Going out of her way in an attempt to make someone else smile wasn't exactly her kind of thing. This was completely new territory for her altogether.

She drew in another deep breath. Okay, Greingoth. Spit it out and get it over with. "This was your first year teaching here at Hogwarts, right?" Or, at least, the first year Sierra knew of. "I just wanted to welcome you to the school, since I never really did that before." She'd been sort of quiet in class, which was her comfort zone. "I know it's the end of the year now, but it's never too late to correct a mistake, right?" She gave the professor an awkward grin. So far, this was going a little better than she expected it to.

"Anyway, erm..., thanks for a good year, and..." She trailed off. Merlin. She should have practiced this in front of a mirror or something. "...I also wanted to ask if you needed any help wrapping things up for the year. I'm done with my homework, so I just thought I'd ask if you'd like some last minute help cleaning up the greenhouses or the gardens before we leave for the summer."

So it had taken some time for her to say what it was she wanted to say... Seren had sat there, watching the young Slytherin.. waiting, trying to decipher the pauses in her speech. It must have been serious.
"It's alright dear, take your time." She had plenty of it. Yup... she wasn't in the mood for paperwork... not now, and not at any other time.

But then...

"Yes it is my first year..."

Wait? What? ... Welcome her? Merlins Beard! Did Sierra Griengoth just welcome her to the school? ...

"Oh.. Miss Griengoth... thank you, such a kind gesture." Ok this was... slightly strange. She had not seen this coming from the young Slytherin, but it was muchly appreciated. She smiled a the young girl warmly.

But now she was thanking her? and offering to... help. Merlin that was nice of her.
"Well you're very welcome, I'm so pleased you enjoyed it." She assumed Sierra had enjoyed the lessons... if she was thanking her for them, then it would make sense for her to have liked them right?
"Everythings in pretty good nick right now, but you're always welcome to tidy up the student garden.. a little mulching wouldn't go astray. But whatever you're comfortable with."

In all honesty she couldn't imagine Sierra mulching. Not if she didn't have to, but the gesture was lovely enough.

Why did she need a silencing charm for that though? Hhhmmm, strange.
