Nia was sure she could see a faint glimpse of a smile on Elan lips. Whether it was coincidence or related to him saying she was pretty though, she couldn't tell. She was just glad he was feeling more like his old self.

As Elan looked for food, Nia put some veg on her fork and took a mouthful. Pulling a face as she tasted the cold stew, she pulled her wand from her robes and reheated her meal.

"I'm glad we agree," Nia said with a wink. "Though I can do other stuff too, you know," she added with a twinkle in her eye. As Elan smiled about her plans, her smile faltered just little. Barely noticably, really. There was just one selfish moment when a small of her hoped he'd mention her. She sighed internally, not really understanding the true meaning of what she'd felt, before having a mouthful of chicken.

"I agree, far too much work as it is," she said after swallowing. "Dread to think what it'll be like this time next year with our OWLs."
