So it really is no loss if whomever the champion is doesn't want my help. At least I'll have a good understanding of what is going on." Hayley nodded seeming happy to accept that as some small prize. She simply nodded as Michael insisted that there was no need to apologize. But there would most likely be another one coming at some point. It was just an impulse of hers, though she honestly wasn't sure when it had started or where it stemmed from. But Hayley often found herself apologizing for a great many things in her life.<br/><br/>It was nice to hear that someone else sucked at dealing with people as well. But she doubted that Michael really had as hard a time as she did. Then again who knew, perhaps he'd feel like a hot mess some days as well. Hayley was never one to judge people, but she found Michael easy to get along with so perhaps it was her own thoughts making it hard to think of him as being bad with people. To her, he seemed like a big teddy bear of a man. Not that she would tell him that, "I imagine that is the case, though with some animals it may be safer. Granted," she tilted her head a bit, "Something tells me you aren't the type to spook easily when it comes to creatures." Hayley made her observation. It seemed that learning about them from book or hands one is part of what made Michael happy. She could only see how he'd light up at the chance to really meet some of his favorites face to face.<br/><br/>"Hmm...oh well actually," Hayley moved around a few pages and seemed happy when pulling one forward, "I had just read about one tournament where their champions had to deal with a creature called Blast-Ended Shrewts and I can't make heads or tails...or figure out which end is head or tails." she laughed softly and moved her notes over and reached for the book that had the passage about the challenge in it. "I have no idea what to make of the creatures really. So I'd love any input you might have on them?" she asked with a smile.
