His defense caused her worn, black converse shoes to abruptly stop in her brisk walk away from him. Slowly she turned on her heel so that her gray eyes could examine his face. She took a silent moment, which seemed to be forever to her, just standing there looking at him before she took one slow step in his direction. This step was followed by another, which was followed by another until she was mere inches away from his taller form. She cast her eyes to the ground momentarily before returning her gaze to him and opening her mouth to speak. "Sometimes..." she trailed off "Sometimes it's better to not try so hard. "

Andrew who was expecting Katarina to ignore his words and continue down the corridor was completely shocked when she turned back. Curiously, he watched as each step brought her closer and closer back. The lighter he had just pulled out of his pocket now clutched in his hand, normally he used this to shake thoughts off, now that Katarina was back, his nerves sort of peaked inside of him, and his habit of pulling out the lighter that he had been in posses ion off for a few years now came in to play. He paused a moment, letting his wrist flick lightly, exposing the top of the lighter, before flicking again, letting the silver lid close over it, he looked met her eyes with his replying with a grin, "If it means being able to speak with you, not trying so hard can be worth it." He gazed down at the lighter in his hand for a split second, almost putting it away, he didn't want to appear to be showing off, as girls usually thought of him with that lighter, but it was still helping calm him.
