Terry took the tea and took a sip, sighing in pleasure. Tea always either calmed him down or made him feel better. "Yes, but fourth years do the blushing and note passing, which is effectively where Ernie and I are now, hence the comparison." He snickered. "Well, other than the x-rated thoughts I've been having." He only blushed a little when he said it.
Ah, Terry thought, finally realizing what had been putting Stephen in such a bad mood. "Adrian's working too much?" he asked, his voice sympathetic. "Well, see what works for him. I'm sure Ernie and I," he really liked the sound of that, "can work around his schedule more easily."
Terry laughed. "Well, I do see the potential in that," he said. "So I guess I won't whine too much if you two only stay twenty minutes or less. Besides, I'll have Ernie there, so I probably won't even miss you."
