Anyways, no sooner had he stepped outside than Abey noticed the playground out on the horizon and dashed right for it. The running was good actually because even though it made the air even colder on his face, it warmed the rest of his body up. Because this place? COLD. Way colder than Egypt actually, JUST BY THE WAY. It was a shock to the system that Abey Botros had in no way been prepared for.

But playing at the playground would warm him up for sure.

After leaping for the sand and landing with both feet at the same time, Abey started to make for the tether ball, wanting to see if he could maybe cling onto the ball like a little monkey and then fly around the pole with it. ExCEPT, he noticed that someone ELSE was nearby. Someone who had been at the Sorting, so probably a first year, though as to his house... Abey had already been in tears by that point actually and so had missed all of... everything else. Ahem.

He stalled in what he was doing, staring at the upside down boy, and trying to decide if he should pretend that he wasn't there at all, or try to make a friend. Making a friend was the best option actually, but actually already the nerves and shyness was threatening to taking over. So, rather than do anything, Abey simply dithered over trying to make a decision, biting at the tip of his index finger and glancing across at the other boy.

And sending 'Friend?' vibes, like that might do the trick.

Ok, so Kane didn't last very long upside down before he felt himself getting dizzy, and he slowly sat up so that he was sitting upright again on the monkey bars. Thank Merlin his abs were still strong enough to pull himself up like that otherwise he might have found himself falling head first into the ground...that would NOT be a good way to start his term here.

As he regained his balance and let the blood disperse from his brain or wherever it went when you were upside down, he realized that a boy was staring at him. Ohhhh wait, he recognized this kid. Wasn't he the one who started crying after his sorting?? Kane wasn't sure WHY, because Gryffindor was a perfectly respectable house from what he had read...but who knew what was going through the minds of first years. He WAS a first year, right? He looked about his age, maybe younger...

Ok, now they were just staring at each other. Someone had to say SOMETHING because this was getting weird.

"You want a go on the monkey bars?" he asked with a smile, wondering if maybe THAT was why he wasn't moving. Was Kane taking up too much space? He kind of WAS hogging the whole thing...

Oh wow, it had gotten CROWDED here all of a sudden.
