When Lex said she'd have free time for pygmy puff shopping this summer, Jasmine was pleased. When she mentioned ice cream, well that just took it to another level. "Ice cream sounds wonderful. We'll have to make it a date then." The prospect of hanging out with a new friend? this summer was appealing to Jasmine. It was friend with a question mark because Jasmine had the feeling that Lex didn't take friendship lightly. You probably had to earn her friendship, not that it was a bad thing. Anyway, she was glad that Lex and Felix had crawled over to the Ravenclaw table after all.

Hmmm. Which California city would Jasmine suggest they visit? "They're all great, but in a different way so it depends on what you like. San Diego, that's where I'm from, is very laid back. It has great beaches and it's good if you like to do outdoorsy things. Plus it has a world famous zoo. Now L.A. has great beaches too. It's more glitzy, you know, where all the fabulous and famous hang out. San Francisco is just a cool city. Lots of hills, cable cars, great food." You can't go wrong with any of them."

When Jasmine asked about being a Prefect, Lex's reaction surprised her. The delayed response said a lot. It seemed to have become a burden for her. Jasmine could not imagine having all that responsibility. She could see how it could be both a blessing and a curse. "I'm sure that you're doing a great job", Jasmine said, attempting to be helpful. "I bet there are a lot of the younger kids who look up to you."


See's Candy? Truthfully she'd never heard of that place and didn't know what to expect there but it had the word candy in there and that was all the Gryffindor needed. "Definitely. We'll make that one of the stops we make? Is it all over California or will it be the deciding factor in where we go." Believe it or not Lex WOULD choose a spot solely based on the potential for candy and Lottie wouldn't mind at all...so....

And wasn't this grand? More official summer plans. Lex grinned at Jasmine. "Sure thing, a pygmy puff date." Or maybe an ice-cream date sounded like the better term to use. It was certainly more appetizing. "I just can't wait for the summer. I've had enough of this cold. Haven't you?" She couldn't think of many people who were happy with the weather around this place...except Dora. She liked it enough, just not the way it restricted them from going outside. Something Lex could understand. Being inside was so confining that it hurt.

Alexa popped another piece of pie in her mouth and offered Felix another strip of turkey while she listened to her options. This was really valuable stuff right here. She had no idea and could now make an informed choice. Though she supposed Lottie would have done her research. They wouldn't have gone in blind regardless. "Outdoorsy stuff makes me think we'll be going to San Diego. She's into that sort of thing and we'll be looking for someplace chill with nice beaches anyway." But it still wasn't confirmed, just...Lex liked the sound of this.

As reassuring as Jasmine was trying to be, it didn't help. It wasn't that she didn't appreciate what she was saying but she'd gotten enough proof to know for herself. Still for the sake of not ruining a perfectly good lunch conversation Lex gave a small nod and forced a smile. "You're right, I'm probably just overthinking things." She'd learned a long time ago that you could end things by telling people what they wanted to hear. Usually it worked.
