She quickly ran over to him with concern and said, " Oh my goodness Sander, are you OK?. She felt terrible for causing him to fall and hoped he hadn't injured himself. Then came the laughter which caused Alex to laugh with relief. "I am sooooo sorry", she said to Sander. "I came here to help you, not to give you a concussion. Are you really OK?
Alex laughed when Sander made the comment about a new nickname. She said,"Don't worry, your secret's safe with me." "Anyway, I think Two-Pack's here to stay. Oh and yes, I can be verrry quiet when I want to.". Becoming serious again, Alex said, "What would you like me to do?"
Sander brushed the hay and ....no he wasn't going to say it...off from his bottom and waved away Alex's apology. "
Don't worry about it. It was my fault I'm really fine. I'm usually more observant about my surroundings, but I guess I was busy talking with this guy over here that I wasn't listening." he smiled at Alex as he patted the Thestral.
Then he rolled his eyes and laughed at her mention of her nickname for him. "
I'll have you know that I count more than 2. If you want to have another look I'll be happy to oblige. You can even count them yourself." he grinned wickedly at her.
"
I've been here for about a month and already I have two....not make that three...nicknames. Name Twin, Two Pack and Celery Stick. I think if a young Hufflepuff girl had her way it'd be four...Chicken Salad." he laughed just at the thought of that.
Okay down to business.
"
So you can see this guy over here? Whom did you see die?...and if you don't want to tell me you don't have to. I'm only asking because if you can't see the Thestrals you can help brush down those winged horses you can see." Sander explained to Alex.
