He listened to the Banner dude talk about their assignment and then turned to the group he had traveled with. "Um, should we...be a group since we took the portkey together?" he suggested. Might as well rather than trying to find someone else...

In the mood they were both in. Poor Caleb. Mo decided the boy was a perfect addition to the group, if only to keep things from getting politely murderous.
"Yeah, we should be a group. I'd really like to try finding a kelpie and an augury, if we have time. Plants offer less of a challenge." Mo tipped a shoulder at Alice, inviting her to come before stalking over to Wand Dude and taking a map, a sack, and one of the stones. "Let's go... toward the water." Mo pointed between the trees.
The first year somehow managed to subdue Alice slightly. She felt a bit bad about exposing what a horrible person Mo was being as of late to such a young kid, so the sixth year toned it down a bit. A really, reaaally tiny bit.
Still sulking though.
"I want to find everything," she announced, tailing after Cactus and the first year as they headed for the water.
"It won't be that hard. And a challenge. Rowan wood and dittany stalk can't be that much more difficult to harvest than the others." It was dividable too, right?
"We can each harvest an item by ourselves, then maybe do the last together. Or we could do all of them as a group."
Unless the boys were going to be killjoys and limit her to less than four items.
Alice gave them hopeful looks.
