And there was the Edward she'd been afraid to be caught slacking by. Emmeline looked away quickly, forcing herself not to allow her face to express the surprise and...it wasn't exactly annoyance, but it felt like it. A bit of frustration thrown into the mix too, and it felt like she was back at Hogwarts with her too high strung year mates unable to take a bit of teasing. Dedalus and Elphias could write encyclopedias on not understanding jokes and being offended by them, but clearly Edward should be the publisher of that lengthy tome.
Honestly. What was there to be so snippy about, anyway? It wasn't as if she was saying he couldn't have been with Graciela, it should be taken as a compliment! And she'd complimented him. Twice! Boys usually flustered like mad when a girl said they were nice, and cute. Maybe he didn't like being called cute? She should have said handsome. Handsome was a better description anyway; Emmeline could believe that Edward was insulted by her choice of wording and--
She shot a somewhat hard look at him from the corner of her eye before going back to the manuscript, finding herself completely worked up and offended even though she was to blame for the inappropriateness, or whatever he was going on about. Emmeline couldn't even find a second to question why she was so irked by it, and twisted her chair toward the wall to lean fully on her desk and away from Edward.
