Averill Hammershod
Averill was pretty much oblivious to Ella becoming upset, because he was busy being grumpy about being called away. When her voice almost faded away mid sentence, however, he looked over his shoulder at her.
She looked like she was about to cry.
He had a brief moment of panic, because dwarves don't really do those crying emotional things. Females and males alike- he hardly ever had seen them upset. It was a dangerous life in an undermountain, so they were stereotypically stoic for a reason.
"Yes! IWILLseeyouonMonday!" He blurted out, then took a breath, turning to face her and having one more stab at making her feel better before his nerve failed.
"You will definitely be able to catch up because you're smart and dedicated and pretty."
He immediately spun on his heel and powerwalked out of the room.
What does pretty have to do with studying!? GUH!
