@lestrange She was so concerned for him, a small part of him didn't like that, but he stuffed it deep down. He didn't need to be jealous of her feeling, especially ones that were charitable. He wished he had thought of helping Albus, the poor kid had had a rough go of it the last few weeks. Just because Phil's life was looking up didn't mean that everyone's was, right now was actually a really hard time for most of the students here. "We can stay as long as you want, Andy. I actually already know the lesson my dad is teaching anyway, so we could just skip class and I can catch you up on what we are doing." he told her. He would like to go to class, he loved it, but right now, Andy came first. She always came first, who was he kidding. Suddenly, she sidestepped away from him and wanted to go to class. And he was thoroughly confused. "Wha? Okay... we can go to class." he pushed away from the wall, a confused look on his face. Why had she moved away-- Oh. they had been awfully close. "Wait." he said stopping. "Why do you want to go to class now?" He asked. He wasn't very good a keeping his emotions hidden, though he tried. Did she think he would kiss her? He wouldn't have done that, not now. He wasn't about to jeopardize their friendship for anything. Sure they had said they loved each other, and that was still true, but neither of them were ready for the romantic stuff. Right? They weren't ready...

She was being bipolar in her decision making. She knew that, and she knew it was confusing him like crazy. "I want to go to class because it's the right thing to do! Come on," she reached over to take his hand and pulled him away from the wall, back toward the path. Albus was pretty far ahead now, far enough that they could avoid making small talk with him. She still felt terrible, with that sick feeling in her stomach. Not just because of Albus, but because she was just about ready to kiss Phil back there and she didn't think that was a good idea. At least not right away...
She was holding his hand now, though, and she looked down at their fingers before smiling up at him. "Thanks for being so patient with me. Even if it makes you crazy," she said, her voice oddly confident as her lips smiled and her eyes pleaded.

@lestrange She took his hand, so she obviously wasn't mad at him. That was good, for a moment he had been worried that he had done something wrong. "Well, I guess going to class is probablly for the best." He said, still slightly confused. She pulled him toward the greenhouse, resuming their path to class. Their fingers were still entwined and Phil glanced over at her. If he ever understood her, he would probably be dead. But he honestly didn't mind. Getting to know her was something that he was willing to spend a significant amount of time on. "...even if it makes you crazy." She said, confident, smiling in that way that made him forget about anything else. "You're welcome, It is worth being a little crazy to.. uh... hold your hand." nerves flooded into him as he finished his sentence. Why now? Seriously, he was just trying be her friend, he didn't want to ruin that. He didn't want to do anything to make her retreat back into her self. Would she, if he talked about their new relationship like this?

"You're welcome, It is worth being a little crazy to.. uh... hold your hand." Andy's own words caught fire as he said these words. A part of her hoped that he just wasn't going to bring it up, but it would be cruel of her to wish for something like that. No, if anyone deserved Andy's complete and total honesty it was Phil. She stopped walking, turning to face him and sighing. She tugged his hand, inviting him to step just a little bit closer. "Ask me anything you want about this," she raised their hands up so they were in the space between them, "and I'll answer the best I know how." It was a strange offering, coming from Andy. An opportunity to ask her anything he wanted and she promised to be honest with him. It was scary, too, although kind of exhilarating to prepare for that level of honesty.

@lestrange Phil was surprised when she stopped again. Should he have kept his mouth closed? He should have, man he was an idiot. But what she said next threw him off guard. "Wha?" He said dumbly before his brain jumped into gear. Any question he wanted to ask her and she would answer. That was quite the offer, and one he didn't know if he was going to get again. She was showing him a lot of trust here... And he wanted to do the same. Several questions ran through his mind, but all were things that he wanted her to tell him when she was ready. Hopefully, she would be ready one day. So for now, he focused on the simple things. "Why are you holding my hand?" he asked with a smile as he stepped closer to her, a late response to the tug of her hand on his. He did want to know the answer to his question, but more than that, he hoped it would show her that he wasn't going to push her to be ready to share things with him, he would do it on her timetable.

He kept it simple, which caused Andy to let out a breath of relief. She found herself smiling wider and a laugh starting to slip out of her mouth. She pulled Phils hand forward, kissing his knuckles and then looked up into his eyes. "Because your hands are warm, calloused and strong. And I like them. And I like you. And I want to hold your hand right now. Okay?" she said this all slowly, piece by piece so he'd understand that right now it was just something as simple as doing something she enjoyed for the sake of enjoyment, which was a rare thing for her.
"The offer still stands, you know. Any time you want to ask me something, you can," then she squeezed his hand one more time and turned away, pulling him into the Greenhouse as they arrived. She released his hand as they stepped inside, however, just for proprieties sake and she didn't want people talking... not yet, at least.
