Aideen had been awake since about eight that morning -- it was the customary time for her to get up, and even when she could sleep later? She couldn't. Her body just woke her up at eight every single morning, unless she had to get up earlier.

She'd chalked it up to being a morning person.

The weekends were great, because they gave her time to write and enjoy her relaxation around the castle. She studied, sometimes, but most of the time, she utilized the weekends for writing. Writing stories, both fiction and non, or columns about books that she'd read, or just anything that came to mind.

Some of her best work tended to be rambling.

This particular morning? She was working on more of that rambling. But this morning was different than some other mornings, because she'd noticed Jesse when the girl had come out to go running.

Which had set her mind thinking about the Gryffindor. Which meant that by the time Jesse actually came back around and sat down, Aideen had a good two pieces of parchment of rambling about herJumping and looking

So apparently she had managed to surprise her, Jesse thought with a grin when she noted the way that Aideen jumped when she sat down. It was kind of adorable, really, the way she looked all shocked by it or something.

"Hey, you don't have to look quite so startled," Jesse teased her with a laugh, before lifting an arm and mimicking smelling at her armpits. "I don't smell that bad, do I?" She made a face at herself, and then shrugged, dropping her arm down again with a small laugh.

"Seriously, though, you don't mind, right?" she asked, because if she did smell that bad, then a shower would jump waaaaay high on her list of priorities. Gross.

Smell bad?

No. No, Jesse didn't smell bad. In fact, she smelled like Jesse and running and sweat and... oh, Merlin, there came that blush. Aideen's cheeks tinged with a light pink colour as she shook her head. She didn't trust herself to speak at that particular moment.

Looking down at the paper for a moment, she finally managed to say, "Of course not. I love talking to you..." and then she grinned. "Smelly or not."

Teasing was a way to keep herself from thinking about the things that made her blush. "Besides, we don't get to talk as often as we should," she added softly, smiling a bit gentler as well.

Jesse raised an eyebrow slightly when Aideen seemed to blush at that question. That wouldn't have been a reaction she would have expected -- but then, it wasn't the first time that Aideen had had some reaction that she wouldn't have expected. She supposed she should almost expect that at this point, which at least made sense to her.

She laughed, though, when Aideen basically called her smelly anyway. "Well, that's settled then," she said with a shake of her head. "We'll talk and make up for lost talking time. Sounds like a pretty good plan to me."

There was a pause, and then she was smiling in a different sort of way -- less teasing and more just a smile. "So, you should let me read some of what you write sometime." That might have seemed kind of random, but it wasn't to Jesse; she was curious.
