"I'm from America, so we're in the same boat," he added with a smile. Same boat being...new kids with accents? Was that was he was going for? Hmmm. Well, Kane either just helped break the ice or he embarrassed this kid he'd just met.

"I won't fall. Or if I do, I'll probably bounce, actually." Abey had heard it from some older kids in his common room that Gryffindors were something called 'resilient', which meant, actually, that they were good at 'bouncing back', which MEANT, that if Abey fell, he would probably bounce. He was learning all sorts of things at Hogwarts.

Anyways, Abey went ahead and climbed on up to join the boy, eventually perching there beside him in exactly the same manner. The mention of his accent actually had Abey breaking out into a grin, because yes! Yes! He had one of those! And he had THOUGHT that the other boy sounded like he wasn't from England, actually, but had not wanted to point it out just in case he had been wrong, because he didn't want to look stupid or anything.

"America!" Abey repeated. He had never been there, but of course he had heard of it. He didn't think there were many people that hadn't. "I'm from Egypt, I've lived there since I was born." And then, because he was so so so curious, and because the concept of transferring hadn't yet crossed his mind... "How come you go to Hogwarts if you're American?"

As he spoke, Abey swung his feet below. It was so so so SO much easier when someone else started off all the talking actually, otherwise he would end up fretting about saying something strange or bothering the person, but NOW he knew exACTLY the right topic, because the other boy had mentioned it first!
