Even if he couldn't see it, he really was a brilliant player. She'd always kind of been jealous of that. If anyone deserved to make the team though, Ells thought it was him. She laughed softly as he suddenly raised his hands, finding it quite amusing. "Good." She said in a mock serious tone, shaking her finger at him like her Dad sometimes did at her. Heh. She simply smiled when he said they couldn't have her sad...but he must have meant both of them, right? Because he would be sad without ice cream too. Yeah...that's what he had meant. And he cared about her? This made Ella feel all warm and fuzzy for some reason, though she figured she shouldn't really be too surprised. Friends were meant to care about each other, yeah? That was totally normal...She returned his smile with one of her own and then turned her attention to a nearby pot of something, apparently finding it very interesting...
Well that kind of posed a problem, the getting Messy into a blindfold thing. Ella scrunched up her face in concentration, trying to think of a way they could manage it. "Y'know...what if we pretended it was for a game or something...the blindfold...and then we just carried out the plan instead once it was on him?" But...that was kind of lying, wasn't it? Tricking Messer like that? Ells wondered if it was still bad if they were doing it with good intentions. And he was laughing at her again, but not the mean kind of laughter, it was the kind that didn't make you feel all uncomfortable or judged. "Yeah, boring people would be...well...very boring to hang out with, yeah?" And Ella was wearing her Captain Obvious costume again, apparently...
O___O
Well that was...unexpected. Ella kind of blinked at Alec, green eyes a bit wider than usual as he leaned in close to her and whispered. Why had he whispered? That was kind of different. And he had tucked her hair behind her hair for her? That was...helpful. The only other boy who touched her hair was Edric and he just ruffled it til it was all messy like a lion's mane. She just kind of watched him curiously as he stepped back again and smiled at her. Erm..."Thanks." Blink.Blink. Smile. Ella needed to discuss this with Sophie.
"Exactly." Ells said seriously, clearly taking this ice cream soup talk far to literally. She would never want to add anything like carrots or celery or pasta to the soup. That wouldn't be good! Yikes. Oh! And Alec wanted to help her make some? GRIN. "Yeah! That'd be really fun. I'm in." Bounce. Bounce. Bounce.
Ella was too busy flailing around with the package of Oreos to register that Alec was talking to her. Only when she realized that she probably looked like a mental person did she stop and note that he had said something. Whoops. Whathadhesaid? Cherries...right. "Yup, they should be in there!" And now to crush the Oreos. Ella smiled mischievously before opening the package and looking around the counter for a meat cleaver...a clean one, of course. "Hey Alec? You want to help me with something?" She asked excitedly, opening up the nearest draw and peering inside. "Yeah! Yeah... we just need to... focus," And working hard shouldn't be too hard for them, right? They were in Hufflepuff, after all. The house of loyal hard workers. And he was pretty sure that Ells could make it onto the team. She was a pretty brilliant player, especially with a Beater's bat. It's what made him secretly glad that they weren't in different house teams. But all of this was driven out of his mind when Ells... well... the girl looked all Professor-like with that serious finger. Alec chuckled. "With that finger... you could be a Professor, you know," he said, grinning at her. Hopefully, that wasn't such a bad thing to say. Judging from the smile on Ella's face, he would have thought that it wasn't, really. But... the girl did look away to look at... a pot? Pots were that interesting? Yeah... girls were really confusing.
Alec watched Ells as she started... thinking? Yeah, thinking. And it was about something... he didn't know yet. Oh... pretend it was a game? Alec... didn't really mind this idea. "We could!" he said, "Erm... would Messy believe us if we did say that it was a game? Or... a surprise?" But Messy would think that Alec was planning something weird if he, Alec, was the one to say this to him. Yeah... maybe Ells can do the talking instead. ... Boring people were boring to hang out with? Alec grinned and nodded. Ells had... understood him and just... phrased things simply? Yeah, that's what it seemed like. "Yeah... they're not a lot of fun to hang around with," he said.
Alec ruffled his hair and look over the top of Ella's head at something else. Anything really. You know, just so Ells didn't think of him as a weird boy who did weird things and just made everything awkward? Which, now that he thought about it, he actually was. Gulp. He really needed Treyen or Keefer or someone to tell him what to do. And to explain girls in general. Like... why were they so confusing? And why did they do... the things they did? And why was Ella thanking him? Alec looked back at her and blinked. Yeah... he didn't understand any of this. "Erm... anytime?" Way to act casual, Summers.
GRIN! "It can be... our next cooking project?" he asked. He could see it now; the two of them as seventh years, still trying to make ice cream related treats in the Kitchen. That would be awesome! And it could happen because, well, he just knew that they'd still be friends during their seventh year at Hogwarts. And maybe even longer than that. He really hoped so!
Blink. Did he say something... silly? Because Ells hadn't said anything. Maybe they were in the fridge. Yeah. Alec, feeling slightly more awkward now, walked over towards the fridge as calmly as he could and opened it. Cherries! Alec grinned right as Ells spoke. Right. Awesome! He grabbed the box and shut the fridge door right as Ells said something else. ... Help? "Yeah, sure!" he said, setting down the box and the tub of ice cream and walking over towards the blonde haired girl. He stood there, just watching her peering into a drawer, utterly confused. "Erm... I... what do you need help with?"
