BADGERS!

Ella GRINNED at her teammates as they started to arrive, feeling a bit better that they'd actually shown up. It would have been pretty embarrassing if it was just her at this team gathering, yeah?

The ickle badger cuties showed up first, bouncing and beaming and making Ella want to pinch their cheeks but she refrained. Besides, that was Nessie's thing! "Hey Tobias! Kace!" BEAM! "I'm glad you guys liked the idea." Cause if they didn't, Ella would be forced to work out alone and that was a bit depressing. "Looks like you lot are ready to go." And she laughed, finding their bounciness both adorable and humorous.

Then came Kitty!Wade and Ella BEAMED at him, tilting her head to the side. "What, no pickles?" She joked, watching as he ruffled the first years' heads.

The boyfriend got an especially brilliant grin and raised eyebrows because Ella had looked for him before she left the common room but couldn't find him. She supposed he was busy with hair things and she smiled to herself, wondering if he spent more time worrying about that than she did. "Thanks Hair Whipper, I'm glad you approve!"

Minnie brought waters? N'aww! "That was really nice of you, Min!" And that meant everyone would be hydrated which was really important. "Thanks for coming!" And she was gonna cook for them? "I...that's brillaint!" She was hungry just thinking about the kitchen.

"Oakey and Kaiden should be here soon so we can just stretch while we wait?" She encouraged, smiling a bit. No pulled muscles on her watch, okay?
