[Herbert watches his face, then smiles to himself. He doesn't expect any more attention from Eriq for awhile, considering, but he does fill with a warm (and slightly smug) feeling that he'd worked hard to get something that his friend would actually appreciate. It always felt good to be right. And the smile on the Slytherin's face was an interesting bonus.]

You can keep that one, actually.

What? [Eriq tears his eyes away, looking up at Herbert like he just grew a second head] What, no! I can't! It's your uncle's book! He gave it to you! It would be selfish of me to keep it

[preanimator]

Don't be stupid, I got it for you. It's interesting, certainly, but it's your area of interest, not mine. So it would be foolish for me to keep it if you're going to get more use out of it.

[eighttimeshandy]

But-! It's a precious, priceless heirloom! [Don't be fooled, Herbert, he's only protesting because that's what you're supposed to do when being given something so rare and obscure. He really wants this treatise like burning] I couldn't possibly rob you of this treasure!

[preanimator]

[rolls his eyes, and lightly shoves the taller boy's shoulder] Are the dramatics really necessary? Honestly, Eriq. Just take the damn thing and say thank you.

[He's smiling just a little, though.]

[eighttimeshandy]

Well, if you insist... But if I take it, you're not allowed to complain about the money I spent on the stupid mugs, okay? [Yeah, it's in his satchel already. Now you have no choice? Mwahahaha]

[preanimator]

[narrows his eyes, then sighs, and picks up another brownie to nibble on] Fine. But you still haven't said thank you.

[eighttimeshandy]

[Victory for Eriq!]

Thank you. I can't wait to get away from all these people so I can read it in peace.

[preanimator]

You could read it in here, if you want. No one ever wants to come in to bother me.
