Ryden allowed herself to relax against Orlando, briefly closing her eyes as he moved back a loose strand of her hair. She felt... like she was resting for the first time in a long time. She had a similar feeling when she first walked into her room during the break, only stronger. It really had been too long since they'd just been alone together.

And Ryden had really missed him.

She shrugged in response to his words. If she'd do great was still to be decided, and besides Ryden didn't enjoy talking about exams and things before one HAD to talk about them. It gave her a horrible headache and a desire to eat everything in sight. Not that there was much to eat here, but still. It wasn't the most pleasant of feelings.

The fifth year could tell he didn't want to talk about his time here, so she dropped the subject. Yes, Ryden occasionally had tact. She smiled however, when he mentioned Koala. "Tell him I miss him too - many good things wouldn't have happened if it weren't for him, you know," she stated, and lifted her head off his shoulder to look up at him.

She caught his eye. One thing in particular wouldn't have happened if it hadn't been for Koala. . .
