Okay? *Bolly considers him for a moment.* ...oh, you're doing a secret birthday thing for Sylvie. Cool. Yes, I would like to come. Yes, I will keep it a secret.
*That is difficult to answer because, strictly speaking, the answer is either "no" or "took me to the Hospital Wing", but as a proximate cause, actually, yes, quite a bit. But Jax and Bolly have never been all that close, despite the family ties, and Bolly isn't sure how Jax will react. Jax might think it was a good thing, and Bolly isn't sure how he himself would react to that. So. So he should probably answer the question. But he doesn't really have one. So what comes out is the rather stupid,* I don't know.
Is this about that night with Montague? Jax knew something happened. He always assumed Bolly got caught in the crossfire of Aubrey and Montague fighting and panicked.]
They weren't duelling, you know. Everyone thinks they were, but they weren't. A duel takes two people, cursing each other. Aubrey was- It was one-sided. Montague got saved by accident. By me showing up when I did. That's it. Just coincidence.
That night we didn't know what was going to happen to Montague. And if he hadn't been expelled...it could have been worse than him hitting her. A lot of us were angry.
I was angry and I'm not sure what I would have done if I had seen him after he hit her.

*Bolly busies himself putting his work back in his box.* It's fine, I can just stay far out of his way. It's Sylvie's day.

He hit her. He was going to be expelled. Professor Popa would have seen to it, even if Professor Boot didn't.

That's a bad thing, Jaxon. Not knowing what you'll do when you get angry is bad!
