Quistis nodded, still somewhat dazed by the Gryffindor's apology. She allowed him to lead her toward a bench, and sat.

Quickly composing herself, the blonde adjusted her glasses and patted the seat next to her, hoping Ikkaku would sit so she wouldn't have to stare up at him.

"It's not strange, I guess," she said after a moment. "Well, actually it is. You're the last person I'd ever expect to have a conversation about that. Merlin knows I've tried." She smiled slightly, her expression taking on an air of annoyed fondness. "What did you both say?"

The Gryffindor had already started agitatedly pacing by the time Quistis had patted the bench and he looked over as if the motion had distracted him from his thoughts. Blinking a moment, he remained standing as she spoke before slinging himself down next to her.

"Yeah, but Yumichika said I was bein' a dick." He glared at the ground as he spoke, elbows resting by his knees. "Told me he was almost sorted into Slytherin, yeah? An' I said it wouldn' have changed nothin', but he said I was talkin' shit." He scratched the back of his head awkwardly. Ikkaku really wasn't good at dealing with this stuff. Right now he just wanted to work out the aggitation with a duel or something, but that didn't seem right either. Damn it.

Putting a hand over her mouth to disguise her sudden smile, Quistis had to look away from Ikkaku so he would not see her laugh and take offense. Dick, indeed.

"Yumichika was almost a Slytherin?" she asked, genuinely surprised. The Hufflepuff was so devoted in his friendship to Ikakku, sometimes she felt she'd never know her boyfriend as well as the other boy did. But she could also see the Slytherin in him, his vanity and superiority and self-centeredness were all traits that ran counter to the Hufflepuff values.

She glanced at Ikkaku, expression serious. "I think he may have been right."

It was a good think Ikkaku missed the smile, because he was somewhere between confused and agitated, and on-edge as he was at the moment it wouldn't take a whole lot to set him off.

"'Pparently," he replied. A comment about Yumichika being different from Slytherins was on the tip of his tongue but he bit it back, remembering his chat from the day before. What he just didn't say, followed by what Quistis did just say, made him return her look with a heavy side of guilt.

"Shit. That ain't good." He bowed his head and sighed, venting out his frustration in his breath. "I don't get it, Quistis."
