SPOILER!!: Sierra

She'd see them at school when she needed something or another from them--a partner in class, maybe.

She sighed. "My summer's been...interesting, to say the least. My father made me go to Muggle summer camp for two weeks," she answered. "It was ridiculously crazy, I tell you. They expected me to know how to turn on a television set and mail a letter home!" Of course she hadn't told them that where she came from things ran a little differently. She also skipped out on the part of the story where the Muggle kids had matted gum into her hair and made fun of her for carrying a club. A club--ha! She could smash bludgers nearly to pieces with that bat they called a club!

Did he just tell her she looked exquisitely delightful? He had. Yes. She was sure of it. "Oh, ...well, thank you," she said, looking down at her outfit of choice. It was just a regular pair of jeans and a shirt, but it was nice to know she looked exquisitely delightful in them. She should give him a compliment now, too, right? Yes, she really should. "You look..." Pause. Wizardly? No, that made him sound like he had a long, white beard or something. Ravenclawish? Was that even a word? "...nice yourself," she finally opted for, and then came the nervous feeling in the pit of her stomach.

She cast it off and tried to focus on the cat. "Oh, your cat...right," she said. What happened to its hair, she wanted to ask, but she didn't. As she continued to watch the cat swing its tail back and forth, she added, "No, I live in Hogsmeade, so I don't ride the train. I was just with my father at his office today and decided to stop by for a visit." In other words, her father made her go communicate with other children.

Muggle summer camp? Eino had never heard of that, but he was oblivious to most Muggle related activities, so it was expected. Still, it didn't sound like Sierra had a good time there so it mustn't have been a good experience. "Those sound like unrealistic expectations for a witch, to say the least." Eino said encouragingly, she didn't want to make her feel dumb. Plus, he didn't know how to do those things himself so he could relate. Although he was interested in knowing how Muggles mailed letters now, if not by using owls, then what other animal or system did they use?

Eino noticed Sierra look down at her outfit when he complimented her. He wanted to interrupt her and clarify that he had complimented her not her outfit, but that distinction probably would only make her feel a little more awkward. "Thank you..." He finally said once she had found something to say in return. He wasn't expecting her to see his badge, or to even notice it (because he had worn random badges in the past), but was somehow a little disappointed that she didn't. He was hoping that it would... Attract some of her attention? Maybe. Something like that. It was the second thing he thought of when he accepted it, but not a necessarily a reason why he did.

Once she changed the topic to Ino, Eino glanced over at the cat, who was trying to break free from the carrier by scratching the lock from the inside. Eino stuck his index finger in through the grid and the cat paused to rub her head on it. When she did, Eino scratched it in attempts to comfort, and continued to do so as Sierra spoke. "Oh, I see. And how is it that you get to Hogsmead from here?" She doesn't take the train EVER? Lucky. Eino wished he could skip the train.

Suddenly, he remembered that he had a gift for Sierra, one he had obtained during summer, but this wasn't the best place to give it to her. He really wanted to take his uncle's advice that he should stop gifting her trinkets, but he didn't know how else to show his affection. It was very frustrating.
