Rat bogies... he wondered if you could taste those..
"Ohh." She was kidding! He grinned then and got smacked on the arm by her. Then she proceeded to apologize and rubbed it better. Hah! He couldn't put his finger on why, but he liked this crazy girl.
"Ainsley Piper? Wow, that's a really good name," he thought aloud. It just rolled off the tongue well, ya know? Like Paulie Foster, of course. It actually gave Paulie Foster a run for his money, and THAT said something.
Uh oh. She was complaining of a head ache? Hold up.. "Isn't this just bouncy, uhh.." Bouncy what? "Bouncy floors?" How did she hurt her head? Oh, wait. Maybe she snapped her neck or something... whiplash. Ehhh, that would be bad. A concussion?! "You think you have a concussion?" Oh gosh, what would happen if she just fainted right here? Then what?! Okay, okay. Concussion test. Like in the films, right? He lifted his hand up and raised two fingers. "How many fingers am I holding up?"
TWOOO. Please say 'two.'
Ainsley shrugged casually, "
I'm cool like that." Truthfully, she was quite a dabbler in potion making. But not so much the made-up ones. Let's just say that her potions textbook was looking rather raggedy from over-use. And if they weren't dangerous, she occasionally fed them to her cat, Stanley. "
I could whip you up a batch, if you want." If he was BRAVE enough, that is. Muahaha.
Ooh, a compliment. Ainsley wasn't used to those, especially ones to do with her name. "
Thanks! Yours is pretty cool, too." Looks like both their parents did a good job with naming, then!
Bouncy floors, BLAH BLAH.
"
Tell that to my HEAD." Maybe she had a hollow head? Whatever her head was, it was hurting. "
Well, I dunno! What does concussion feel like?" From what she could remember in her life, she had never had it before. Aw.... Paulie was actually freaking out. She wasn't positive if it was because he cared or if he was worried that if he left her, she would die and it would be his fault... Eh, whatevs. Ainsley raised her eyebrows when he raised his fingers, "
Errm.... two..." She said, groggily....
"
.....hundred."
Uncontrollably, Ainsley giggled, still holding her head. Yeah, it hurt but she didn't think that she was going to die anytime soon.
