Smiling immediately when Aleksey repeated her words, Elizabeth was ready to receive and return a kiss, but she could've sworn she jumped nearly a foot when hearing the clearing of someone's throat. And for an instant the expression on her face was pure fright as if a gun had just went off and she was trying to figure out who the bullet had hit, but after a few moments that was gone and she very nearly cringed at the man standing behind Aleksey.<br/><br/>From the disapproving gaze he was getting from the man, she assumed it was probably a professor at the university, or possibly even his personal tutor. She wasn't positive, but either way she didn't speak a word. Not even on the way back. Of course she had wanted to protest, but what timid part of her was there kept her quiet, silent, and she simply stalked after the two.<br/><br/>------------------<br/><br/>Some part of her felt like it was high school all over again while they sat in the office, waiting. How old were they, and they were being punished for intimacy? It made her feel childish to be punished for such a thing, but she sat there quietly, but some part of her didn't really feel nervous. Because in her mind, she hadn't done anything wrong. She wasn't going to ignore the man she loved, and even if they told her that, she'd be damned if she would actually listen.<br/><br/>Or, at least, she was pretending and fooling herself that she wasn't nervous. The apologetic gazes she was getting from Aleksey, she wanted to say they weren't needed, but really, she couldn't get herself to speak, afraid she'd end up getting them into more trouble, which she was sure the problem he was debating over just the same.<br/><br/>“Professor Addison will see you now,” When hearing this man speak again and call for the both of them, Elizabeth heaved herself up just the same. She hadn't even bothered taking off any of her coats, gloves or scarf off, because it'd come in handy if she felt as though she wanted to hide, because she could easily just hide herself in the big coat she was wearing.<br/><br/>Almost reluctantly she followed behind Aleksey towards the office, keeping her hands in her pockets now.
