In that moment he took to steady himself over the bench, Frankie took the opportunity to breathe in the cool air through his nostrils and out through his mouth slowly, his heartbeat steadying with each breath. The blond then stood up and set his foot on the bench so stretch out his legs. Leg cramps were definitely not something he wanted to endure at this time in the morning, especially with Defence being his first class that day after breakfast.

He had just switched legs when he heard someone approaching him. The crunching of the autumn leaves that had fallen gave whoever was sneaking up on him away. Immediately he turned his head, prepared to make a beeline for the castle if it was the hag that had come to knock him out and drag him to her tent. Fortunately, the old hag was nowhere in sight. Instead a much younger hag-to-be was standing there, which made him feel slightly relieved yet confused at her approaching him. The two were neither friends nor enemies, really. It would have made more sense to just carry on as if the other was not there.

But was 'eww' all she really had to say? The boy was tempted to comment on how she should be saying nice things about him since he was a prefect and everything. However, he knew just as well as she did that he wasn't a very pretty sight right now. His hair was disheveled, he was covered in sweat, and he didn't exactly smell the best. Such were the downfalls of physical activity.

"Thanks, Brooklyn. Your opinion is always appreciated," the blond said sarcastically, rolling his eyes. His lips then formed a tight grin as he opened his arms nice and wide as he took a step toward her. "Does someone want a bear hug?" Oh, she most certainly did.

She just had to make sure she didn’t end up walking too close to a certain area near the forest, but then after the acromantulas she wasn’t exactly apt to wander too close to the forest anyhow. Anything spider-related was bad to her, and the forest counted. However, the lake didn’t count, and she’d walked out to the shore to sit and read for a bit. Maybe the ground wasn’t as comfortable as the chairs in the common room, but it was quieter. Besides, one little charm and it was easy to fit a blanket into her bag to sit on. She’d been sitting out at the lake for a while, occasionally looking up as the squid poked a tentacle out or some other creature made itself known but for the most part tuning everything else out. After awhile though, especially after reading about feasts and such, she had gotten hungry and that meant having to head inside. She’d stood, balling the blanket up and shoving it inside her bag before setting her book inside as well and starting to walk back up toward the castle. As she reached the pathways, a familiar figure paused several feet in front of her and she stopped. She’d seen Frankie out running, but then as long as he’d not noticed her, she hadn’t chosen to acknowledge him. Until now, as she started walking closer and scrunched her nose slightly at the sweat staining his sweatshirt. “Ew,” she said softly, otherwise not really saying much. Honestly, she didn’t even particularly care if he’d heard her.
