His gaze snapped toward the source of the motion: a girl in Slytherin, Teagan, he recognized from their shared classes.

Nyle’s blue eyes widened, and his first instinct was to keep walking, to leave her to her practice ... but then the curiosity tugged at him. After shuffling his steps a few times, Nyle decided to approach slowly, careful not to startle her - as if she were some unicorn foal who had stumbled haphazardly onto the Hogwarts grounds. "Hey, that was really good," Nyle called out, his voice friendly but tentative. He rubbed the back of his neck nervously, suddenly aware that he’d probably interrupted her flow. "I, er, I didn't mean to distract you, I just... didn't know skateboards could handle paths like these." He gestured vaguely at the ground beneath their feet, unsure if she even wanted to talk right now.

It was easy enough to avoid any tree rots with basic flips, so Teagan had advanced to making them varying levels of difficulty. She needed to work on coming up with new variations if she wanted to be someone who won competitions after all. The fact she hadn’t considered an audience to her current activities was another thing altogether, and one she’d dwell on later, turning to face the boy who had spoken after the 360 flip she’d just done to avoid another troublesome spot in the pathway. “Thanks”, she responded, flipping the board up into her hand after stepping off.

A bit of a break wasn’t too big of a deal, and she figured it didn’t hurt to practice fielding questions either. There were many aspects of her career, after all.

“Usually they aren’t, but I’m kind of limited in places I can practice while I’m here as is”, she continued, shrugging slightly. “Do you ride?” It was honest curiosity that had made her ask the question. He didn’t look the part, but that meant nothing. Having others she could practice with might be nice.
