Willow might be working us hard on the pitch, but it's one of the best feelings there is, so I never mind. And schoolwork, well, it just has to be done."

She saw him smile just moments after the full colour came through her blush. Were the two events related? Probably. Gah! He wasn't meant to notice. She shrugged, trying to persuade her cheeks from blushing again. "I'm just me, Nia, and anything from there is a bit of nature and a bit of nuture." She smiled as he blushed at his compliment. "It's true. Some things you're far better than me at..."
He laughed quietly as she struggled to ask him a question. "Of course I do. Why wouldn't I take an interest in you, Nia?" She seemed rather nervous, so he asked "Are you ok? You seem a little off." He took a bite of roll while he waited for her answer.

"Well, I'm glad you have something you love to do besides school work."

He chuckled. "Just Nia? There's more to you than just Nia." And when she continued on after him, he told her jokingly "well, what am I better at than the amazing Nia?" He was having fun for the first time in a while and smiled watching her.
