Derf really did have some good ideas sometimes.

OH RIGHT.

They did have to ask permission. But like Abra (Abey) said if it could hold a half giant it could hold three students. It was a long walk back to his Hut and really they could ask for forgiveness later. They would have to vote on it or well just see if they wanted to sail row in general.

"Sailing sounds a a lot more fun than rowing or if we can magically get around the Lake that would be awesome. Just yeah Bartholomew might not like Ventus. Its a long walk back to the Hut just to ask permission"

Théo didnt really care either way but one was not a waste of time.

"I vote we just go out on the Lake and worry about the Groundskeeper later. Unless he is hiding and watching us right now"


Théo took a quick look around suspiciously

Abra's logic about the boats was really good too: and on closer inspection Bel was pretty sure they'd hold just fine. The three of them, because yes she was absolutely including Abra, wouldn't have any trouble really.

"I haven't met Bartholomew Henry yet, but I reckon his name is bonza!"

But now it was question of permission. The boys clearly were inclined to just go ahead and assume they had it, but Bel quite needed to use the loo and didn't much like the idea of being out on a boat with her bladder growing increasingly more urgent with its needs, so she figured she'd just do the asking.

"Well I need to use the dunny, so I'll go run back to the castle," Bel declared shamelessly. Yes, up the cliff, she could run that no sweat, "And on my way back I'll just rock up and ask if we can take her out, then we don't need to worry about him maybe throwing a wobbly if we don't ask."

Sounded good? She looked between the two of them expectantly.


The longer Abra stood still, the more he realised he really needed to figure out how to perfect his warming charms once and for all. He couldn't at all rely on just warm clothes, actually, as it turned out. It was also probably a good idea to stop being so proud and perhaps ask for someone older and wiser and skilled at charms to do the enchantments he needed so desperately, if he kept messing them up himself.

Distracted as he was by the cold, Abra had let his mind wander perhaps a little too long. He tuned back into the conversation just in time to catch the tail end of TAYO's comment: ... unless he is hiding and watching us right now.

It sent shivers up Abra's spine, visceral shivers quite unrelated to the cold and that were intense enough that he actually gave a little start of surprise and looked back behind him to see if there was anything actually there. No. Nothing. And, now he thought about it, Théo had only really been talking about the groundskeeper anyway.

While he collected himself, and before he could think enough to consider what Théo was proposing (and also take notice of the fact that it sounded more and more like HE was included in these plans too), Bel started talking, and... Abra was...

... lost. Very lost. It probably showed on his face too. Luckily, it was not the first time this had happened, so he knew perfectly well why he was suddenly having more trouble understanding her - unlike the early days of their friendship when for some time he had been afraid that he was starting to hear people talk gibberish when they actually weren't.

Abra nodded, because he did sort of get what the general gist of what Bel was proposing."Good plan." Possibly. Maybe? He didn't really pick up on the details at all, and - again - it probably showed.

"... You were just speaking Australian again, weren't you?"
