Alicia frowned at his rather sudden response and huffed, turning the page of her book rather hard. "Well if you're going to answer me like that, then forget it," she whispered back and turned her attention back to her notes and book. But she really did need him for something. She need to borrow some ink since her ink well was running a bit on the low side. She made herself a note to refill it before classes, but had somehow made it through without needing to.
She would have asked Madame Pince, but she always looked so cross when you had to ask for something like that. Like you should always be prepared.
Sighing, Alicia turned her attention back to Fred. "Can I borrow some ink? Mine's low."
