Mom says I have no sense of direction, so I packed my bags and right. Taliesin blushed in embarrassment as the one girl spoke of him as if he weren't there after he had just made such an odd statement of 'you're not a cat' to her. "I-I know she's not a cat. I just thought I heard him since I'm trying to track him...unsuccessfully he mumbled that last bit under his breath...Huh wasn't she the girl Water Balloon Girl from his House?
Tal's face seemed to only prefer stark white, or rose red colors over the past minute. As his face went red from embarrassment back to white with fear. "Do-don't say that!" He whispered harshly. "There's definitely a rule. It's real dangerous. Even being this close." She was right though, they weren't technically in the forest. So the threat seemed to be only that. A threat. One that worked on the young Hufflepuff. "We're sorry, sirs." Yes he was apologizing on behalf of the girl who thought it wise to talk back. "I don't even think my Cat would risk going in there." He hoped so.
He turned with the intention of leaving. To put an immense distance from him and the Forest's edge, when he heard the clopping of hooves coming nearer. He did not see any horse of sorts.
Taliesin had not seen one ever. Just pictures from Textbooks, but they were certainly deadly looking horses. Ones that Death themselves would ride upon. "Welp, Best Be Off!" He said to no one but himself to drown out the scary sensation of a Thestral approaching them from somewhere....somewhere and he started to march off back towards the Castle.
