"It's not silly.. it's the truth. Sometimes getting dirty is all a part of the adventure." It was fun. "Oh!" Bry, reached out to try to grab a hold of Drake before he could fall backwards. "That one was trying to take you down.. I saw it!' She laughed even more. "Umm, sometimes but when I'm really in the zone I'm not thinking about anything but completely the course." It was a lot of hard work though.

Bryony smiled brightly. "I bet there's some really great ones further back in the patch." There were so many they could choose from. It shouldn't be too difficult to find a few to bring back with them to help make their dorms more cheery. Reaching down , she wrapped her hands around the base of some not so well looking weeds and yanked. The handful came up relatively easily and she dropped them into a pile. "Yup! It's a lot of the same girls since first year so I know most of them pretty good." True she was closer with a few of them than others, but that happened sometimes.
She had a very good point, though he had never considered as such. Getting dirty could be part of the adventure, whether that adventure was just one of learning something new, learning what NOT to do (in the case of falling down) and was a far more literal adventure in the sense of learning to sneak into the Prefects bathroom to clean up (not that he would ever). He appreciated her attempt to stop him, and Drake grinned up at her to show as much as he re situated again to balance on his feet so he could grab more weeds. "I suppose I can't blame them if they fight back. We ARE literally uprooting them from their homes." But they picked the wrong spot for homes.

Though... truthfully with the way he said it, he was suddenly feeling a little guilty about the task at hand. Oops.

"Does thinking about the course mean though that you're like really strategizing and stuff on how to do each obstacle? Or does your body just kind of take over and it's muscle memory at this point?" His attention turned fully to her for a moment, not bothering to grab another handful of weeds while his head tilted and he waited for Bry's response. When conversation turned further to pumpkins, Drake glanced over at the rest of the patch, straining his eyes to see those waaaay on the outskirts. "I think you're probably right! We'll have the whole place looking cheery in no time. Great idea, Bryony!" Because he wasn't trying to take credit for her good idea. As for dormmates? He could certainly understand and appreciate knowing some better than others. Drake wouldn't say he disliked anyone in his dorm, but of course he had made far stronger attachment bonds to Aryan and then Jansher. "Do you have a favorite dormmate?" He asked, quietly of course so no one could overhear their conversation. He wouldn't blame her if she declined to answer, but he was merely curious.
