But he was still surprised whenever she revealed something she wasn't great at, because in his eyes Bronwen was pretty perfect. He bit his lip before he insited that she was probably better than him, though, because he had noticed that such affirmations could make people feel awkward, or that they would think he was trying to compete. See, he was LEARNING. "Maybe we should practice together sometime, then," he said instead, though the last time they'd tried to study together had ended up with... well, with no studying happening at all.

"Sweet, we can definitely head over there later, then," Reuben agreed, briefly glancing over to the barrel roll location. When they eventually got there and he realised it was more spellwork and NOT him rolling down the hill in a barrel he would be sorely disappointed, but for now he was happily oblivious.

This time, however, he was definitely batting the compliment back. "I'm not bad, but I don't hold a candle to you," he said, lifting their arms up so she could spin underneath. Because, truly, she just made him (and everyone else, he assumed) want to stop and watch. She was magic.

It was true that the last time they had tried to study together, it hadn't gone entirely as planned. But Bronwen would be remiss to say she didn't have the best time. It was weird, in a way. She had learned nothing about charms or potions or transfiguration that day, but she did learn a lot about Reuben, and that was quite nice actually. So when he suggested they try practicing the summoning charm together sometime, Bon smiled, "Yeah?" She was clearly delighted by the idea. "I'd love that actually." Even if they didn't ever get to practicing it. She wouldn't mind that either.

"It's a date," she winked, so pleased with herself for being so clever. See? She could be clever too, it wasn't just a trait reserved for Cyprien. Though, she wouldn't feel very clever once she learned what the barrel roll actually was ... but for now, she was happily oblivious too.

Because weirdly? Like ~sooooooo weirdly. She was having so much fun with Reuben just like this. Like, she wouldn't be mad if they never got to playing any of the games. In fact, she was having the absolute time of her life, swaying and spinning and laughing with him. As she twirled beneath his arms, she found herself blushing in response to his sweet words. "Reuben." asdfgjkl. He always said the kindest things. "Do you say that to every girl?" There was a second question too, but that one she chose not to voice.
