Originally they were meeting for Herbology tutoring, but Claire had been terribly odd lately it was starting to freak Art out, and she was even wondering the girl would show up. Art was never one for social skills, great with boys, and shitty with mates, but Claire was usually well laid back, that's why they got along so well.

Art was quite puzzled but she decided to wait and see. So she sat at the corner, and took out her newest obsession, Shakespeare, not exactly new, but it was exciting to say the least, and it was comforting to read such a master. She buried her head through the pages of <i>Otelo</i> letting the master of world envelope her mind apart from immediate trouble, was she in trouble? She didn't even know, so far all signs said yes.

Tic Tack, now it was all left to Claire.

At first Art’s nerves eased down a bit at Claire’s response, at least she didn’t flinch or acted rude right away. She left her copy of Otelo aside and took seat next to Claire, putting a prudential distance between each, but not enough to seem displeased. She wasn’t really, just mixed up and a bit irritated about the whole deal.

She didn’t really see what had made Claire’s expression change so drastically, it seemed to come from her bag, but she wasn’t gonna take a peek, she’d have to make good use of her patience. As Claire movements got harsh Art just got defensive, which probably wasn’t a good idea, but she was getting angry at her for not even explaining her.

“Okay…” She really should use her head more than her heart now, but well, it wasn’t that easy. “It’s rather ~~easy~~...” She said putting special emphasis on the word easy, she wasn’t sure of what was she implying, but she was already getting uncomfortable and her words must have sound a bit offensive, a girl can say a thousand things behind one little tiny innocent word, what she was saying? Hell knows but Claire caught her meaning better than herself.

"If I found it easy, I wouldn't be here, would I?" Claire shot back, faster than she could've hexed the other girl. But what Art had said was probably true; Claire blushed in embarrassment at not being able to pick things up in this subject as fast as everyone else.

No matter what her marks were at least she was applying herself the best way she knew how. She had a goal, and if this was one of the obstacles in trying to achieve it then so be it. She'd be damned if she was going to let this subject beat her.

Art was thrown aback by Claire’s response, she’d forgotten how fast the other girl could be, and if she was pissed off at her already, well things could always get nasty. But she tried to focus on the tutoring subject, it was well easy on her book so she’d do her best, luckily they could get past it with only cold indifference.

“Its all in the dirty really, Snargaluff needs some special care, right dirt, and caring development its enough to breed them right, it’s a bit like walking on egg shells though, can’t be too rude and raw in them, gotta be gentle and all” Okay so that was pretty basic, but she didn’t know how lost was Claire on the subject, she didn’t want to seem like she was assuming Claire was stupid either, but it was pretty basic stuff.

She was trying to sound casual and look confident, as if there was nothing going on between them. Everything would be rather calm as long as Claire failed to notice the little love mark she had on her neck… She was now almost sure that her strange attitude was all about Wes, and she didn’t even wanted to think about her reaction to such a vivid image of their ‘encounter’.

As soon as Art starting speaking Claire had had enough. All she wanted was to leave; to never have been there at all. Although the other girl was only trying to help, Claire felt like she was being patronised and indulged.

Before Art had even finished what she was saying Claire had started rolling up her parchment, dumping it -- along with her ink and quill -- into her bag. She stood up, the scraping her chair made was a harsh echo in the now silent room. "I can't do this," she muttered, picking up her bag and heading towards the door. "Not now."

She was blown away by Claire’s sudden change of mind; it wasn’t just a change of mind: she was bailing out on her.

Art now felt insulted, she’d had rescheduled her afternoon in order to have time for the tutoring, and she’d picked the books and all. It wasn’t bloody fair, and Claire was acting too bloody strange, whatever the fuck it was she needed to solve it out. She grabbed the girl's wrist to prevent her from just running off.

“Claire what the fuck is going on with you?” So Art was usually tamed and patient, but come on, this was getting ridiculous, if it was about Wes she could well damn say it and end with the whole deal. She hoped the question had enough implications for Claire to get that she was getting pissed off, and that whatever the fuck it was it had to end now.

Claire yelped when Art restrained her, bruised flesh still tender. She moved towards the other girl to try and alleviate the pain.

"Fuck, Art." A hiss of words as she jerked her arm back, rubbing the skin gently. "Nothing is going on with me," she answered, eyes dark and angry. Claire wasn't angling for a confrontation; in reality she thought that bringing up the reason for her mood was petty and immature. But that had hurt she was riled up enough to want to make Art know that.

Art removed her hand as soon as she heard Claire's yelp, fuck, how could she have guessed there would be a bruise in that exact spot?

The girl was clearly furious, eyeing her like she'd just hit her or something, and Art wasn't going to allow that. They were bloody mates, and she was so pissed off now, that whatever it was she'd pop it out, it would be like a band-aid right? Quick and painless? Okay maybe not but she'd be angry the rest of the day if she didn't give it a try.

"So all this isn't about me and Wes screwing?" it probably wasn't to prudential, who cared? things were already messed.
