Sitting crosslegged on his bed, Sabel watched as the black cat found purpose in stalking his hand that was dipped under the covers. A lump that moved this way and that on slight intervals seemed to have the creature utterly fascinated, and on the prowl for something tasty to eat. Ears back and tail twitching, Merlin hunched low in front of him, haunches wiggling as he prepared to launch. One...two...three and POUNCE!

Sabel had to laugh at the kitten as he gripped his blanket-covered hand, flopping onto his side and using his back legs to kick at the fabric quilt with all the gusto of a feline on a mission. Tiny, sharp teeth gripped the lump of his knuckles, gnawing with the determination of a stubborn little will. It was only when Sabel flicked his fingers out, that the creature let go, jumping up and darting around him only to poke his head over his knee and peer at the lump, ready to pounce again. Really, it was endless hours of entertainment for the fuzz-ball, but his hand could only take so many turns of being used like a toy mouse. And he could only reach under the covers so far.

With a sudden flicker of an idea had him removing his hand from beneath the blankets, much to the disappointment of Merlin. He didn't make his furry-friend wait long though, quickly drawing off his socks and rolling them together before stuffing them under the blankets. With a grin and a new excitement, he unholstered his wand, pointing it at the lump under the blankets. Merlin watched with dissatisfaction from behind his leg, an almost bored expression on his face as he glanced up at Sabel.

Not one to be daunted by the expectations of his friend however, Sabel wiggled his eyebrows a little as if to say 'just wait', before aiming his wand at the bulge in the blankets, a rather confident 'Depulso' leaving his lips as he snapped his wand up towards the foot of the bed in the intention of sending the balled socks zooming towards the end.

Nothing.

A frown and he tried it again.

Still nothing.

Same for the next two tries, each with a more forceful indication of the direction he wished.

Still nothing. Until his third....

"Depulso!"

No sooner had it left his lips, than the blankets beneath him gave a powerful jerk and drive towards that very end, sending him sprawling on his back and Merlin skittering off the bed in mad panic. Given there was no more weight on the covers, and still quite a bit of concentration on the direction of the enchantment, the covers had no resistance in flying right off the end of the bed, only stopping when they connected with the bed on the other side of the room.

Wide eyes went from the accumulation of linens crumpled at the base of the opposite bed, to the socks still lying in wait upon the mattress to the door Merlin had skittered out of. With a groan, he dropped his head back onto the mattress, flicking his wand twice at the socks and muttering 'Depulso' to send them skittering off to join the sheets. Next time, he had to remember to cast at the exact object, not what was covering the object.

With a groan, Sabel rolled himself off the bed and made quick work to tidy the room back up before heading out of the dormitory in search of his startled kitten.
