A little too calm and perfect for our cowardly lion, though. Brae enjoyed the fresh air and the greenery, but... well, the pathways could be a little creepy at times. Most of the trees blocked out the sunlight and it was hard to see past the first layer of branches surrounding either side of the pathway. Anything could be lurking in there!

As he walked, with no real destination in mind, Braeden couldn't help but shoot nervous glances at the trees and darkness every now and then. Any little sound, even a twig snapping, could send him jumping up the nearest tree like a cat. He really needed to work on his lack of... bravery this year. How had that hat sorted him in Gryffindor?!

We will never know...
Having developed a slight headache from reading inside by candlelight, Ivory had decided the best and only cure was to venture outside and read under the open sun, breathing in the brilliant fresh air. The crunch of early fall leaves beneath her feet was pleasant to her ears and as she walked slowly through the natural avenue made by the trees, she couldn't help but feel content.

Maybe she wouldn't read. Maybe she'd just walk around. A few rays of sunlight trickled through the leaves giving an environment that was secluded and cool, with various shadows. Perfect strolling weather.

Tucking her book under her arm, she tilted her face up. Eyes closed, lashes casting long shadows across her cheekbones, there was a soft smile on her lips as she walked through the pathway.Not stressing about new responsibilities or ridiculous drama, just enjoying the day.

Blissful in her ignorance of anything going on around her, she had no way of knowing that she was close to quite literally coming face to face with nature. That of course being a euphemism for a tree. A few hard solid tree.
