I don't want the acidity of my hands to hurt you. I'll get you sugar cubes?"
No luck.
Finally a familiar face came over to help him. Wasn't that Sophie, Caleb's sister? The girl that always seemed to be paired up with Mr. Ladies Man Grayson? Yes. Yes. Oh yes, it was! He gave her a relieved grin and chuckled. "Really? I thought the aim of the game was to catch them without the nets?" he teased; however, he knew the game too well. They were supposed to catch them with nets- not with their bare hands. "Thanks," he said as he took the net and then carefully moved his hand rather quickly and caught half of them. The other half flew away. When he caught them, a bright light emitted and then the butterflies disappeared. Now butterfly-free, his blue eyes widened in shock as he wondered where the butterflies had disappeared too.
But he couldn't wonder that anymore because Sophie was here. He held out her net towards her. "Thanks Sophie, I guess I should have grabbed a net before entering here. I must have missed them," he said with a chuckle as he scratched his head briefly. Yeah, he was making a right fool out of himself in front of a fellow housemate. Yep, this was fun. Oh so much fun. "I guess catching butterfiles is like trying to catch multiple snitches. Anyway, how are you?"
Sophie raised her eyebrows as she heard Simon try to coax away the butterflies with offers of sugar cubes. Did butterflies even like sugar cubes? Sophie didn't have time to wonder about that for too long, because Simon turned her way. She shrugged.
"I almost didn't grab a net myself. I didn't really want to catch any butterflies, but I was just in here to see what it was all about." She glanced around the area then looked back at Simon.
"It does look pretty cool in here."
By the time, he had caught some of the butterflies and missed the other half.
"Hmm. Good catch," she said, watching the half that flew away. Not that it was hard for him to catch them anyway. They were
on him, after all. She nodded at the snitch comment.
"You know, I thought the same thing. This kind of reminds me of when I played on the house team last year." That seemed like forever ago, although, that might be because she hadn't played in a while.
She shrugged again.
"I'm alright. Just hanging out and seeing what this thing has to offer." She glanced around then looked back at Simon.
"You seen Grayson around?" You know...just...because.
