[Lots of ink splotches from where he's been holding the quill over the page while trying to write, chewing on his lip the whole time]

[Startles when Herbert stands, staring up with wide eyes.] Uh...

[Shakes self.] What did I say?

[preanimator]

Nothing. I just have to go. I can't- I'll see you later.

[starts hastily shoving books in his bag, his mouth pressed into a hard line, shaking a little, obviously terribly upset about something]
