Kind of like a two year old trying to get your attention. He turned his back on it and could actually feel the breeze from the branches as they tried to squish him. Too far away mizz tree. Grow a little why dontcha?
"Naw, because this here tree is a good way of getting rid of stupid people. Survival of the fittest you know?" He waggled his eyebrows. "Theres a knot hole." He turned around and pointed at it. It was only juuuust visible from where they stood. If you hit that, it'll actually stop the whompers too."
Raising his eyebrows at her snicker James shook his head. "Meh. Hardly saw them anyway. They work for the International Confederation of Wizards, they're magical patent inspectors and they spend most of the time going all around the world checking out inventions and boring things like that. I do miss driving away the tutors I used to get though. Fireworks and pranks and all. That was entertainment." Heh.
"Only a teeny bit rebellious. No detentions yet." Grin.
"Atleast your honest." she replied. Giggling at his goofy grin. Honest, one thing Callie wasn't fond of. She didn't tell lies though, she told truths with missed details. Or that was how Callie liked to think of her lies. Callie turned just as James did so they weren't facing the tree. But Whatif it could move and then it moved and then attacked 'em.
"Um...James. Im..um..Scared..sorta." "So could It like kill me if I went and threw rocks at it ?" she was too young
and pretty to die.
"Oooh. So if you went and threw rocks and it and then I went and threw rocks at it...I'd have more chance of being injured by it than you would ?" She wasn't gonna test that theory.
She listened to James' story. People seemed to like telling stories round here.
"So you were like home alone ?" Eeep. Actually, the thought of being home alone with no parents sounded fun.
"My parents travelled alot too. I dunno what they do, but I travelled with them. All round America and then I moved in with my brother and came here." ..Story of her life, not that it was too interesting. Fireworks ? tehe. They were pretteh and colourful.
"Emphasis on the yet."
