Greyson’s smirk turned into an equally soft, friendly smile as the girl spoke his name. She seemed flustered. The young man’s smile faltered slightly, keeping his gaze on her.

[color=#3EA99F]“Haley,”[/color] Greyson chuckled, trying not to go into a fit of laughter after what he was about to say next, [color=#3EA99F]“And what is this [i]‘horrible’[/i] nonsense? I’d say you look quite lovely. And don’ worry, I won’ be telling anyone about your dance moves. They’re pretty posh, I mus’ay.”[/color] He flashed the girl a charming, playful grin, uncrossing his arms to clasp his hands behind his back in a more formal stance.

The son of Poseidon’s smile slowly faded, taking on a more serious look. One a caring, concerned friend would have. [color=#3EA99F]“Alright, Haley? You don’t, uh-”[/color] Greyson hesitated, unsure if he’d be stepping over any boundaries, but he had his concerns. He didn't know Haley as well as he knew, say Brynn, for example. But Knowles tended to blast her music when something was bothering her. He hoped nothing was troubling Haley. Rather than going straight for the more blunt observation he had intended to say, he offered a softer approach.

[color=#3EA99F]“D-do you need any help, luv?”[/color] Greyson offered a gentle half-smile.

While she wondered why he had a concerned expression on her face for a brief moment, she didn’t bother to ask why. It wasn’t that she didn’t care, she just didn’t know how to ask or what the question would ensue. After-all, the only thing that could bring on a concerned look from him was something that she had said or done, and she hadn’t done anything, right? At least not yet. 

Haley sighed before answering him. [color=00eddd]”Believe it or not, this is one of the potions I don’t really need a test subject for. I just have to be really precise with one of the ingredients and it’s a little bit of a headache.”[/color] She paused for a moment to think. The moment an idea came to her, her eyes lit up with their usual mischievous glimer that promised Greyson he was in for something special. [color=00eddd]”I do have this one recipe that’s supposed to be for… sort of like a babbling potion?”[/color] The young woman turned to grab one of the books off the table. [color=00eddd]”Says here that it’s supposed to make the drinker talk nonsense for roughly an hour. Takes about twenty minutes to brew. Side effects include babbling, dry mouth from not being able to stop talking, and… that’s about it.”[/color] 

Slamming the book shut, she looked back up at him. [color=00eddd]”If you don’t want to be a test subject, I completely understand. But the healing potion is something I think I just need to come back to later.”[/color]

The boy nodded with acceptance to her reply, lightly chewing on the inside of his cheek as he stood listening to the daughter of Hecate speak. The mischievous look she gave forced a curious brow raise, his face flushing a couple shades lighter at what she was offering to him to test. Greyson smiled nervously a moment before it turned playful again.

[color=#3EA99F]“Would you like me t’stay so you can record your findings, as well?”[/color] Greyson chuckled, shifting his stance slightly as his eyes drifted down to Sheba who had wandered over to sit beside him. [color=#3EA99F]“You don’ wanna try it out on your new roomie I overheard you were getting?”[/color] The young man laughed, adjusting his gaze back up to Haley’s. 

[color=#3EA99F]“I’m sure you’d enjoy that quite a bit more than testing just about any potion on me.”[/color] Greyson pulled his right hand from his back to check the time, noting it in his mind before returning it behind him. He knew Vivian most likely wouldn’t be at the Cafe all morning. He still had some time before he had to rush down there to snag his keys from her.

[color=00eddd]”Y’know what? It’s fine. It was just a random thought that I had,”[/color] she responded. [color=00eddd]”And don’t remind me about the new room mate. Always messes with me before I meet them. Don’t know how they’re gonna react to - ”[/color] she spread her hands out wide. [color=00eddd]"- this.”[/color]

Greyson rolled his eyes at his friend, smirking slightly. [color=#3EA99F]“I can’t really complain about my roommate. Only thing I really had to get used to was waking up to the smell of blueberries radiating throughout the dorm on Saturdays, ha. But honestly, I don’ have the sligh’est clue why you seem to have such a low opinion of yourself, luv. You’re qui’e a lovely person to be around.”[/color]

Greyson gave the girl a stern look paired with a soft grin. [color=#3EA99F]“[i]This[/i].”[/color] The young man shook his head, sighing heavily while still grinning at the girl. Greyson let a few moments pass before tilting his head, [color=#3EA99F]“Would you like me to leave you to your-"[/color] the boy spread a hand out, gesturing to her and her work, [color=#3EA99F]“[i]-this[/i]?”[/color] he smirked a bit.

Would it be wrong if she asked him to stay? Would it be weird if she admitted that it was actually sort of nice to have someone to talk to? Someone that didn’t think she was insane or just came to her whenever they needed something? 

[color=00eddd]”You can if you want. I’m sure you have something else to do. Mornings are usually one of the busiest times for people, I guess. I’ll probably clean all of this mess up and head out here in a bit myself.”[/color]

Before Greyson had the chance to reply, he heard a voice from down the hall that took his attention away from the girl before him. Taking a quick glance down the corridor to spot David Almas and his pet two-headed dog, who could just barely be heard growling from where Greyson stood. Greyson gave David a grin and quickly looked to Haley to mumble, [color=#3EA99F]“‘Scuse me, luv. One sec.”[/color] before turning back to David. [color=#3EA99F]“Ih’s aw’right, David, don’t worry ‘bout ol’ Sheba. Pup couldn’t do any damage to her. More than welcome to have ‘em come check her out.”[/color]

Greyson looked over at the mechanical cat and clicked his tongue twice, calling her outside of Haley’s apartment just to be sure if anything [i]did[/i] happen that it wouldn’t damage anything in her place. At the familiar call, the feline walked up to Grey with a head bump to his leg before stepping out into the hallway, gracefully sitting down staring at the young man and his monster canine. Greyson gave David a once-over, smirking a little. [color=#3EA99F]“Late start, mate?”[/color]

The young man heard his text-tone pop off in his pocket, quickly pulling his cell out to see a message from Chris. He shot a quick text back before pocketing his phone.

That would be great. Mind getting me one of those fruit/yogurt parfaits? The one with the granola? Thanks! Be there shortly.
