[Caleb's eyes do cut to Molly so that he can look a little exasperated for a moment. He didn't actually mind the laughing before when it was about the mirror's reaction to him. Maybe it's a little different when he's laughing at his efforts to protect Nott.
In any event, he still doesn't really care what the mirror is saying, not about him anyway. He puts his hand briefly on Nott's head by way of ackowledgement of her compliment. It's laughable, but she's trying. Maybe he should tell her she doesn't need to try.
He doesn't, he just retreats from the broken mirror and reclaims his place on the bed. He reopens his book and starts reading it again. Although he does have one more comment.]
The people who designed that thing must be assholes.
[He...assumes it's people. Or maybe it's a spell, but then people still would have to craft that.]
