But as awesome as Zhenya was, thestrals sounded SUPER AMAZING. He COULD ride on them AND fly on them!!! The Harry Potter thing rang a bell, kinda, he might have glossed over it in one of his textbooks.
Considering though that all the horses he knew ate grasses and stuff, meat seemed VERY weird, which was fitting for the beasts. "Awesome, and yeah, yeah, we should research... together." Meaning, she could research, and he could watch/help her. Seemed legit to him. AND she said she'd ride with him, that was cooooooool, which made him cool too, right? "Sweet," he replied, only, he couldn't get anything more into their conversation when another voice piped up. Who? What? Huhhhh? "Oh yeah, cool, thanks," he mused. Standing back, Zeke gestured for Zhenya to hop in first, cause... that was the right thing to do, right? Ladies first and all that jazz? However, he wasn't able to say as much because the next thing he knew, his eyebrows were disappearing into his fringe. Say what now? "Seen someone die?" he repeated, processing this information.
Eventually he regained the ability to move and speak and he climbed into the carriage with new-found energy. "I'm Zeke, hi," he added after Zhenya's self-introduction. New girl, or at least she was new to him. "So, how does that work? The seeing people die and seeing thestrals thing?" HOW WAS THAT A THING?!
Zhenya nodded to Zeke, who seemed quite excited about all this new information. " Yes, together of course! I'd like to know more about them, actually," she added. She did, really. She hadn't studied them, all she knew was just what she had mostly overheard from others. But it would be interesting to find out why they could only be seen buy those who have witnessed death and how they were created. That sort of thing.
Aww, he was very sweet. Zhenya climbed on up, and was on standby in case he needed a hand getting up. But no, he was fine. She was interested to see, actually, whether he said anything, or whether the new girl would, about their stories. Could the girl actually see them? She wasn't sure. She opened her mouth to say something when she saw his eyebrows basically disappear. Was it from some kind of shock or grief? No, no, he recovered quickly and started asking more questions. She too looked towards the girl, wondering if she knew more information. Could she explain it?
