Sometimes Alice felt like her imagination was too big for its own good. "Did you like it at Merlin's, or is that why you wanted to come here?" Alice asked, hoping that she wasn't intruding into his personal life too much. She had just met him after all and she didn't want to seem like she was being nosey.
Tampa, huh? "I've been to Florida, but never Tampa," Alice said with a little chuckle. "I hear it's quite populated there though so I don't blame you for not knowing how many witches and wizards there." Alice's body instinctively went stiff when Dallin mentioned that he was muggle born. "I'm a muggle born for all intents and purposes as well," Alice said with a little smile. She figured that even though her mother was a witch (a witch who wanted nothing to do with her) it was better to just say she was muggle born since her father, who was a muggle, was the one that was taking care of her. "It's kind of crazy thinking we went through eleven years of our lives without knowing what all was out there you know? To think that people can actually do the things they can with a flick of a wooden stick, to look at it simply, and a series of words." Did I like it there? Dallin took a moment to think before answering, not really knowing how to answer that question honestly, without talking for ages. "I... I think it was good that I started school there." He said with a sharp nod. "It would have been way too much for me to start here, all alone and stuff. At least at Merlin's I had my sisters with me to sorta help me into the Wizarding World." Gah. That sounded dumb.
He'd actually still been looking to her when she talked, so he noticed her get a bit more... stiff. His eyebrows scrunched together, but he decided not to ask about it. It was probably personal anyway. "It's very crazy." He agreed, his eyes widening as he looked down. "Although, I was younger. I was... six? Seven? Something like that. Two of my sisters are witches." Man, he was sure chatty today. "What gets me is that some people can do it, and some can't. Maybe it's just me, but I don't know what you have to have in you to be able to perform magic."
