“What?” Paxton said confused with furrowed his brows at her immediate submission to his slight temper. Was she alright? Why wasn’t she arguing back? He looked to the floor briefly before stopping once again and looking back up toward her though this time, his expression was more worried and calculating. Had someone upset her? He didn’t like to think so!
See if he upset her, it was okay because they both (kind of) knew he was joking and he would make sure she was alright eventually but if someone else upset her then it was obviously because they were bullying her and that just was not nice! Not in the slightest.
“Are you okay?” He asked with his teeth tugging on the inside of his lip, “Because you don’t seem okay. Has somebody upset you?” Paxton’s tone turned a little as he scrunched up his nose and glared at the students walking past, “Was it, erm, Mr. Bulstrode?” Paxton nodded, “Because he smells funny.”
Paxton wasn’t entirely sure why he felt this sort of… defensiveness over Flora Mulciber. He just kind of did and accepted the fact. He considered them friends even if they argued with one another more often than enjoyed each others company.
“And also, why have you not been talking to me? I keep trying to talk to you!” And… He was back to glaring at her.
This was a whirlwind of emotions.
