And then the Groundskeeper spoke!

What was worse? Not being in the loop with your excellent guy friend or being told by a staff member they would feed you to a giant squid if you didn't call him by his proper name? Like he could understand!

And still she couldn't speak...

Nope, not yet....

Still not....OH WAIT

"I....err...."

Almost!

"Yeah!" She finally closed her mouth as she looked to the water. "Squid...Pet....Friends....OHMYGODICAN'TBELIEVEYOU TWO!! WEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!" She then covered her mouth. Maybe right now was not the time? "Squid...yes! I know!" She looked at Mr. Groundskeeper and smiled, then walked over to the water.

Robert had barely registered what was being said by Masterson when he heard a squeel coming from the direction of Lyra who was looking into the water. Turning his head he raised his eyebrow and smirked. She knew him too well that was for sure to have been able to put that innocent move into such accurate a thought.

"I'm with you there," she said, before she glanced back up at Robert as he answered the question she had asked him about his thoughts.

"I'm sure Bartholemew Henry didn't have any sinister reasons behind whatever he did last term," she said, completely sincerely. She had no reason to think the squid was out to hurt them. Or at least she had never heard of him hurting the students. "Maybe he was just tired of all the people flying over his lake, and you just happened to be the unfortunate one to be in the wrong place at the wrong time," she murmured, a faint smile creeping onto her face when he kissed her cheek. It wasn't something she was still quite used to, but she was finding she liked little things like that.

But then the groundskeeper was speaking again, and her attention went back to him, completely missing the expression on Lyra's face. "Of course, Mr. Masterson," she said, completely honest and intending to listen to him. In a way, she actually felt validated, like her theory she had had about the squid responding to people being polite was being confirmed. Of course, she hadn't the faintest idea what a giant squid would consider a compliment, but she figured she could come up with something. And then she heard the squeal from Lyra, and her earnest contemplation of squid compliments was temporarily pushed to the back of her mind as she turned to look at the Huffie again, slightly confused. But, of course, Lyra had apparently decided to humor the groundskeeper, and gone to the edge of the cliff to wait for the squid. I guess finding out what that was about will have to wait, she thought, glancing at Robert once more before going back to thinking of possible compliments.

Turning back to Liz he shrugged, "Probably but that doesn't mean that I can't be mad at the bloody thing." Seeing her smile when he kissed her cheek he gave her a squeeze against his side and smiled. He knew when she had heard Lyra because of the confused look on her face. Leaning down he whispered so only she heard, "It seems my best friend knows me too well and has figured things out. To think what a simple kiss on the cheek can tell someone who knows you." Smirking he kissed her cheek again and looked back at Lyra, shaking his head. As everyone went back to trying to think of ways to coax the squid up he just stood there with a bemused expression on his face. Do they realize how silly this looks?

She turned and waved at Robert, who'd just joined the group. She started to answer his question about what they were up to, but Elizabeth beat her to it. Instead, Anna reached down and grabbed another fish, tossing it quickly into the water below. She peered over the edge and searched for any sign of the squid, but when she saw none, she sat up straight once again.

"Draw him out with a bubblehead?" Anna asked Robert. "Do you know how big that thing is? He'd have us caught and tossed out the lake before we could even realize what was happening." She picked up a fish, grabbed Robert's hand, and smacked the fish lightly in his palm. "Try that instead. He supposedly appears for them."

"Compliment him, eh?" Anna asked the groundskeeper. "Now that I can handle...if he'll ever appear. How long does it usually take to lure him to the surface?" They must have thrown a ton of fish into the lake by now. This thing was ever not hungry or not willing to meet with them at all.

Anna caught his attention when she repeated his advice and he shrugged, "It was just an idea since apparently sweet talking it isn't exactly working." He dropped his arm from around Liz as Anna dropped a fish in his hand and he laughed, "And what pray tell, am I supposed to do with this thing? Seems to be working as much as getting me to eat anything green does, not at all." It was true, he didn't even eat the green Bertie Bott's beans though he doubt anyone payed attention to that. "Why not offer to buy him a glass of pumpkin juice? You'd probably get on farther...or well maybe a glass of blended whatever he eats more like." He looked down at the fish and made a face, "Blended fish? Lovely." Walking up to Lyra who was by the water he dropped the fish in and looked into the depths as it disappeared. "See? Nothing." Shaking his head he stood back up and looked at Anna. "Think my bubblecharm idea was better," he said with a smirk and laughed giving Liz a glance.
