hadn't gotten around to figuring out if it was true or not.
"Treyen?" she asked, looking down toward her lap then looking up at him expectantly.
"I hear you're Ellie's boyfriend now." She swallowed nervously. Despite the big, bad attitude she usually displayed, she could almost feel her almost-thirteen-year-old heart breaking.
