Laci looked at Ellie like this wasn't a serious question, until she seemed serious enough... Oh well. "Peanuts for treats silly. My animals LOVEE peanuts." Cue for peanuts! She broke a couple shells and popped some in her mouth. "Want some?" Honestly, who could NOT like peanuts?
"YAYYYYYYY! my first friend from Hogwarts!" Yeah, she pretty much screamed it and after that she got to her knees so she was the same height as Ellie sitting on the trunk and flung herself into a hug at the other poor redhead. "I'm so glad I have a friend!"
Oh. Ellie wasn't sure if she should feel bad for the girl or not. But Laci seemed happy enough being an only child, so this little fact was cast aside for another question.
"A duo act with fire?" How did THAT work? Unless...it wasn't another fire act...but something else. Whatever else. The Ravenclaw didn't know a whole lot about circus acts.
She knew clowns, though! And thought they were positively ridiculous. Whoever dressed up as one of those HAD to be insane. St. Mungo's insane.
Her thoughts wouldn't be voiced to Laci, though.
Silly? Had she just been called 'silly'? Ellie was positive she'd never been called 'silly' before. Laci received blinks for that. However, she helped herself to a couple peanuts. She wasn't one to deny food.
"Thanks."
......OH.MY.MERLIN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Ellie's blue eyes widened at the outburst from the other redhead, her heart THUMPING in her chest. Quickly, she glanced around to see just how many people were staring now. And just when she was about to bow her head, and let her hair cover her face from the world, she was being HUGGED.
Her fingers closed around the peanuts in her hand as she patted the girl's back with the other. Awkwardly, mind you.
Erm....
