His mom was always trying to dress him up and make him look more 'presentable' or whatever. He was NEVER making any presentations so it just didn't make sense.
Autumn meant that it would be getting colder and then it would start snowing early before it was actually winter most likely. Louis was right, he might lose a toe if he tried to walk on the Grounds with the flip-flops. Even if that would be sort of cool, only sort of, he'd probably need to wear regular shoes by then. "Well would I be able to at least wear them inside sometimes?" He'd know right since he'd been here a while? "Do you walk around barefoot or with flip-flops ever?"
Louis laughed. Sorry, but he couldn't help himself; the kid was kinda cute, all reluctant of his mother's fashion choices. "I doubt her intention was to make you look 'funny'," he said with an amused smile.
The boy's gaze dropped to the bright red flip-flops again for a moment, then he shrugged. "As far as I know, there's no rules against flip-flops inside the castle," he said. As for him walking around barefoot or in flip-flops... "Only at home. The floor in the castle gets too cold to walk barefoot. Besides, there's the whole thing with germs and I'd rather not get sick." The mere
thought of visiting the Healer sent a shiver down his spine. He hated all things medical.
