...but what had he done to his face? This kid, honestly.

Having missed the whole ash situation while his attention lay elsewhere, he patted his pocket for his wand first of all. "...you...want me to get all that off your face for you?" The Gryffindor would not really consider it a look that would strike terror in anyone's heart...but it sure did bring out the Ravenclaw's eyes. Big time. "That's...an ace starting point," he nodded with a gentle sort of encouragement. Hated the idea though, no offense. "I would say that is more of a test of...spookability rather than courage though. What ideas do you got rolling around in your head for a test of integrity?"

Courage, eh. There were likely to be tons of those concepts floating around and were the most standard of proceedings with these things. Make teenagers face off against dangerous creatures, face great peril, yada yada yada.

"No, you can't wipe it off. It's my badge of honor for putting my name in the Goblet," Mercer batted off the older boy's attempts to clean him. He wanted his ashy battle mask in place, especially if it made him extra spooky. Where was Mitsuki to admire how SPooOoOky he was?

"You don't want to do courage? Integrity?" Integrity was much less exciting to watch in a contest, frankly. Like people pulling out chairs for each other or something. "OH, okay, like... what if it's a trick? On the way to the next task, you run into someone who needs a hand. And if you stop to help them, and effectively through all of their 'oops, I just keep dropping these packages' issues, then you get top marks. But if you blow past them to the event, for your own personal gain, then you lose."
