"I'm Arabelle," she replied. She watched as Lyra shifted her attention the Arabelle's Arithmancy book. "I'm awful at the subject, too. I've been studying for who know's how long and nothing has sunken in." She did feel slightly better as Lyra confessed to knowing little about the subject. At least she wasn't alone. Everyone in her class earlier acted like they've been working at it for ages.
He...was good at Arithmancy? Woah. Arabelle didn't know how he did it. And he was offering to help her. She blinked a couple of times before composing herself enough to respond. "Oh, I would love help. I've got most of the homework done, but I don't really know how the Transits work."
She hoped that he really wanted to help her, and wasn't saying it to be polite. Because if she wanted any chance of passing Arithmancy, trying to learn it by herself wasn't going to work. She smiled. "I'm Arabelle Reynolds. Pleased to meet you."
So her name was Arabelle. Good to know. It slightly annoyed him that he seemed to be meeting the girls all the time, but these girls were all good, so he was lucky. Kind of. He looked sort of sad when they both said they didn't get the subject. It was easy when you read it like ten times. And his father had made him read for 20 times. Good man.
He smiled.
"Okay. Which part do you not understand?" he asked, then walked over her to check from the textbook.
"Nice to meet you too. First year?" Most likely.
