"No, I mean yeah, I'm fine, I just...something in my throat," he said, clearing his throat again for emphasis. God, he hoped she hadn't noticed him staring, or maybe she'd forgotten now because of the idiotic mess he'd made of an excuse.

"Are you sure?" she asked, shifting as she brought her feet up, tucking them under her skirt. She had noticed that he had been looking at her rather intensely, but she had thought nothing of it. She twirled a lock of hair around her finger as she waited, wondering if he would give her another excuse or tell her the truth.

"Im sure. I'm fine." Silver kept his gaze averted from Cassie, trying to keep himself from slipping up again. Besides, he could still see her face in his mind's eye, and that would have to be enough. "I was just...I probably ought to head back to the castle." It was a chicken way out, but the nerves were back, and they were just going to get worse the more he tried to repress them.

Cassie sighed and nodded. "Okay, I have some work I need to catch up on anyway" she said, she stood up and dusted herself off, stretching her lithe body as she had been sitting for a while. "I'm sure I'll see you around" she said with a smile.

Silver couldn't resist a last look that maybe lasted longer than he'd meant it. He managed to look away, though, and stood, clutching his notebook in his right hand. "Okay, well, by then. I'll, like, see you around, right?" He lifted the book in salute, then, thinking better of it, lowered the book again.

Cassie hid a grin and nodded. "Yeah, that would be nice" she said before she made her way back up to the confines of the castle, and the mountain of her waiting work.

Silver let out a long breath at the return of silence, the return of his personal space and his ability to think. He was madly, deeply infatuated with Cassie by now, but God, it was exhausting keeping up conversation. Still, Silver didn't settle down again. He'd said he was heading back to the castle, so he headed back to the castle, albeit via a long, twisted route through the forest.
