And there was Josh shooting up out of Noah's lap as if he had been burned. OH THANK MERLIN. Luckily none of their roommates had been here to witness such an... a thing? He didn't have a great word to describe what had just happened. It was an accident. Nothing more.

He'd been a boy in love... Or infatuation. He didn't know. The time spent outside of his own dorm made him feel incredibly uncomfortable back in the dorm but he had ignored it. He didn't feel part of the group.... He had Minjae after all, didn't he? He had at first felt upset with the first interaction with his dormmates - especially when he had asked about a Ravenclaw girl who had.... well.... It had gotten him into a mess and he felt horrible. That was part of his reason for avoiding the dorm because he felt awful about that. Even though he SHOULDN'T have felt bad about that.... he STILL did.

"Oh good! Skeet or Spence had mentioned something last year and then... things happened," he said with a shrug, not wanting to go into further detail because it really wasn't important now. Standing up, he grabbed his book. Standing up was simpler. And it was easier. He turned to gaze over his shoulder at Josh. "I was joking about the initiation thing, y'know..." And he would have said more but then Josh mentioned something about swimming. Why on EARTH was he talking about swimming? What an odd topic, indeed.

He fully turned around, perplexed by such a question, not knowing that Josh was referring to any incident with HIS best friend and Slytherin Prefect. Noah shrugged. "I like swimming. What of it?" He didn't know what Josh was getting at with such a comment but perhaps Josh was merely attempting to break the silence like a polar bear broke ice. Icebreakers... Right. "Do you like to swim?"
