Partly because she trying to do most of it in gobbledygook, but mostly because of the content.
With a giant sigh, she wadded up another draft and tossed it onto Scrapped Letter Mountain beside her. She heaved another giant sigh as her mind wandered from the letter to the.... subject material of the letter....
Cornelius wasn't expecting to find Aspen sitting at the study tables of the Common Room, at all. This was because, in all honesty, it just seemed too easy. For them to run into one another, it usually took planning or a surprise run-in in the Entrance Hall or something entirely random. But for the both of them to run into one another in an entirely logical place without any planning at all and of pure coincidence? It was almost unbelievable!
And so, grinning, Cornelius made his way over to her and her pile of crumpled papers, about to say something when yet another ball of paper flew towards the pile and in doing so, directly towards the Ravenclaw boy who was walking up unnoticed from that direction. Without second thought, he caught the crumpled piece of paper in one hand before it could join the others, glancing down at it before glancing at the girl sitting at the table.
"What did the papers ever do to you?" he teased, flashing her a warm smile before gently placing the paper onto the pile it was destined for.
He suddenly realized just how stressed she looked and his smile fell just slightly before he leaned down to place a brief, yet warm kiss to her cheek. He wondered vaguely what Aspen would think of his newly adopted casual-cheek-kissing-ways, but was still focused on what she had been doing.
"What's got you abusing papers?" he wondered aloud playfully, moving around the table to take the seat across from her.
