"Yes indeed..." He murmurs, getting up and moving off, but not before patting her between the ears.

This only fuel's Sadie's new determination, and she takes a deep breath to prepare herself for what's to come. Her eyes scan the page as quickly as she can while still maintaining her understanding of what she's reading. Meanwhile, her hands set themselves to work, scribbling down anything of even minor importance in her notes as she flips between reading and writing.
"Uhhhm..." He jerks his head back down. "Sorry! I didn't mean to stare!" He groans, covering his face with his hands.
"Umm... No... Don't know why I was staring..." He mutters, shaking his head as if he's annoyed with himself. Sadie gets the feeling that it's probably his first time being around a girl for this long...
It isn't long before Matthias tries to flirt...
"So Umm... Tell me a bit about yourself, Sadie. I think it's time we took a break, anyway." He says, shutting the book and rubbing his eyes. "Also, I need a break from looking at a bunch of scary, twisted, things..."

She shrugs. "Oh, there's nothing too interesting to tell. I was born to a big family, because the hoe rabbits I call mom and dad couldn't stop getting it on. They could've lost track of their own kids with how many there were and how busy they were with other things, swear to gods. I grew up in the same village, kicking the can around town until the unrest in the world scared me into getting my shit together. So, after mercenary work was a bust, I ended up here. What about you?"
"Um... Well, I just had a mom. Dad was killed in a cave collapse... No siblings." He mutters, rubbing the back of his neck. "Local monastery took us in, got us back on our feet and all. I decided to become a scholar and help mom with whatever money I could get." He murmurs.
"Uh, yeah. Yeah I suppose we are. I mean, we've got food to eat and a roof over our heads. That's enough, right?" He says with a shrug.
He smiles a little. "Well, if we're happy to he alive, that means we're living, aren't we?" He says, his cute little bat teeth flashing in the light.
"Right..." He murmurs, looking down into his book as well.
Tevoran comes around after a while, and raises his eyebrows when he sees that they're still there. "Wow. In case you didn't know, dinner is going to be served in about three minutes." He says with a wry chuckle.

"Oh yeah." He says, grinning.
"Well, I'd suggest you run along." Tevoran says, shaking his head at Sadie's pun.

Tevoran winces as she just roughly stuffs the books back where they were, and walks over to arrange them more carefully as they rush out.
They manage to make it to dinner just before grace is said, and see an open pair of seats next to the waving Korel.

Feeling bold, Sadie grabs Matthias by the hand and rushes along to claim the seats, taking the one nearest Korel as she plops down tiredly. "Whoo. Hey guys. Just spent the last few hours working on Tevoran's homework with this nut over here. What have you all been up to?"
Matthias yelps as she grabs him by the arm, and stumbles along behind her as she pulls him along, then takes a seat next to her, the black fur on his face mercifully hiding the beet red blush on his face.
"Aw shit. Completely forgot that. But then again, he didn't say when we had to submit it, right?" Korel asks.
"He said end of the week." Matthias says.
"Oh. That's in two days. Fuck." Jack groans.
"You're famous. He won't ask for yours!" Amara teases.
"Oh please. I can't even decide my weapon of choice!"

"Ha, joke's on you, Mr. "Sword and Human Canine Conflict" pales in the presence of the could be descendent of Fleetwood the Wise." She taps herself on the chest, holding the proud facade up for a moment before breaking into laughter. "That'd be the inventor of hopscotch in case you didn't know, which you probably didn't."
They blink at her before sighing and facepalming. "Really? The inventor of hopscotch? Who even plays it anymore!?" Jack asks, shrugging.
"I used to play hopscotch as a kid. Pretty fun." Matthias murmurs.
"Well... That's one." Amara says with a chuckle.
"Well... That's one." Amara says with a chuckle.
