Anyway, he was just out to get some air. Theo spent a lot of time outdoors this term, and he was kinda enjoying it.
He hated the courtyard, though. Too crowded, people always getting in your face. Was that... a bench? He'd never noticed a bench here before. There was a very familiar redhead perched upon it, and Theo thought about it at first, but decided to go over. This had to be done. "Hi." He said, giving Derry a smile. He hadn't seen her since the first tryout, and he WAS feeling a little bitter. It was pretty much water under the bridge now, though.
"You were great at the tryout... Glad you came?" After he made such a fuss over it?
Theo sat beside her, completely oblivious to the fact that she was reading.
A veeeery happy unbirthday, to you! To me? Derry was humming and reading her book with a soft smile, she loved the Dormouse, she understood the wanting-to-sleep-all-the-time thing. It was probably nice to have the time to rest that long. She never slept in though, her body clock was built to wake up in time to feed the chickens before she went to school.
Derry was wondering why on Earth Alice would want to go back to her normal life again when she heard a familiar voice and glanced up.
"Oh, hello." she said with a smile, putting her bookmark between the pages and scooching up so that Theo could sit beside her. Oh, the tryout... Derry grinned involuntarily - she'd really really enjoyed it all... the flying and stuffs.
"Yeah... it's really fun." She'd never played with more than two other people before.
"I was great..?" Was she really? She knew she'd flown pretty well but she'd kind of just put that down to fluke or something... she'd only been flying for about three months... but maybe she was actually good at something?
