Heath had to bite his lip to stop himself from giggling the moment Claudine did. It was only then that he noticed her outfit. His heart fluttered, and he dropped his gaze so as not to stare at her like a lovesick idiot. They were in lessons, for Merlin’s sake! If he did, everyone in the room would guess his feelings and be able to use them against him. “Thank you,” he replied, smiling. “I like yours too.” He blinked, slightly caught off guard by the question. He had been so busy coming up with a costume that he hadn’t yet thought of a name for his character! He mentally ran through the list of fictional characters he knew that wore an outfit similar to his, but he knew she probably wouldn’t get any of those references. Asdfjkl! Now what? Stay in character, he reminded himself. Think on your feet! That’s what a good actor does… He decided to play the mysterious stranger angle. “That’s for me to know and you to find out in due time…”

Fiona’s compliment also got a slight smile from him. “Thank you.” Was he supposed to compliment her back? Was it rude not to? Would Claudine be jealous if he did? “Your outfit is nice too.”

Heath had barely spoken when Professor Kitridge moved things on. To his own surprise, he was a bit disappointed to hear they weren't allowed to keep their outfits. Darn! He rather liked the hat and the long coat, but never mind. He blinked, unsure what to make of the next set of instructions. He did not like the idea of walking that carpet! It seemed that that was just asking to be ridiculed by some of his classmates. The thought of all those eyes judging him, not as a character he played but as himself, had him internally panicking. Nope, he was an actor, not a model! Then that got him thinking. If he was going to have a career as an actor, he would need to get used to the red carpet.

Taking a deep breath, he got up and put his hat back on before he could change his mind. Treat it like a curtain call, he thought. That was the only way he could get through it without feeling too self conscious. He walked purposefully down the carpet, pausing at the end to doff his hat and bow. Then he turned on his heel, his coat billowing behind him, and returned to his seat to answer the written questions:

Quote:

If wearing pants, which leg do you put in first? Right
If wearing a dress or dress robes did you put it on wrong by mistake? Not wearing either of these things, but if we were counting a long coat, the answer is no.
If you have a tie which hand do you use to loop it? Right
Are your shoelaces tied or untied? These shoes don’t have laces.
If a button down shirt did you get all the buttons evenly? Yes
Did you pick something to blend in or stand out? A bit of both. The style of the outfit stands out, but the neutral colors keep it from attracting too much attention.
