It took a few minutes for Akris's words to sink in, forget about Ginny even Akris was shocked what did he mean by that he would get jealous? Jealous of who? He hurriedly stood up looking at Ginny whose eyes were wide and immediately said, " That's not what I meant, I meant … I mean I was just joking don't overthink, all right?"
In this scenario no matter what he said it will sound like an excuse, so even if he knew that he needed to give Ginny a clear explanation he simply made a random excuse. What was he supposed to say in this case? That he was jealous because she was riding his wolverine and not him? No, wait. This sounded so ambiguous …no, it sounded like plain sexual harassment.
Akris rubbed his temples and tipped his head to the palace and said in a gruff voice, " Come with me, there is something that I need to say to you."
