His eyes grew wide at the offer of a chocolate frog. Half of him REALLY wanted to take it, because he hadn't even gotten a snack from the food trolley. That #veryimportantlooking red-hair-lady had seen to that with her...yelling about yelling and indoor voices. WHATEVEr. But the other half of him was so enamored by the offer that he couldn't bear to take it from her. If he did that, he'd have to provide something in return. But what?
"That's....actually really very kind," he admitted, finally. "But...I feel guilty! I'm pretty sure I just heard your stomach grumble. Or rumble. Or growl- OHHHHHHH was that where the word grumble comes from? Growl and rumble? That makes sense." By then, he had mostly forgotten about his hunger, as he was far too interested in the origins of funny-sounding words, like feet or pickle.
He couldn't help but chuckle at the girl's question. "Would that make her King of BEST!BOAT? Surely not. She was a GIRL. If anything, she'd be Queeeeeeeeeen. But even still, no she was NOT! She did not win the boat!throne fair and square. Those were the rules." No matter that he had made up the rules right there on the spot.
"You like to giggle..." he observed. "DO YOU LIKE ME?!"
Smoooooooooooooooooth.
"No really, I'm sure the feast will begin soon and I would feel just as guilty if I sat here eating it while your stomach growls," Ariella said trying to reason with this boy who had refused the chocolate. Yeah, thats right! He
refused chocolate! Ari cocked her head to the side. He was right, that was actually a really good mash up of rumble and growl, plus it
did make sense...
"Do you always do that? Mash up words together?"
Ariella rolled her eyes,
"Well alright then QUEEN of the Best!Boat, but I think that title should go to me!" She smirked, her boat had to have been better than his,
"besides, what makes you think your boat was the best?" She giggled once again, Best!Throne? How come nobody told her of this before?! Ari raised her eyebrow and crossed her arms of her chest and looked at the boy skeptically,
"Oh? And how you get the Best!Thone?"
Did she like to giggle? What kind of a question was that? Then again, coming from this boy it shouldn't have been very surprising to Ariella,
"Well, yeah I guess I do...I'll giggle at anything I find funny," She said shrugging her shoulders.
Just then the boy blurted out another odd question that caused Ari to jump in her seat because of the volume he asked it at, did she like him. Like, as a friend?
"Well, I guess I like you, you havn't given me any reason not too..."
