Everyone in the group Toothless - Napoleon of Crime - Gryffinclaw - Owl Emissary - Pirate Auror - DoctorDonna Oh Lux was joining them...that was...fine. Another person that seemed to be recovering from everything that had happened. He was technically the odd person out seeing as the other two guys had rescued the two girls in the group. Awkward dragon. Benny briefly wondered if either Valentine sister was anywhere around to even things out in the 'stay behind group' so he didn't feel even more a failure. Kinda out of the loop about birthdays and such, he zoned out, returning when Henric went on about food for him and Ilia's sake.
Caribbean shrimps with pineapple salsa...Benny supposed he could go for that. "Alright..." he said, acknowledging Henric's help. Finding the item on the buffet, he added some to the plate he had picked up. Though he'd avoid the exploding lemonade being talked about, even if he was sure Adi was pulling his other friend's leg. Tongue Tying Lemon Squish was more his style if he caught the drift of the name and it was indeed sour. So that was retrieved as well as some spicy jerked fish and carribean crab cakes along the way.
See...he was going to eat.
...at some point.
Oh look....there was the headmistress...clearly enjoying herself.
However his attention was drawn back to the bestie as the older Hufflepuff looked once more at him. So they were going to talk about it now...here? Benny took a deep breathe to think of what exactly to say."It never came up..." he said at first, trying to find the right words. "It was never that bad. Not with every little spider." At least not anymore. It was the large bulk and sheer number of the acromantulas that had really gotten him that day. |
