At least until lunch time that is.
With a clear schedule - because that History of Magic essay could wait - Derf made his way out to the grounds in search of this igloo he had heard his housemates speaking of. Finding it at a bit of a distance (much approval of the location!) Derf quickened his pace and sprinted the rest of the way, bolting inside and failing to notice that Xavvie was present.
"Woooow," he whispered, wonder clearly reflected in his bright blue eyes as he spun in place to take everything in. "NEAT!" Wait...was this enchanted ice? Like...HOW did this ice come here? Was it conjured ice? Or like...did the groundskeeper lug on this ice out here from the big freezer places in the castle and then just charm it to stay frozen. So many questions were on the tip of Derf tongue - which was actually hanging out of his mouth right now like an eager crup...which also somewhat hanging out due to his mild exhaustion from sprinting and needing some water.
WATER! Ice was just frozen water. He could just lick the wall to re-hydrate!
.....................UH OH.
"AAAAAALP....AAAAAAAAAAAALP!"
Once inside, Xavvie extended her curiosity to everything else. Carefully, she touched one of the statues, enjoying the feel of the slippery ice but also taking care not to break anything. She wasn't exactly confident that she could fix what she might break and so she wasn't really interested in testing that skill. It was a good thing that she had moved away just then because she heard a distressed sort of muffled cry for help. Had someone else knocked over a statue and was now trapped underneath it? How had that happened and she hadn't heard a thing?
Xavvie followed the sound and found Derf with his tongue stuck to the ice. Aha. "That was not a smart idea." Just saying. Her little brother knew better than to lick ice. Although, Xavvie wasn't quite sure how to fix it? "Maybe you should just... rip it off? Like a bandage?" |
