He waited by the side of the boat. He had no partners. But he climbed into a boat with a lonely ravenclaw. Maybe he could make a friend?

He gave a bit of a flailed scramble to reach her before she fell over, but seeing as he was already seated it turned into more of a backwards twisting lunge that failed rather miserably.
"..." A little confused at her quick recovery, he took the offered hand and shook it, "Tyrion Everard. Tyr. Do you... fall over a lot, Lexi?"
Seriously, it was like that sigh she gave was one of resignation, as if she'd accepted she would be toppling into boats for the rest of her life.
Tyr looked over at the boy who climbed into the boat, determined to at least rescue this boat buddy should anything happen. But it didn't, and once the newcomer was safely seated he said, "Hi. I'm Tyr, this is Lexi."
Lexi giggled as her boat buddy tried to help her as she fell over, but she had recovered quickly.
"Hi Tyr," she said with a smile. His next question made her laugh though.
"Yeah, I'm a little clumsy sometimes," after all her sister did call her Clumsy Lex all the time.
"Especially when it comes to tippy things like this boat." Or perhaps she was just imagining it being extremely tippy because Tyr seemed like he had no problems getting in compared to Lexi's horrible attempt.
Then another boy had joined the boat.
"Hiiiii," she said brightly to the new arrival who seemed to have a much easier time getting into the boat than she had. At least he wasn't doomed to her fate of falling into the boat.
"I think we should name our boat," she said looking towards the two other boys.
"Any ideas?" Lexi was sure that at least one of them would have an interesting idea.
