A smirk touched Karin's lips as felt Heiral's magic approaching. She shivered slightly as it washed over her - nowhere near the effect that Sasuke's magic had, but good enough that she falt that instinctual need to spend more time around it rise up a little.
Still humming, she flicked a page with relish and discovered another out-dating theory. Reaching for the post-it's, she scrawled the correction out and stuck it onto the page.
Now there really was something strange going on. What in the hell was a girl--the dumbest in the school, some had said--doing with post-its, sticking them in a book about dark magic with notes on the side?
This was just plain bizarre. Had he misjudged her?
"You go quite far in order to garner attention, Carmody, I will give you that."
Aaaand there it was. Hook, line, and now to work on the sinker. She'd caught his interest now, though, and that was the main thing.
"I don't know what you're talking about," she sang. One of her nails caught her eye as she went to turn the page, and she scowled at it. The polish was chipped. "Oh, brilliant. Just brilliant," she groused, pulling out the spare bottle she kept with her at all times to touch it up. Waving her hand around a little to dry it, she continued to flicked through the pages of the heavy tome.
Was this girl for real? She was messing around with such an old tome and using nail polish around it? But those were definitely notes, and the book was most definitely something he hadn't seen in the student area of the library.
The Restricted Section, then?
It took all his willpower to not push the book away from her in fear of her ruining it with her own childishness.
"Unless you are reading this seriously, of course."
And if she was, then he could only wonder in just what condition the other books from that section were in.
Karin blew on her nail, and then brushed it lightly to make sure it was actually dry before tucking the bottle away. Much better.
"Why don't you explain it to me, Heiral?" she asked, with more than a little hint of invitation to her voice. She rolled her eyes at his second comment. "Of course I'm not reading it seriously. The stupid thing's all wrong - if I was reading it seriously, I'd end up dead." A pause. "Or worse, blonde."
The invitation in her voice was apparent, though Delita himself wasn't used to such attentions. No, his cheeks could only tint on the slightest shade of red--so slight that it was barely noticeable unless you really looked--and sighed.
He was about to say something concerning how she was just doing it to lure out Uchiha and he would appreciate it if she didn't tease him, but the second comment stopped the words from coming.
"All wrong."
From that, it was as if she truly did understand the material. But why then would the dumbest girl in school--allegedly--spend so much time hiding any bits of intelligence she ever had to most, and then openly act towards HIM that she had more than just fluff, Sasuke, and nail polish remover between her ears?
Either this in itself was a trick or he had just caught her redhanded.
He sat down next to her though, in any case, looking over at the pages.
"Wrong, you say? How so?"
He was baiting her, leading her on. He was acting conversational enough, but that was just on the outside...
