He did step back though when he heard Coop ask the same question to the older boy. That, my friend is what he wanted to see.
Or how about those two badged girls over there. “I can carry you both while you carry planks.” He said as he approached Cassia, and waved at the badged lion girl (Lex). Hi, person. Hello.
Distracted, Ethan turned to Eagle Sophie and waved at the newcomer. Hi Coral-Bay Aldrich. “Cool name!” the Slytherin called out, got a plank and approached the other Ravenclaw. “Aldrich? That’s my uncle’s first name.” the third year nodded and offered her a plank. “I’m Ethan. Hi!” The boy looked at her then to the plank he was offering. “Sorry. I should be offering you my hand and not a plank. Haha!” Ethan grinned and offered his hand for a shake.
"I suppose you COULD carry me, but then we wouldn't be able to race each other. You can pick whichever you prefer," Mo shrugged, game for any which way they wanted to play this. It helped that Ethan jumped in and asked Cassia and Lex if they wanted a ride, because now they had TEAMS. "Maddie and Mo are team... Awesome. And Ethan and... who's coming with?"

It HAD been touch and go for a while but she DID make it. SHE DID.
"Okaaaaay." She didn't REALLY think he was going to let her carry him but she guessed she could appreciate him saying he would. The small first year wandered over to him and stood on her tip toes, grabbing the end of a plank. "I'm on!" SHE WAS. Ready for a ride!
And heeeeey, more people. IMPORTANT people. BADGED people.PEOPLE who were walking past and already helping them move planks!
She recognized the head girl FIRST and smiled a little at her. "Hi Head person." Could Maddie pick her brain about Head Girl responsibilities some time? She was already formulating questions in her head. AND another tall person TOO. Seemed like she was FRIENDS with the head girl so she got a smile as well, YUP. "Hello." HI. SMALL PERSON ON MO'S PLANK, HERE.
It was very noticeable when Maddie grabbed hold of the planks, not because she was heavy but because his planks tipped up in the air on the far end. Mo gave Maddie a shake and a grin before taking a long moment to figure out how to redistribute the plank-and-Maddie weight to keep going.
"You're on. I'm going to the pile, and then you'll hop off. I'll run, 'cause we're racing, but I
promise not to drop you. Okay?" Okay. Mo gave Ethan a moment to get his own passengers before shouting, "ONYOURMARKGETSETANDGO" and
running as fast as he could, considering the unwieldy boards and the little firstie dangling from the end.
This was very unsafe.
