It wasn’t worth getting bitten again, that was for sure. Watching as she continued to think about that castle of theirs, the boy’s blue eyes widened when she answered his question about whether she had any mini-shovels he could use.

There was no mini-shovels?! What? Okay, that was going to be a HUGE problem. Only being Herbology and Potions was as close as it was to him getting dirty on purpose; there were no other acceptions to that either. Nope, there was no way that she was going to get him to help her if there weren’t any mini-shovels around the place. Surely there had to be some somewhere around here, it was a sandbox for Merlin’s sake! Honestly. There was no way he, Seth Benjamin Paton, was going to get his hands all dirty and end up getting sand under his fingernails.

However, that was until a mouse showed up into the whole picture. If Seth wasn’t beyond afraid of the girl and her peculiarity, he for sure was now because of that mouse…

Letting a weak smile cover up the discomfort that would’ve shown on his face if the mouse hadn’t retreated to the back of the girl’s neck, the Hufflepuff couldn’t help but thank God that he mouse was just as scared of him as he was scared of the mouse. Although nothing was very scary about the mouse on the outside, as it looked just like any ordinary mouse, it still gave him the heebie-jeebies. Knowing the girl (who apparently had a name which was Cassadee), she had probably trained that mouse to bite just as hard as she herself could bite anyone. “Okay, Cassadee. … Umm. No. My name is Seth. Not ‘Sandcastle Squisher.’ Okay?” And until she got that right, he wasn’t going to help her build their sandcastle. Oh snap!
Cassadee frowned as he looked panicked at the fact there were no shovels. "If you use a shovel, you can accidentally squish a castle easy as making one with a shovel. So no shovels." She explained slowly, crossing her arms. Jeez, what a thick-head. It was common sense that using a shovel usually resulted in tears after you destroyed the castle, because it was too perfect. "No problemo, right?"

Cassadee frowned as he tried to explain his name. Not Sandcastle Squisher? "But that's what you are, Seff!" she protested, flailing slightly. "You're a Sandcastle Squisher, 'cause that's what you did to the last castle. So now you're helping make a new one, and then we're gonna squish this one all over again. So you're a Sandcastle Squisher." She explained, slowly like before. It didn't matter if it would take a billion years for him to accept it - he was Sandcastle Squisher. Easy as that.

"Seff is a Sandcastle Squisher. 'Nuff said." She finalized, crossing her arms and cocking an eyebrow, challenging him to defy her not-so common sense, as the mouse peeked out at Seth Seff from the top of Cassadee's shoulder, staring directly at Seth's hair... Which would be a perfect spot to hide itself later.
