Sisse wasn't entirely sure what to make of that comment. Did he mean the company of owls over their classmates? It wouldn't surprise her given that Cam and Sloane and most of her friends throughly disliked Mr. Selwyn and he them, but perhaps he just didn't like people. But then there was a brief look he had given her - did he mean her company? What did one say that wasn't dismissive or too presumptive in such a situation. "I could see that." She replied mildly.

"Oh no, I couldn't." Sisse found the words sliding out of her lips before she could truly think them through and followed them up with, "It is a very kind offer, but I'd feel as if I were intruding."
