He supposed the current design helped a little. "Ow," he commented with a flinch, thinking about the discomfort Quidditch players must have felt before the cushioning charm.
His eyebrows went up at her declaration. "You'd better make it on the team, then," he grinned. "A new broomstick and your own fanbase," founder and sole member of which was sitting right next to her, "you're basically a pro already!" Maybe she would even follow that path after graduating. "Have you thought of a model you'd like?" Not like he would know anything aside from what he'd briefly spotted in the displays on Diagon Alley, but he liked seeing her so passionate about something.
He hummed in acknowledgement when she'd mentioned her brother was, in fact, a toddler, deciding it wasn't the right moment to share that, while he was great with infant creatures and loved nurturing them, the same didn't apply to small kids, nor was he particularly fond of them. He hoped he would take that fact to the grave with him.
At her following statement, however, he looked at her with a cat-just-ate-the-canary grin. "What do I do now that you've found my greatest weakness?" he asked with a laugh, his cheeks reddening.
Shera nodded in agreement with Daehyun's comment.
"No they would've been really slow, but all brooms were quite slow and didn't overall improve in speed until the 1900s when a bunch of companies were established to sell broomsticks," back to rambling. Ooops? She had tried. But then Daehyun kept making comments and she couldn't help herself.
"Yeah... I don't think I'd enjoy flying half as much if we were dealing with those kind of broomsticks..." Daehyun's ouch didn't really cover it. But... Shera had nothing better to be able to describe that, besides pulling a face as she tried to imagine the discomfort of a broom without a cushioning charm.
She giggled the moment that he had commented about her fanbase of one. It still amused her to no end how enthusiastic it was. At least she knew if she got on the team there would be one friendly face she knew that would always be cheering her on. But basically a pro? She shook her head shyly.
"Maybe one day... but I'm really far away from that at the moment."
First step was still getting on the quidditch team.
"Bluebottle C," she responded quickly. She didn't need time to think about it.
"It's the newest and fastest model you can get at the moment."
And speed was always good in Quidditch. Or just for her own fun.
Daehyun was blushing again, and what was this about her being his greatest weakness?
"My personality is your greatest weakest?" she asked, half teasingly, the boy across from her. She wasn't sure how else to respond. The entire thought of that was just mind boggling.
