Choosing to ignore Blaise's comment about his entitlement to...whatever it was he though he deserved, Nikolas nodded slowly. His expression was neutral, but he still felt a bit prickled by Blaise's tone. For Merlin's sake, he rarely spoke to his housemate outside of Quidditch. It certainly didn't seem reason for hostility.
"Yeah, picking up some things for my sister," Nikolas explained, holding up his choices so far. He didn't mention that he was picking up some other things as well.
He was glad Blaise mentioned the retrials, and hadn't noticed til then that Blaise hadn't been there. Nikolas hadn't really cared much if the rest of the team showed up - they didn't need to be there terribly, and he'd left it optional. Made things go more quickly, at least.
Putting a hand in his pocket, he said, "No obligation, actually, but since you did. They went fairly well. Weren't too many people, which was good, made it easier to weed out those who wouldn't make the cut."
