She'd actually forgotten Treyen mentioned something about it until he brought it up again. She looked up at him, her facial expression silently questioning him.

"Oh, ...yeah. Conan," she said, shrugging a bit. "Yeah, he's a nice boy." He'd brought her flowers for Valentine's Day, but she choose not to give Treyen that little detail. Maybe he already knew, though. He was a Hufflepuff, too, so maybe he'd caught up with Conan before the boy had left their common room. She looked at him for a few seconds longer, waiting for some further explanation or comment, but none ever came. Hmm. She guessed the boy was just questioning whether or not his friend had been seen out and about.

She laughed when he answered her question about taking him out. "Oh, come on, Treyen. I'm not that scary, am I?" she asked. Argh. It kind of concerned her that a boy like Treyen might be nervous around her. She wanted him to like her, not be leery of her. "The only time I'd take you out is..." She paused and gave him a grin. The type of grin that said she was either had a trick up her sleeve or was otherwise up to no good. "...is if I took you out for ice cream." Yes, Sierra Greingoth was blunt and bold. "We should really hang out sometime."

Perhaps on a Saturday when Ravenclaw will be conveniently busy on the Quidditch pitch?

She stopped all other line of thinking when he passed a piece of parchment to her. She was quiet for at least three solid minutes while she read over everything and let it all sink in. He'd finished their potion. Without her. Sure, they could make trial and error corrections now, but he'd finished it. Ugh, and what made it worse is that he was sitting there thinking he'd done something amazing for her. Instead, he'd left her out. The jerk. She said nothing but quietly packed her belongings into her bag. She stashed the parchment in there, as well.

"Well, ...I see you've done your homework," she said. "I have to get going." ... "I'll see you around?" She looked at him, wishing she could say so many more things to him, but in the end just sighed and turned to walk away. On the way out the door, she stopped by Lafay's desk. "Bye, Professor," she said, in a very soft tone. "Thanks for letting us use the lab." Then she turned on her heels and left the lab.

OOC: Karla!!! This is all IC. Sierra may be all mehh right now, but I'm not. Thanks for typing that up for us (it looks awesome!), and we'll have them meet up again soon!


So, Conan was a nice boy. He had to smile at that, for it was true, but coming from Sierra it was always a plus. However, if she considered Lola as nice, then he was lost as to how Sierra's mind actually worked.

Not that he knew that at the moment.

He said nothing else on the matter, though, and her laugh surprised him. The boy also managed not to answer that question. The Slytherin girl in front of him had been deemed of 'nice' and at times 'sweet' by him, but after seeing her on the Pitch, well, he didn't know anymore. Plus, she often glared his way, and he was pretty sure he'd done nothing to deserve that glare, but what did he know.

Tentatively, he shook his head, as if to say she wasn't scary. At least not right now. Needless to say, her next...invite? Wait, what? THAT was unexpected. Was she asking him out? For ice cream? He supposed he could do that, it wasn't like she was TRULY asking him out. "Yeah, sure thing, whenever you feel like it." He smiled her way, and completely forgot about Lafay and Lucille eyeing them at the front.

OH.

Wait. Hold on.

He did ONE thing wrong. And he only took notice of that thing just now. This was a collaboration. And Treyen was pretty much handing her over a WHOLE potion. One in which Sierra took no part in. The Prefect was about to say something about that but she was already leaving. He'd never meant for that potion written in that piece of parchment to be FINAL, he just wanted her to have that so they could discuss if they were somewhere close to done.

Not that he wanted to be over the potion or anything.

Why was Sierra so sensitive about this anyway? And moody. She was. "Yeah, go ahead, see you." He said, before she was finally out.

There was no point in staying after she'd left, right? Because he had no other potion to work on at the moment, nor he wanted to practice any other. So, he placed his journal in his bag and nodded to Lafay, "See you, Professor," he said, before leaving.
