 Lovely™ | Captain Hurted | Ariana's Bane | Resident Antagonist | Unparalleled Delight
A greeting drew Abra's attention and brought him out of his musings. He looked towards the speaker to find Cameron Tamesis of Slytherin had also joined him on the pitch. Cameron was one of those people that Abra mostly knew by association, through friends (or acquaintances) of friends (or acquaintances). Despite being in the same year group and therefore the same classes all the way up to this point - almost halfway through their entire Hogwarts lives - an opportunity or reason to interact had never really cropped up.
Ultimately, Abra didn't know for certain what kind of person Cameron was, and it was for that reason that he decided to put the possibility of trying out his idea on the back-burner. Tamesis didn't seem the sort to try and get him in trouble for trying out DARING (i.e., dangerous) STUNTS, but it probably wasn't a good idea to operate on that assumption, actually.
"Hey," Abra returned the greeting, pulling his broom up a little higher so it was a decent distance from the ground, and then sliding himself off the side of it. Instead of dropping to the floor, he hung from the broom handle by both hands, and dangled there for a moment. There was a reason behind this, of course; in Quidditch games people often ended up in this situation, hanging off the broom by either one hand or two after being bashed by a bludger or rolling to avoid something or just plain sliding off. Abra tried to avoid doing that if he could, but he also preferred to be prepared just in case it happened anyway. Upper body strength was not his forte, so he liked to know he'd be able to hold onto his broom and pull himself back up to it if he needed to.
While he dangled there, the thought briefly entered Abra's head to show off how many chin-ups he could do from this position, but a second later he remembered that actually he was totally rubbish at chin-ups actually, and could do a grand total of one and a half, so that was probably not a good idea. Instead, he stayed as he was and turned his attention back to Cameron Tamesis.
"Are you..." he started, and then trailed off for a moment when his courage left him, because talking to people that weren't his friends could be a bit (read: extremely) anxiety-provoking. But it wasn't like they were complete strangers either, which was probably what made it a little easier for Abra to clear his throat, psych himself up, and try again.
"Are you trying out too?" He assumed that that was the case, given what he knew about Cameron, particularly that they had something in common where flying was concerned. Specifically Bel Macindoe.
