A fuss was certainly something his cat liked to make, and it was good Ned was tough considering Padme someday liked to play roughly. Evan kept an eye on the pair of them, though he wasn't really too concerned about either hurting the other. Not intentionally anyways, though it was easy to hurt someone you cared about without meaning too. "It's good he does. He definitely helps get a lot of her energy out too." It made for a more restful sleep in the Ravenclaw dorm, no cat doing zoomies all around his bed in the middle of the night.

Glancing down at the paper in front of him, he stared at the butterfly for a minute and tried to imagine what colors he could do. In truth, he preferred look of just simple black and white sketches and rarely colored anything in. But he did have some colored pencils in his bag that he used for color coding his notes... and maybe it would be something different. He decided to take the suggestion, reaching into his bag and pulling out a pencil to get to work. "You're probably right. I'm terrible at picking out bright color patterns though." Yellow was a decent start, right? That was bright. Evan was still concerned, but he wasn't sure what he could do to help Jude. Was he even still making it worse by just talking to him about it? He opted to focus on what was offered while he considered how else, or IF, to broach anything further. "Caught up already? You're starting to sound like me. You're not already driving yourself crazy with studying right?"

The question was recognized as a tease, but Evan found himself actually considering it before he gave a sheepish smile. "I actually think I am kind of bored. I've been visiting Mai a lot to take her study materials but... there's not much to do if I'm not cramming for exams. I'm caught up on homework too but it doesn't seem helpful to exhaust myself now for NEWTs." Please he should be figuring out what he liked and wanted to do from this term onwards. "Writing a letter?"
