Well, okay, that was true, but he couldn't always be busy, surely. There must have been times when he wasn't doing anything in particular and she was just not there. Didn't she have things to do as well? It seemed highly unlikely that it would only be his fault that their schedules managed to have very little overlap.. He could practically feel the heat of the look she was certainly giving him, even in the dark, and he simultaneously felt unnerved and comforted by it. At least it was familiar. Ashya was familiar, even if some of the things that she made him do sometimes were not. Like breaking into the storeroom at ridiculous hours of the night.
'When is that anyway?' he asked, glad that they were finally leaving and that he didn't have to physically drag her out, but not necessarily wanting the conversation to die either. After all they were still in the dark.. She had let go of his shoulder by now, and had started moving ahead without him, so he quickly made to follow her. 'Your Harrowing, I mean.' For all the time that he had spent here, you would have assumed him to be more familiar with the practices taken by the mages, but for the most part, he was really in a similar level as those who lived outside the Tower. He wasn't familiar with some aspects because they were either secret, uninteresting, or he just didn't remember. 'And who's Seth again?' Like that.
She sort of asked and sort of confirmed that he wasn't going to tell anyone about their little excursion, and at first he just shook his head before realising that that was really sort of silly, and vocalised something for her. 'Of course not.' He didn't want to get in trouble any more than she did - actually probably even less than she did.. - and this.. Well it didn't seem all that dangerous. No need for other people to know about it, he supposed. 'We didn't actually take anything, and I don't think that lock or that potion were really.. Valuable. I guess.' Whatever. He just wanted to go back to sleep at this point.
