An icy swoop and a tingle along her forearms into goosebumps and she was certain that, for once, her inclinations would produce fruit ... only to be met instead with a loud CRUNCHING sound as though someone (Mercer) had attempted to eat an entire bag of very crispy crisps at once. It was another noise that had startled her, all the hairs on her arm standing on end, and she sharply inhaled copious amounts of dust from the various ropes and oars she leapt backwards into. Some of the oars came toppling off the wall, bouncing off the deck and into the water towards her surprise guest.
"ACHII!" Mitsuki mouth quickly covered itself into the bend of her arm to try and muffle her sneeze and when her eyes opened (because one simply had to close their eyes while sneeze) she was clutching a bouquet of wilted orange lilies. The Ravenclaw blinked a few times in utter confusion before adjusting her gaze back towards the source of the crunch, which had apparently been the side of one of the boats coming off, and her exceptionally ordinary guest of an older students in the water.
Disappointing, though not nearly as much as the reveal of the sphinx she supposed.
The panic on his face, she presumed, was related to how cold the water was since she had missed the whole sight of him being the reason the boat had broken...and was not beginning to sink. The grindylows would probably enjoy the change of scenery at the bottom of the lake.
"Perhaps you should climb out of there if you are cold," she suggested calmly, her nose beginning to itch again and she looked for a vase or...somewhere to put the wilted lilies in her hand.
Or perhaps she would press them in the friendship tome her and Mercer were keeping.
