Ashlie nodded slowly with an arched brow. "I seee," she said slowly, tilting her head. "You realize, do you not, that you are making this sound vaguely much like something illeagal?" A grin toyed on her lips as she said that; she actually could quite see it, Xavier being some kind of bandit. He never was much of one for rules or respect back at school.
Except, he'd grown up and he certainly seemed different.
She opened her mouth to reply when a vague shout caught her attention; she was certain her name was being called. whirling around, almost toppling out of the boat, Ashlie turned to the source of the sound; some girl back on the "beach". She blinked a few times, distance making it hard to make out any features, the black hair seeming unfamiliar.
"What the h-" she asked, bewilered.
Another figure joined the shouter though, and she was certain that she knew the bespeckled asian girl. Excitement bubbled in her chest, brimming and filling her.
"Peony! Nikki!" she gasped. She didn't know if Xavier would even remember Peony, let alone the Slytherin girl, and she probably didn't realize how badly her bouncing in the seat rocked the boat.
"Nope, nothing illegal," Xavier said, smiling. "I'm not at school anymore, I'm a law-abiding citizen for the most part. I do jaywalk occasionally."
He looked to shore. "Do you want to drive up and see them?" he asked motioning to the girls on the shore.
