Anashti l Brat Pack l Sally & Dr. Finklestein Drake flinched at Aryan's flinch, instantly feeling bad that his friend thought he was going to HURT him. Drake was not a violent sort either, but he'd taken a couple karate classes just for self defenses purposes after some of the kids at school had teased him a few years back for being such a cry baby. It wasn't HIS fault that he was emotional!! Or that THEY were the ones being mean! So now it was just instinct to at least get in a defensive pose when he was startled.
Which was still rather silly, given the fact that Drake was the one who invited them and should have been fully aware of it.
Once Bryony and Aryan had made their selections, his bag was infinitely lighter and he pulled out a blue and red one which was just the first his hand touched before moving the bag towards Gilly again noticing she had yet to select. There were certainly enough anyone could take a second and he nearly did so from the beginning before deciding he'd probably just accidentally drop it later and it was better off not for the time being. He could come back later to the bag.
So instead he circled back to the whispered debate on the fountain. "I think I'm the one whose right this time!" Because the fountain HAD to have eyes. There was a creature thing in it right? Didn't all creatures have some means of sight? And if the fountain was controlled by magic, couldn't the creature with it's eyes BE that magic?? So yes, he was standing metaphorically by the fact that for first time he was right as he pushed himself to a stand - before gravity promptly pulled him back down and he fell before he could make it from around the table. Oops. "Um uhh we should run at it now!" And spray the fountain!!
Until they probably got bored of that and turned on each other. Hopefully the Leaky Cauldron proprietor wasn't annoyed by them.
