It seemed he was a tad bit too comfortable around her to just be propping his feet near her. She allowed it, only because there was no need to have be petty when the King of Pettiness was also present in the compartment with them.

"Please, this is a one-sided thing, where he is antagonizing me." Which was all she would say on the matter lest she invoke the even pettier side of her brother. Levi's ability to hold a grudge was incredible, she had to commend him for his determination. "Oh, really," she said coolly, trying her best not to incite an argument - but old habits die hard with those two - "I'll remember that." Which was code for: this will come back to bite you harder than you think it will. She would have been done with the matter but, just like her bull-headed older brother, Bentley weighed in on the matter, saying careless and meaningless things. The Hufflepuff cut Bentley a severe look - one that she reserved solely for Levi and Declan - before sighing and fixing her face to a more neutral expression.

There were a few choice words that she'd wanted to say to both Levi and Bentley but she kept them to herself. She had no need to be agitated, but the day was still young. "I really wish you wouldn't, Levi. But I won't cause a scene in front of your dorm mate, I can respect your desire to come off as the good guy here." She didn't, but there was no need to say that out loud. She turned her attention back to Bentley as she was also eager to hear how the rest of his summer went.

Bentley's eyebrows rose up and down while the siblings spoke. Tense..so tense. He sighed inwardly. Was this how he and Heath sounded to other people? He made a mental note to work on that. It probably wouldn't help at all but he'd attempt to change it.

Althea's tense look was met with a smile though. He was used to dealing with moody girls.

His summer? Well...his summer was..confusing. Yes, that was a good word..that summed up his summer perfectly...or maybe tumultuous was a better word for it...yeah he'd go with that.

"It was okay I guess....enlightening...glad it's over. Never thought I'd ever say that.." He thought about what he said for a bit. "What about you guys? How was your summer?"

Levi was pretty sure Althea's favourite past time was playing victim. For whatever reason, his sister always seemed to be under the impression that she was the wronged party; even when she most definitely was not. If someone were to ask him, and they seldom did, Levi would have been the first to blame his parents or more specifically, his father. Althea tended to get away with saying certain words in certain tones that were often brushed off as, that's just the way she talks, Levi.

But if he did the same, well--it was best not to consider that now.

His smiled widened but it became harsher and he very much felt like walking out. "It's good to know, Thea, that one constant in my life is how easily you point out all the ways in which I've supposedly wronged you." He slid down on his seat and began to loosen his tie, a show of making himself comfortable though he was not. "Anyway, it doesn't matter--you will do and say as you please, as always, and the rest of us will just have to follow." Or Declan would. Or maybe Althea would do as Declan said. It wasn't important. He was tired of decisions being made for him; decisions that directly affected him. His consent, apparently, was not necessary. "But go ahead, little sister. Remember this." He studied his nails. "In fact, if you forget, I will remind you."

"My summer was eventful, too," Levi turned to Bentley, only missing a beat and a half. "I think all of our summers were." Don't. "How interesting." Levi rummaged through his pocket and retrieved some of the sweets he'd acquired earlier. "Candy?" At Bentley.
