And a quick glance around told her whatever parchments he got... were nowhere in sight.
This was all amusing enough.
Also, no sneakoscopes, yo! They were free to go now.
Okay, Kirby didn't know who his predecessor was. What if the fish was Cantwell instead of Tiberius? She knew the Groundskeeper and Airey didn't exactly get along when they were teenagers, this could be a revenge of sorts if Airey was actually capable of such a thing. But he wouldn't, right? Anyway, Lottie nodded, "Makes sense, he didn't talk with many," but he did speak with her. Wink.
Er, what? "Miss Wisteria," she corrected him. And she was fine with calling him Mr. Kirby. BUT YES, LEX! THANK YOU! "I'm up for it! After all, both Mr. Cantwell and Mr. Firth took us on safe trips to the forest, so I'm very much up for a race in there!" BEAM. That'd be excellent, and she'd win because she was fast. And very tiny, compared to this man.
Nothing was said on the eyebrow raise. Or in relation to any magical enhancement. Quote:

He said as he handed Lex a roll of Paper Towels. "Excellent for cleaning and you can write on them too." He gave her small nod, and a smile before addressing their next topic they were very eager about. "The Race is on then, but not in the Forest. Terrible footing, you could trip and sprain your ankle from a root." He gave the both a raised eyebrow. "Instead we race on my terms. We start on the Pathway closest to here, and end at the Pitch." They shouldn't be too disappointed. Besides would they really expect him to believe the previous Groundskeepers took them on leisurely walks around the Forbidden Forest, not likely. "Do we have ourselves a race Lex, Lottie?"
If nothing else she could always say she'd gotten two jars of honey from the Groundskeeper, making this trip not a waste of time at all. There was still the matter of finding out what the man thought of explosions but she'd let that be for now because there was something more pressing. Paper towel? Really? Lex blinked at it even as it was offered.
"That's not gonna work..." She began slowly, still eyeing the paper towel.
"It soaks stuff up. Ink...ink is soak up-able, very much so. The note won't last all that long and I'd try running to the Headmistress before it fades and spreads but I'd be winded by the time I get there then she'd never take me seriously." This wasn't gonna work, was it?
"I'll just, come back with some parchment." Sometime before the term really got under way and Professors started moving about enough to notice the absence of the 'Mr'.
There was internal beaming when Lottie jumped right onboard with her forest running idea. Of course she would. They had history in there. T'was a fun place afterall and as horrible as it was lying about a practically dead man, she had to say the mention of Cantwell and Firth was a good touch
nevermind what that rug in detention had to say about that. There was a bit of nodding as she did her best to back this up but then he was going on about footing?
"It's not a problem. We're well acquainted with the forest. Footing shouldn't affect us much." Technically that was the complete truth. They'd both been in their more than once. She would have pointed that out next were it not for him giving suggestions. Er....let's all take a moment to remember Lex only wanted to visit the forest and was in NO WAY inclined to have a run with the walking wall of muscle no matter how slow he confessed to being. No. Just no. If she ran it had to be for a good reason and this...this testing his speed thing wasn't good enough. Only Lottie wanted to know how fast he was.
"You and Lottie have a race." She corrected.
"I can fly overheard incase you guys need a 'photo finish' of sorts." Even if she was pretty sure he stood no chance against her bestfriend. Just saying.
