"It's okay to be down at times," he began, "it's normal. Happens to the best of us," then he paused, thinking what he should say next. He decided making Tiberius felt comfortable would be a perfect start. He wasn't sure about this next move, but he did it anyway; he scooted over so that he was sitting closer to Tiberius. He continued, "I know we've known each other for only like 5 minutes--or less, but I'm a good listener." he ended, smiling.

"So if you feel like.. Talking to somebody, you can talk to me." he said again, his mind already processing what would be Tibi's reactions, "I might not be that smart, but.. I'd do all I could to help." that's it. He couldn't say any more.
Tibi put his fork down as he listened. He smiled, gratefully. "I'm sure you're loads smart... really." Tibi spoke sincerely. "But... I don't know what you can do to help." Tibi frowned.

"I.." should he say? Figuring it couldn't hurt much, he continued, "I.. I get scared really easily and that defense against the dark arts homework really freaked me out..." Tibi sighed. "I mean.. I could do the spells... but I was afraid to. You know?" Tibi hoped Rayedem would know what he was talking about.

Slumping his shoulders ever further, he continued. "Plus... I'm afraid of fl..." but he was cut off as he heard the beating of wings. Looking up, he saw he little elf owl return with a package in her claws. "Pidgin!" Tibi yelled, momentariliy forgetting his glumness, a smile spreading across his face.

That smile faded quickly as Pidgin swooped down and dropped the package in Tibi's plate of now-gray mush, sending it splattering.

Leave all your fears behind

You can float across a rainbow sky
