Since, well, leading would be kinda hard if I'm giving you a piggyback..." He nodded in understanding as she confirmed his guess. "I'm sure it'll more than make up for it today..."

And then they'd go find the tree that Lottie wanted to climb, and survey the rest of the ground from it proudly. Oh yes. With Matilda back in full health, he'd known today was going to be a good day, but now it'd gotten a whole lot better. In fact, he couldn't think of a more more enjoyable way to spend it right now. His gaze fell on the younger girl - his excitement was evident, but also with a hint of fondness. Lottie was one cool firstie, that was for sure.

...was she giggling at his glasses? Spike's lips pursed up, ready to puff out his cheeks, though they softened a little at her next comment. "Not...over the top though, right? Like, still me-ish?" He asked with a frown. Yup, Spike was still overly self conscious about wearing the dark frames. They didn't feel like a part of him yet, like they belonged with his personality. For a start, they were entirely unpractical, and tended to slip down his nose at inopportune moments. And second, he figured them made him look nerdy, which despite being a Ravenclaw, he most definitely wasn't.

Spike shook his head. "I wouldn't dream of it," he said seriously. "You'll have to meet them sometime." If she was happy meeting a tarantula, then two cute small frogs wouldn't be a problem, would it? On second thoughts, however, maybe that wouldn't be the case. Finn really wasn't a fan of Killy and Kranky, but got on with Matilda well. His frogs could be a little energetic at times, unlike Matilda's calm personality.

Talking of which...

Spike's smile widened into a grin as he watched Lottie's reaction. She looked more excited than Beezus had, and that was saying something. Spike nodded reassuringly, amused by Lottie's excitable greeting. Yup, she knew the way to Spike's heart. He stroked Matilda gently, though the spider took no interest in her daddy. She was freeeee! And there was a new girl to play with!

Did she tickle?

Spike carefully picked Matilda up from the palm of his right hand, and made a gesture towards Lottie's hand that had stealthily made it's way closer. "You want to find out for yourself?" he asked. He'd be fine if she said no, of course, but surely there was nothing better than experiencing it first hand?

This was the moment where Lottie wished for an older brother. Because Spike was acting like one and she really liked it. Though she supposed being the big sister had its perks, but yeah, she wouldn't know, right? Oleander was younger. Either way, the first year beamed again, and was certainly nodding when she spoke up, "Of course!" she said, before adding more words to her reply, "I understand, yeah," how the leading sort of worked, she meant.

As far as the tree making it up for all that depressing time, well, she hoped so.

Oh. His expression changed. Was it because of the glasses? Oh, no, wait, "Well, you haven't changed...," he seemed to be the same Spike she met a few months back, "...but I haven't known for too long...," which was completely the truth, "...still, though, they don't look bad if that's what you're asking." Then she smiled. Lottie was being way too honest with Spike. Odd, no? "You'll get used to them, you know?" And if he didn't like the frame, he could have lots of them, made them a fashion thing, statement, or whatever.

That was great! Him not dreaming of separating his frogs. Great for the frogs, of course. "Good!" then he continued..., "Sure, yes, whenever you can," because clearly, Lottie didn't even mind cutting a few classes, yeah? So it was totally up to Spike. She didn't mind frogs, maybe. There's one way to know.

AND OH MERLIN, BACK TO MATILDA!

Her eyes kept on going back and forth between Spike and Matilda. Trying to watch his reaction as well as the tarantula's, which was kind of more important, anyway. But then she was asked...to try...and she extended her arm towards Spike. Her bouncing was kept to a minimum. "I promise I won't drop her." Lottie's face suddenly got serious. But her words actually meant 'Yes', in case Spike was still wondering what that extended arm was all about.

She really wanted to know. And try this herself.
