"These are rather nice." Rayna said to herself and took a deep breath of the fresh air. She took out the Plants and Flowers reference book that her mother insisted she bring with her and glanced through it, trying to identify the specimen.
"Mountain Aven...Dryas octopetala." Rayna read aloud and made a notation in her reference book. "These are pretty little things." She glanced up as she heard a slight rustling in the grass in front of her.
A rather small adder snake must have been sunning himself on some of the rocks nearby, and was slithering away into the tall grass.
"Better pay more attention." Rayna told herself. Wouldn't want to trample, or get bitten by her house mascot.
Daniel was bored, he was very bored. He had been relaxing after all those stressful lessons, why couldn't they just ease them in, well anyway he suddenly saw something that cheered him up, standing there was Rayna, his best friend... well he thought she was anyway. He had no idea if she thought so too.
Daniel decided to have a little bit of fun, tip-toeing over to her, he tapped her on the shoulder whilst shouting. "TAG!" He then turned and legged it off towards the other end of the pathway.
