Dahlia couldn’t help feeling Silas’ crooked smile was even more fake than her own. She contemplated the situation, tried to decide what they could do next. Her giggle came out a little bit of a shocking snort when she realized that they had no easy way of getting back into town, even though it wouldn’t have been too far a walk. “I think I’m just going to make my way back into town, if you don’t mind Silas.” She fixed her hair gently behind her ears and cleared the dust from her clothing. “We’ve done all we need to do for today.”
As she began to waltz back across the field Dahlia didn’t bother to turn to see if Silas was following her. It was up to him whether he wanted to tag along, although she wouldn’t have minded his company. She had a few questions she thought about asking him but it skipped her mind up until now.

Silas felt almost rejected by her brushing him off as if he was a first year being dismissed from class. The edges of his mouth twitched very slightly in a mixture of anger and contempt, but as quickly as it had come it was gone, his face maintaining a impassive mask. As she began walking towards town, Silas decided he would escort her back there. Quickly moving to her side the two began walking towards Knockturn Alley.
As they walked Silas had this feeling she wanted something. Logically this feeling made no sense so he brushed it off as nonsense. However when he looked in her direction she seemed pensive, as if thinking of a way to pose a question. "Is there something you need Miss Manchester?" he asked in a near monotone voice.

Dahlia wasn’t one to start conversations, but she figured Silas probably wasn’t much good at it either. The casual manner in his voice spread a wicked grin across her face as they wandered side by side. Apparently, he didn’t mind having to walk back into town, “Oh nothing, just thinking of something clever to say.” She smirked and winked at Silas, absolutely no hidden meaning behind her behavior. The two of them made their way onto an empty pathway. Dahlia was almost positive it would lead them back to Diagon Alley, but she had the slightest bit of doubt etched in her brain. “Apparently, I am at loss though.” She placed her hands on her hips and stopped in the middle of the road. “Would you by any chance happen to know where we are?” She decided not to hide her foolishness from Silas, Dahlia figured he could give her the benefit of the doubt for getting them there safely. If he could get them back, then let's just say they would be even. She laughed at herself smugly and continued down the road. She could care less where they were headed, but something told her Silas might not feel the same way about going betraying his logic. If only he could let loose for once, she thought, then maybe it wouldn't be so hard to have a conversation.

Silas heard her admit to being lost, which was a plus in his book. However he rolled his eyes as she kept walking 'Not a very good first impression Miss Manchester' he thought to himself. He walked quickly forward and taking her gently by the arm pulled her into a different alley.
Dragging her along with him, he guided them through multiple side streets, and caught sight of Borgin and Burkes. As they neared it he stopped and turned to her "Well it seems we are back where we started Miss Manchester, I belive we will be seeing eachother again soon." He did his best to give her a charming smile. Logically working with her would be easier if he made an effort to 'conform' to a social norm such as charm. He knew how to charm, even though he didn't make 'casual' use of the skill. Today would be a slight exception.

Dahlia withstood the tug of Silas' hand on her arm until they arrived safely back in Knockturn Alley. He seemed to have a rather vast knowledge of the world around him, whether having to do with spells or a keen sense of direction. She smiled and acknowledged his attempt to sound charming, "Thank you Silas, I do believe you got us back quite easier than I expected." She searched the Alley casually and prepared to make her way home. By now the sun had begun to settle toward the horizon, “If you'd like to meet again Silas then perhaps you could contact me by owl? Otherwise I will simply see you when I see you." She winked and didn't wait long for a reply. It was a habit of Dahlia's to leave without saying goodbye to anyone; she had to remind herself how hard Silas had tried to be civil with her. "Goodbye then." It wasn't the friendliest of gestures, but it was something to remember her by.

"I suppose I will contact you then" he said politely. He noticed her almost grudging goodbye, "Good-bye Dahlia" he said, it was also the first time he used her first name. He spun on his heels and left with a pop apparating to Hogsmeade.
He felt the familiar and welcomed compression of the 'Other Plane'. Quickly he contemplated what had happened over the course of the day. A small smile played across his lips. Then he felt that familiar tug, and knew his 'ride' was up. With another "Pop" he was in Hogsmeade. Then he began his long trek back up to Hogwarts Castle.
