Maybe he wants to prolong this decision, maybe he doesn't want to do it; because when he got close enough to the table, he didn't stop. He just kept on walking, beginning to circle all four tables.
Great! Now I look weird. As he walked around the Great Hall, he tried to think of any medical reason why he can do this another time. Like, on the train ride home or something. Then he questioned why he's even doing this at all and if he could just simply ignore her at all costs, but avoiding her might make things worse. Mick wished that his father or Aunt Ana was with him, then he could ask them what he should do. Wait a minute - they might tell me the same thing, 'do what you think is right'. I don't know what's right.
The second time he came by the Ravenclaw table, he went passed it again. It occured to him that Sophie and Laura might be talking about him, talking about why he's circling the room like a maniac. Feeling really insecure about what people may be saying about him, he turned around and went back to the Ravenclaw table and headed towards Miss Morganzo. "Hi Elliot -" Mick stopped and realized his reason to avoid this conversation was right in front of him. It appears that she's talking to someone. "I'm sorry, I'm obviously interrupting -" and his sentence dropped again. He started to think that if he cops out, nothing will get resolved. "Aahhhhhhhhhh...Why are you mean to Laura and Sophie and nice to me?" It all just spilled out, without any beforehand thinking.
I'm so stupid!
Elliot was still flipping through Aurora's book...trying to see if she had any tips on becoming an Occlumency EXPERT in less than a week...
Ugh.
So far she found NOTHING...like that. But she did appreciate it. She lifted her glass to her lips, taking a deep sip of water--since, apparently, the tea was NOWHERE to be found--and lifted her eyes at the sound of approaching human presence.
Meh.
It was Mick! Elliot's managed a small grin as he said her name...but he looked off. She tilted her head to the side curiously...wondering WHY he was acting so weird...she opened her mouth to ASK him so when he dropped THAT bomb..
*BLINK*
Elliot just stared at him for a few seconds...Uh...what? She finally got her voice...
"Because I like you... and don't like...them." I mean..isn't that sort of...obvious? Because...when you like someone, you're nice to them. And quite the opposite when you don't..she was staring at him quizzically...because it seemed so obvious...
