"Oh! Hi, I'm Patrick." He said after a short pause, his brain needing a moment to process the fact that social interaction was now required of him. He smiled at his new acquaintance, having gotten over the shock of actually having to talk to people today. "Yeah, it just so happens, that I am missing a partner." He replied with a nod, happy he didn't have to go searching for people to spar with.
"It's nice to meet you, Patrick!" And he was missing a partner too?
"Brilliant. We can be partners then?" She was just going to assume so since neither had one and others had already started dueling.
"I um... well so I guess we just sort of need to bow and take five steps away from each other before getting started." And she smiled a little, the excitement building inside of her. This was going to be fun, dueling someone she didn't know. It meant she couldn't really read what he was going to do or how he was going to react in a duel and that made her curious and eager to begin.
Grabbing her wand a little more firmly, the blonde slowly began to bow and eyed the older boy to see if he would do the same. She was ready when he was.
