Listening to Daphne's words and tone of voice, Blaise could tell that she was attempting to make him feel bad. It was to be expected, especially since he had taken everything in a different way then need be. If the male could take back his inital reaction that she had returned to Hogwarts without him, then that was exactly what he'd do. She meant more to him then he even cared to actually be vocal about. There weren't many people that he honestly let into his life and know every inch of the little things. She was definietly one of those small amount of others, which the woman knew whole heartedly and sometimes it was quite evident that it was used for her benefit. At least, that what he thought at times. If those thoughts were true though, Blaise wouldn't complain at all.
"Now you know that's not true," he replied moments later. Blaise knew fully well that Daphne didn't think that he searched out for her just to have another row again. For the most part, they usually got along fairly well, while tossing in a bit of flirtatious words in their everyday conversation when no one was really around. If it was up to the male though, they would consistantly do that publicly. Maybe then the entire arranged marriage thing that Daphne found herself with that daft Vaisey kid would be broken rather easily. It wasn't that she truly wanted any of that to go through. "Don't deny to yourself that you missed me, love."
He felt as though he had searched throughly for Daphne, despite the fact that she stated that there was a chance that he might not have. "Right. Even though I've searched the common room a few times, asked numberous younger slytherin girls to search your side of the dorms, and all of the places that we spend time in," he stopped talking for a moment, pursing his lips as well and kept his gaze upon her without moving much. "And I haven't looked hard enough?" It was just a simple question basically letting Daphne know that he had indeed searched for her. Of course, it was more out of the fact that he had missed her.
As the conversation turned about the book within her hands, Blaise lifted an eyebrow. Something about the word fascinating that rolled off her tongue made the male think differently for just a moment. It took him a bit to shake the negative thoughts from his mind. He couldn't understand though how Daphne would honestly think that something about muggles would actually be interesting. Of course, Blaise had said the word just a few seconds ago, but he didn't exactly mean it. She had made herself look so intensely at the pages that was the word that popped into his mind. "Well, why don't you just use the word animal? It does fit them nicely," he spoke in a calm manner.
Within those few words, Blaise had managed to reach across towards the book and close it shut in almost a random sort of way. It didn't take him too much longer to slide it away from their vicinity, all in one swift movement. "No more book," he said, leaning in towards Daphne's neck and placed a few kisses upon the soft skin of her neck. Hopefully that would be considered an apology without speaking such words. And after all, the small action was something he had wanted do accomplish since she had caught his eye walking into the common room.
