That's the sort of situation he'd get himself into, and he irritated himself to no end because of it.
"I'll go by your brother's word for now, and see how I find it tonight." So, that meant she had one sibling at least. "Do you have any other brothers or sisters?" And luckily it seemed that Dr. Seuss wasn't some prominent author that he should have known. A children's author? He studied the cover of the book as she placed it before him. "Do they all have such interesting artwork?" He grinned a bit.
"No problem." He smiled as she flexed the muscles in her arm. "Looks can be deceiving?" He offered, trying to be encouraging, though he ended up laughing instead. Hopefully she didn't find it offensive. "Well, everyone has their strengths. I'm incredibly horrible at team sports.. like quidditch or football. I prefer swimming and such." He eased back a little. "What about you, then?"
She smiled. Ehh....no one should go by Toby's word. Her big brother got himself into trouble along with others because they took his word for it. She knew other people who went to Hogwarts and they liked the food so she had some trust in him this time. The girl nodded at him. "
I have 2 brothers and 2 sisters. There's Tobias and my adopted brother Rafael who are older, and Adalia and Charlee who are barely 6 months," she answered, deciding to him him to whole explanation of her siblings. She was oddly stuck there at 14 it seemed. "
What about you?" she asked.
Lucie grinned once more and said, "
Most of them do. At home we have a whole section in the library dedicated to these books along with other children ones. It's gonna be my little sister's now." She stuffed the book back into her backpack. She remembered being in there for hours upon end as a child, pulling books and looking at pictures. She brushed back falling blonde strands of hair and tucked them behind her ear.
"
No, I deserve no trying to make my muscles sound less small as they really are," she giggled, shaking her head. While she listened to him talk about his lack of skills in sports and ones he was good at, she took out her citrus smelling lip gloss and applied it. Mmm...she loved the smell of oranges. "
Swimming?" she repeated, her eyes widening as she twisted back on the cap for her lip gloss. Oh lord. She didn't know how to swim. It was a HUGE fear. "
Oh I really like running and I'm actually good at Quidditch. I have more hand-eye coordination on the pitch then playing cricket." Eeeep. She had hurt herself trying that.
