"Okay," she said, and followed the others towards a tree. Whilst she waited for Kaitlynn to lure out a bowtruckle, Hanna was saying "AK-key-oh, AK-key-oh, AK-key-oh," moving her mouth around to get the sound right. "AK-key-oh." And again, again, again. Merlin, she didn't want to make a fool of herself. Performance anxiety. She raised her wand, not really pointing it at anything, and practiced the wand movement. One side, arching to the other side.

Right. She was ready. Accio wood lice. In her non-wand hand she had the container ready to store the wood lice that she hoped she could summon.

Jessa nodded when Kaitlyn made her choice, resigned to supervising for now. Unlike Hanna, she wasn't in need of spell practice and there was nothing to be done until Kaitlyn made the bowtruckle more friendly. Technically there were quite a few things she could do and with the right spells, she could take what they needed without injury but while she would risk that on her own, she wasn't about to put her housemates in the line of fire with her.

It was one thing to make a conscious decision to break rules on your own and an entirely different thing to drag others who somewhat followed you into that rule breaking.

On her own, she'd feel bad if they got in trouble because she wanted to think outside the box. Add the title of Head Girl and she'd be wallowing in guilt.

So yeah, she would put her ideas aside and patiently wait for Kaitlyn to do her thing. If the bowtruckle got out of hand and the girl needed help, she'd step in but otherwise she was apparently just....watching....



Kaitlynn watched trying not to breathe too loud so that she didn't scare away the bowtruckle that walked out upon the branch to take a sniff at the wood lice she offering. She shifted her hand ever so slightly, moving it a little closer...that wasn't the right move. A quick poke to her finger caused the girl she squeak and the little creature running back into the shadows. She switched the wood lice into her other hand. At least it didn't hurt as bad as anticipated and she still had all her body parts.

Looking for another branch she saw a pair of beady eyes staring her down. She moved slowly to the bowtruckle hidden in the shadows and held out her hand waiting. Slowly the bowtruckle came out of the shadows. It was about three inches and pretty tiny. She gave it a smile and with some hesitation the little bowtruckle made its way into her hand eating some of the wood lice.

"Hey, little one," she said smiling. She reached into her pocket and pulled out a fairy egg offering it out to it. Without a sound, it took the egg and made its way to her shoulder where it sat while it ate. "I guess that means we're in the clear," she said to her partners. She passed up a few more wood lice to the bowtruckle on her shoulder and smiled as she watched it eat.
