If she was. He didn't know, nor did it seem appropriate to ask about it either.

So, "I won't." He said, giving her a small smile.

And yes, he knew she was dying to interrupt him, hence why he stopped her from doing so before she even had the chance. Treyen also had an idea of what she'd say, and the reasons for disagreeing with him...which he'll see if he was right about or not.

For argument's sake, let's pretend she's right and he's not useless. He was still failing to see the point of how he'd been useful, but whatever. Let's pretend.

His eyes fell on the bowl in front of him, as he played with the untouched ice cream and listened to his girlfriend. He should probably eat that. The elves will be devastated if he didn't. WAIT. An eyebrow was raised, though he wasn't sure Ellie could notice or not. She was glad he wasn't there for her after the match? He...sort of liked to have her there with him after any match, that's why they usually walked back to the castle together. Nice to know she was entirely alright with skipping that part. Very nice. He said nothing, though.

Yes, Ellie, that's why he ended up with the broom, no ulterior motives whatsoever. Her words weren't exactly helping and the 'expectations' talk reminded him of one particular conversation he had at the beginning of the school year. "What did you expect?" Nothing? Because that's what she got, apparently.

Sorry for interrupting, but he had to.

It wasn't that he expected too much of himself, but he couldn't see it all too clearly. Yet she was correct. Again. "No, I don't believe it. But I know I should." That's why he kept pointing it out, perhaps one day the idea will be accepted by him and he'll believe it. Right now, he chose not to. Ellie wasn't the only one who was stubborn.

Though, perhaps Treyen was simply blind.

Eh...what now?

Another small smile played on his lips at her words. So, he is a fantastic boyfriend? The same boy that leaves their girlfriend at the Pitch? He saw fault in her logic. The smile still appeared, and his eyes were still on the ice cream. "I didn't make that little girl cry either." He knows how many girls he's made cry, okay? And that one didn't make his list.

How coincidental it was that she also mentioned the word 'try', as Keefer and Alec had, and seemed to think that was the most important part of it all...

So, it surprised her a bit. That Treyen didn't say anything more. That he just wouldn't comment on Alec or...her...or the Seeker's performance or whatever it actually was that she didn't want to hear about. All of the above, perhaps. It was greatly appreciated. "Thank you."

She had to talk to Vindictus.

He got eyed a bit for interrupting, but...In all fairness, Ellie never said he couldn't. And she hardly cared.

What did she expect? Nothing from him, honestly. Not at that moment. "I don't know... You were Chaser. I suppose I expected you to be concentrated on the Quaffle." Not near the Seekers. That wasn't when the Snitch wouldn't move away from him so...

Yup. See, she knew he didn't believe it. Simple explanation for why not catching her was bugging him. "Maybe... If you thought about a situation...where you do believe you're....in control or...protecting...whoever...," her, someone else, whatever, "...effectively, then...it'll help. Because even if you're not in that perfect circumstance where you can help...the feeling's still there. And you know that you feel that way, no matter what." Ellie was....sort of drawing from experience. Even if she couldn't explain it properly. "Maybe it'll help you to believe it."

She took a few more bites of toast before responding. Little girl? "Indy?" Little Hutchinson. Ellie REALLY rolled her eyes this time. "She's little and she was hurt. Of course she cried. And of course it wasn't your fault." Vindictus really got to him, didn't he?

"Why are you trying to blame yourself for everything? Why are you taking everything he said so seriously?"
