Had Lucy just...kissed him? Well, not kissed kissed, but it definitely qualified by the definition he knew. It was thoroughly unexpected and for a moment he didn't know how to react. So he just stood there with a fairly neutral expression, one arm slack at his side and the other hand still in his pocket. Luckily he recovered fairly quickly - it was probably akin to what he'd just done to her, unthinkingly. They were both stressed out.
He offered a small, lopsided smile, and a quiet but nervous laugh. Not how he'd wanted to respond, but there it was.
"Well..." Nikolas said. He felt very stupid for suddenly not being able to formulate a sentence. For Merlin's sake, she hadn't done anything to him. "Good. I'd feel like I'm missing out. No one else I know studying that."
Of course, she knew that. With that, Nikolas strode towards the door, feeling a bit lighter. At least this aspect of his life wasn't going to be thrown through a loop.
