"Well, I was just thinking about how the pictures and even the staircases move, but not the statues. I mean, I've never seen them move, so I was sort of waiting, to see if they did." She had a lot of time on her hands lately, so it seemed that she had acquired a few odd habits.
Okay. Now Anna was acting weird. This was just starting to be too odd. They were friends right? So why did Evolette feel so weird about admitting to Anna that Terry had dumped her? Did she think it would mess up her reputation? Or maybe it was because at one point, Evolette had been nothing more than the other woman to Anna, and maybe if Anna knew about her problems with love, she would think it was deserved?
Or maybe she was just thinking about it too much.
Right, that had to be it. "Okay." she started, eyes circling the area quickly to make sure no one else was around. "I'll tell you, if you tell me. Deal?"
Anna nodded when Evolette started talking about the moving pictures and staircases. The thought actually made sense to Anna, though, and she glanced back up at the statues once again. When they didn't move, she turned back to Evolette. "I came here with Nico once last term," she randomly said. "We just sat and talked and got our mind off things that were bothering us. I guess it's a good thing the statues don't move, you know. I don't think the place would be quite so peaceful if they did."
A few more moments of silence awkwardly passed. Both Evolette and Anna had something to say, but neither were really talking about it. Just when Anna was starting to think the conversation was getting a little
too awkward, Evee finally spoke up and broke the silence. Anna considered Evee's deal for a moment and then nodded. "Alright. Deal," she said. "Do you want to go first?"
