He did not like the whiny voice of Mariel's though. When she caught up with him he smiled at her. "Bit cold out huh?" he said grinning. "Sorry that I didn't wait.." he really did feel bad now. It had been colder than he expected. He would have held her hand but the Ravenclaw had them shoved in her pockets. "Like the outfit? I got a package of clothes from my Gran the other day."
Standing in one place in this kind of weather was not a particularly good idea, and Mariel began to shiver somewhat as she still kept one eye on the strange girl. "Yeah. It's cold," she repeated flatly to Nathaniel as she removed her gloved hands from her pockets to tug her hat down further over her ears. "Oh. That's alright," she said with a soft shrug. It didn't matter that much although she did wonder what his rush was.
Mariel gave Nathaniel an appraising look as he mentioned his clothing. She gave an approving nod. "I like it, it's cool." The fifteen year old turned her eyes in the direction of the shops which she was sure had to be much warmer than where they were standing, before glancing back at Nathaniel and unnamed girl. Certainly they were not going to stand around with Miss Damsel-in-Distress, right? It was far too cold for that.
