He fancied her! So it hadn't just been her mind and her hopes running away with her. She must still have some powers of observation! RELIEF (alleviation, lightening, satisfaction)!

'Now would be a good time to actually LOOK at him!' her brain shouted at her, and she slowly lifted her head. She didn't even have anything to worry about anymore! He fancied her! Why was she so hopeless (pathetic, abject, oh bloody hell no more synonyms!).

As her eyes finally locked on his face, her nerves began to calm a bit, and she grinned. He was smiling. He looked a bit nervous, as nervous as she felt, but he was still smiling.

"You know what, Seb love? I think I'd like to go on a date with you," she said, wrinkling up her nose in amusement.

It suddenly seemed like an odd sort of thing to say, but... it was a natural progression of things, wasn't it?

It couldn't possibly be much different than shopping for quills and buying books. It was just spending time together, and that was what she liked most.

Spending time with Sebastian, who she fancied. Sebastian, who fancied her. Lovely.

[sebbyrivera]

A bit relieved as he realized Rylie was back to being amused at everything (instead of stutteringly awkward which had been... well, slighty funny at points), Sebastian grinned himself. Though the idea of a 'date' was slightly mind boggling. Hah, mind boggling, hah.

...in fact, he hadn't really thought past the kitchens. Actually, he hadn't thought about the kitchens before the kitchens. So he should probably catch up with his very lagging thought process. Shocking really.

The point was not to think of it as a date... maybe? Because what did people do on dates, he had no idea. Whenever he saw couples they sort of fumbled around with their hands together... or if he listened to Juhi they visited the Restricted Section together. Hur. But what could they do? What did they do?

He didn't think quill shopping or Cluedo would be quite appropriate.

"Er, yes, alright," laughing nervously, he hurriedly added, "That was meant to sound more enthusiastic you know. Me being... the enthusiast. Um, I just, don't know what people do. Besides the Restricted Section but I think that's only Gryffs and um... no." There there Sebby, nice honestness, yes. A bit confused honestness, but honesty nonetheless.

[rylielogan]

Enthusiast? Perhaps not. She was going to tell him how disappointed she was that she hadn't really sensed any winking, and he hadn't smirked in a bit, but instead she raised an eyebrow at him.

How many Gryffindors did he know running off to the Restricted Section? Though she was curious about the books located there, she couldn't imagine it was a good place for a date. Unless he meant..... nrgh. That was... well, that wasn't a bad idea, but NO. No, no.

"I honestly dunno. Maybe we should consult the book?" she said teasingly, winking at him in a cheesy sort of manner.

Obviously she'd tossed that book after they'd read it, but he didn't know that. She laughed a bit at her own ridiculous statement and then stood up. The lack of cushion was definitely taking its toll.

"I don't think what you actually do on the date is the point of it all. Is there anything you've been wanting to do, but haven't?" Rylie asked him, and brushed herself off. Dust was collecting on her robes.

Sebby didn't really just do something on impulse, so maybe he had some ideas. Though, he had kissed her first, with no wanrings or signs, just... kissed her. Hmn. Full of surprises. Exciting.

[sebbyrivera]

The booook. Sebastian had a suspicious feeling that that book had a little more to do with the kitchens than just him going mad for a moment. Which still didn't exactly endear it to him...

"What? You mean you haven't already? Tsk tsk, I thought you read the whole thing back to front. Don't you keep it under your pillow then?" he asked, seeing her wink and raising her his patented attempt at a smirk. For some reason, that bloody book wasn't as awkward as it had been a week ago. Odd.

Where to date though... Sebastian gave Rylie an incredulous sort of look, as if she didn't know he spent his time alternating between the Library and Common Room. With brief forays into the Great Hall and Classrooms.

"Um, no?" he replied tentatively. Highly uncreative but the whole elf scenario had been enough excitement for one week, honestly.

"So the library's a no? Because... you know... Pince and everything?" Ohhh yes he was smirking again. Nevermind he'd actually brought up the library as an even remote option for a date.

[rylielogan]

The smirk was back, and Rylie was very glad indeed. This started to feel like the Rylie and Sebby that made such a fantastic pair. Not that the whole brain fog thing wasn't enjoyable, but there was more time for that later. Or at least she hoped so.

"Oh, of course I have, but I didn't get a chance to memorize it. As soon as I finished, I handed it off to be circulated around the school. Felt it was best everyone got some good advice," Rylie stated quickly, happy to have her wit returned to her.

After a moment she added, "but don't worry! I remembered to write Property of Sebastian Rivera on the inside cover first. You'll get it back."

She patted his head softly, twice, as she was standing up and he was still sitting and she couldn't think of anything else to do. She was still trying to process the bit about the library. He wasn't serious, was he? Funny thing was, she probably wouln't mind that at all.

"Oh, I'd prefer the library now that you mention it. I think it's about time I made Pince jealous of me," Rylie stated, giggling just slightly.

Oh, Pince. What a marvelous thing she'd missed out on. Rylie would be happy to have Sebastian around to arrange books, but because he'd be around.

"But, er... I suppose we can't wait until the next Hogsmeade weekend. That's just... too long," she continued.

Far too long.

[sebbyrivera]

Oh hur hur. Sebastian gave Rylie an intensely even look and crossed his arms. She wouldn't do that... right? No one was that mad. And no one had asked him about it.... um, SO NO.

"Very thoughtful of you, really. I'm sure I'll be an absolute hit amongst the 3rd year girls, ehhh?" wrinkling his nose in amusement, he then blinked in surprise as he received two pats on the head. Well, now he felt silly again. And he couldn't help it, he laughed, covering his mouth to try to stop. He still sensed some nervousness lingering in the back of his head, but he wasn't going to mind it.

Standing up as well, his laughter died off and he shuffled his feet, wondering whether to pick up his bag or do something else?...

"Oh, well, good luck with that. Pince is a tough egg you know. Has to be because of the um..." Sebastian trailed off, and thought briefly how terribly odd this whole situation was for him, though he really didn't seem to mind all that much, "...shelves. With their books."

Blinking, he stared back at Rylie and smiled genuinely. He picked his bag off the floor and straightened again.

[rylielogan]

Did Rylie even know many third year girls? Not particularly. She was, however, amused by the face he'd just made, and laughed along with him.

"If I recall correctly, you mentioned Pince had moved on. Or maybe that was just wishful thinking on my part," Rylie pointed out and shook her head.

She had to be tough because of the books? Well, actually, with the way people of the non-studyaholic variety seemed to treat the books in the library, you'd have to be tough to defend them and their arrangement. Perhaps Sebby was even more brave than she gave him credit for. It was enough to make her want to kiss him.

So she did. On the cheek. And then stared at the bag he'd just picked up. Had he been planning on leaving? Right then....

"You just... never cease to astound me," she said with a shrug and wondered if she should pick up her things as well.

It was sort of dusty, and cramped, and the stool was transfigured from parchment and looking pathetic, but.... so what? They were talking!

((Um, I killed the artistic icons the first time and made the horrible typo of 'shook his head' instead of 'shook her head'. O_o so artistic icons are back for safety.))
