Luca got quite a fright as Maya came down the stairs, he stood up and looked at her expectantly.
"She's coming down, but she seemed a bit upset since she caught you laughing at whatever."
Luca grinned, "Yes! Maya you're the best!" He wrapped his arms round her small frame and lifted her clean into the air, putting her down as she began spluttering.
"Yes, yes, I know," She giggled, "Now can I go back to class?"
"Yes you may." Luca watched her leave and plopped back down into a chair.
Then he spotted what he thought was Emily, wrapped up in robes and a scarf, Luca huffed slightly and stood up to greet her, she seemed very uncomfortable here with a few lingering ravenclaws around. Without a word luca scooped up her hand and tugged her through the commonroom to a small doorway leading to a room meant for chess, but wasn't in use. They came to a halt and luca focused on Emily's just-barely exposed eyes.
"I'm sorry." He began, "I never should have laughed and I'm totally regretting it." he gently brushed away the hair she seemed intent on keeping as a curtain between them, "And, well, since we're skipping class anyways, a figured a few more rules broken couldn't do any harm huh? Lets do something fun!" He grinned, wanting to take her mind off of the prank, he knew how to handle mysery as he'd been through so much when his little brother died, it was him his sister turned to, not their parents, and it was him who had to hold her when she cried, and work so hard to get her to smile again, almost filling the role as her twin completely so she would always have someone there for her, always have someone to turn to. All the while bottling up his own emotions for her.
"What do ya say?" He smiled hopefully, not able to tell if she was about to burst into tears.
