The moment Culloden started in his teasing, sing-song voice, Soph crossed her arms, rolling her eyes and doing her best to look unamused.

............But Jasmine's better than you?

Even though she knew he was "joking," that struck a sore spot - in fact, everything he said from then on did and got worse, and Soph tried not to let it show - she tore her gaze away from his and instead appeared far too transfixed on one spot on the ground, letting him finish out his whole ramble before she even considered speaking again.

She could take his teasing. But when there was some truth behind what he was saying, and she KNEW he wasn't just talking nonsense - Jasmine had earned more points than her last term, but that didn't say anything about leadership qualities or heart, and it was true that Tobes didn't have the best of the best grades, but that wasn't HIS fault! Toby was TOTALLY social! And conversed like a champ! And he WAS perfect to her!

Sophie wanted to yell at him. Scold him for being out of line. Make him feel like a bully. But she was still aware of the state he had been in when he first approached the office - the most angry she'd ever seen him - and she wasn't sure that any criticism of him would even make a difference right now. It'd probably just add to his bad mood. Maybe he didn't mean to be a jerk. Maybe it was just his bad mood clouding his judgment.

Still, she wasn't going to entirely let him insult her and Tobes.

She could've taken insults directed solely at herself. But going after Tobes was where he crossed the line.

"Because you're in a foul mood," she began, speaking matter-of-factly as she closed her bag of sweets and slung it over her shoulder, "I'm gonna give you the benefit of the doubt that you didn't think through how that would come across and let ya live." Careful choice of words there so he'd both realize he was being a jerk and how it affected her, but also sort of making it not come across as harshly by teasing about letting him live. "B'you're gonna have to walk by yourself." Yep, she was headed for the door and leaving without him.

Cosgrach felt the heavy mood in the room - how he put the table between them for the first time and her anxious glances - but he chose to ignore it and return her glances with a questioning one of his. And anyway, if she wanted to know why he missed the feast, she should ask - ... First, his left eyebrow was raised; then the sides of his eyes were wrinkled and the next second, he was grinning and shaking his head to himself. "Someone's passionate about her boyfriiieeeend," he sang in his terribly manly voice, "and also ambitious. But you've got to admit, Jasmine's better than you." He winked, albeit his mind was still clearly on something else. *"I honestly can't see what's so perfect* about Tobias. If anything, Adi's conversation is better, he's more social and has better grades too." He shrugged and started looking at her curiously to hear what she would say. Hehehe. Hehe. He. "The Headmistress is waiting me for a meeting," he said softly before he let her speak. You could say he was politely dismissing her. "Shall we walk together until second floor?"** So you must say he wanted to speak to and tease her. He just had to be a responsible professor now.
