Nowhere near as cold as he'd been after the first task, for sure, but it was the dead of winter, and he hadn't had the forethought to put gloves into his pockets. His pockets were otherwise occupied at the moment though. Hmm.

"I could've been better," he admitted, wrinkling his pink nose. "I would've been done sooner, I think... but I guess it's better to err on the side of safety than to get stuck?"

Didn't want to be trapped in the maze, after all. It hadn't taken that long, and he'd still managed to make it out first... somehow.

"No bowtruckles, but... well. Something else." Frown. He wasn't sure which he preferred. At least the bowtruckles were relatively small... and there was little chance they'd be able to kill him. Scratch, gouge, puncture, maybe take an eye out, but he'd likely be left alive at the end. This time... well, who knew, had he not been right. Eyes went to his right wrist, and his wand. Thankfully, he had been.

"Hot chocolate..." That sounded so good right now. And this time his stomach wouldn't reject stuff, would it. He wasn't even that tired or anything. Awesome.

O_O Ohhai Marie.

He tilted a bit to the side automatically as she started wrapping the scarf around his neck, to make it easier for her. He hadn't asked for it or anything but it was really awesome that she was giving it to him either way; it helped to lock in a little more of his warmth. Half-smiling, he tugged on the end of the scarf.

"Thanks, Marie. It really does help."

He looked back up at the stands as his name was shouted again, and spotted the ickle Ravenclaw that was doing the yelling. Ellie. Recalling how he'd kinda... not really talked to her last task, and hadn't seen her since, he waved at her, trying to not laugh when Vindictus shouted and freaked out Lafay.

He failed at that of course. Laughed. Haha.

When one of his Slytherins approached, his laughter died off, albeit slowly, and he nodded. Salander. Shaking the guy's hand, he grinned.

"I've seen you around enough, mate. Classes, and in the school and stuff. Pleasure to meet you."

And then the little Gryffindor girl from Defence class was there, too. The one who'd asked him and Cameron if they were dating. Kurumi, was her name? And she had... a box? For him? Bending his cold fingers a few times, he took it, inclining his head a little bit in thanks.

"Sankyuu..." He gave it a gentle shake, as if trying to figure out what was inside without looking into it, then frowned in concern, eyes going to her. "Are you cold? You're kinda stuttering a little bit..."

Her teeth didn't look like they were chattering though. Distractedly, he looked back toward the maze and where he'd exited from. Where were the other Champions? Where were Monique and Aleksandra, Nik and Fletcher? Surely they'd be out soon, right?

"I'm fine," she said smiling slightly from under her bangs. She fiddled with her fingers trying to figure out how not to sound like a total first year with her next comment. "I...erm....I....really admire what you did in our last potions class." Her hands went to her cheeks to try and hide her blushing. "I didn't know how precious phoenix tears were...and...you stood up to Dragon Lady..." and now her hands were on her mouth.

EEP! She had said too much. Quick! Distraction! He was curious about what was in the box, right? He had just been shaking it like a little boy checking out gifts under the Christmas tree to figure out what Santa had brought.

"The box is filled with cookies that I baked," she explained.
