Proscribed Grief
The girl's explanation left Thomas with the impression she sought a place in this story, to make a difference. Yet hesitant to offer an exchange of information, prioritizing the secrecy of her sources over the boy's intel. It did not end there, leaving the boy to justify her skulking by providing the reason for her inclusion himself.
It left the boy's eyelids progressively extending to widen at the girl's audacity. True to her house, both negative and positive stereotypes. Already displaying the courage of a lion, but also the vacuity. Thomas couldn't subdue a chuckle to escape his lips, a notion of disrespect for not only her approach, but the expectations she held for this encounter. Oh, how he would enjoy to shatter them in his palm, and walk away.
As her intentions settled in his mind, a silver lining formed. For all her faults, Evelynn has chosen the course of action. How many of their peers could say the same? Identifying a threat and collecting information was one thing, but to seek out Thomas himself was the type of move that implied a serious approach. Not dawdling on the outskirts, sitting on what she knew and unapologetically gossiping to others. When word reached her, she confronted him. At the very least, he could reward her for it.
"I had no hand in the Badger's fire, then again...sometimes we don't know when we're being used, or what for. If you actually intend to do what you say, the fires that plague our campus have no place in this discussion. These...lackeys', a kind description you've given, are mostly unaware of what they do to further their goals. Once they understand how you operate, they place you where they will. "
Thomas' eyes flickered down to one of many pieces of wealth arriving after his indoctrination. The badge pinned on his robes left him skeptical, curious as to why he's chosen over candidates with exceeding reputation, and a more personable demeanors. Of course there is the argument Slytherin house desires a stern student figure to represent them, or that Jensen is secretly ruthless, appointing a low-life to spite her students.
Thomas' prior response was the reward granted for Evelynn's devious tactics, but it is all she would receive. Her opportunity to learn more beginning and ending with her refusal to return the favor. That is...until she mentioned a name of familiarity, intertwined in every ounce of the boy's story since he arrived at this castle in the fall of 2019. Erin Ryan came up quite often, and as per usual, Thomas would offer a grimace of discontent upon hearing her name.
Ironic, the boy's task would not be completed today due to evading another. A track star in the making, running from his issues now commonplace in his responsive thought process. "Well, that settles it then. You can ask her your questions." Thomas has never seen Evelynn with Erin, additionally knowing the part-veela rarely shares the company of others, let alone a Gryffindor. He would not doubt the information provided came from Erin, but the insinuation seemed off.
"Until next time, Decipio. At the very least, Thomas opened the door to imply this was not the last they'd speak on this topic.
