| HeadGirlMC | Treddie & Trixiver <3 | Copy Girl | Katie's Ickle Minion | I love YOU more Elias’ opinion on his dormmates was much the same as it was about most things. He tolerated them, co-existed, understood that they were there to stay and there was little that could be done about it. Initially he had absolutely loathed the idea of sharing a bedroom with total strangers, he and his siblings had always had separate bedrooms and he didn’t do well amongst others in enclosed spaces. He had gotten used to it over the preceding years to the point that they were now. He kept his space to himself, didn’t touch others things and expected them to respect his boundaries too. He wouldn’t call the others friends but they were acquaintances and he didn’t hate the idea so much now.
The third year was the first to arrive back in the dorm that night which was the way that he liked it. He craved the solitude and quiet that being alone gave him before the inevitable questions and small talk came his way. He’d already got into his pajamas and shaken out his swooshy locks, a single strand falling in front of his eyes and causing him to constantly flick it out the way. He’d changed his look a little in a small act of rebellion against his family but it was causing him more of hindrance than sending shockwaves through his elders. They had yet to discover the black nails he had opted for although the paint had chipped away so much now that his fingers almost looked bruised. If anyone had asked he would say that it was intentional.
The thirteen year old dropped onto his bed, folded his legs crossed underneath him and leaned back against his headboard to engross himself into the work of fiction he was trying to get into.

| • HuffleStud • Knight of The Zodiac • Manly Beard-Grower • Cicatrice de Harry • Jan liked to think of his dorm as safe haven #3. Obviously, his parents and godfather's homes were in the top. He was used to sharing a room with his brother, though he was promised his own bedroom for once the next summer. So going on third-year of dorm sharing was no big deal for him.
After a messy class with Care of Magical Creatures, Jan went straight to the bathroom to wash up. It always took ages to for his hair to dry without risking a heat charm from erupting his hair growth process. Maybe he and Drake could work out some solution for that, since they were on a similar hair journey.
Exiting the bathroom, with the towel in hand as Jan gently patted parts of his hair. He stopped momentarily at the site of Elias. Maybe it had to do with his growth spurt over the summer, or how close he got with his friends. But Jan felt nothing more than a little surprise to see him now. Their usual encounters were on the shaky side, as nice as he attempted to be.
"Hi," Jan said shortly, before sitting on his own bed. Towel in one hand, the other rummaging the drawer for his comb. Now where was it? As he took out some stuff to find it.

Hogwarts RPG Name: Vera Brinley Thanatos Gryffindor Seventh Year Hogwarts RPG Name: Mandrake Beery Slytherin Third Year | Anashti l Brat Pack l Sally & Dr. Finklestein Forever a badger in a snakeskin, Drake counted the interactions he'd had with each of his dorm mates as being positive enough to consider them all friends, even Elias who it was certainly harder for him to get a read on. It felt to him like his presence was more tolerated than enjoyed by that particular dorm mate, but Drake was learning to not be offended by that. It took a LOT of hours, but his sister was the smartest person he knew and she had assured him plenty of times in the past that he couldn't be everyone's cup of tea, just as they weren't his and that was a-okay. Besides, he didn't think any of his dorm mates outright hated him and that seemed blessing enough.
That day he was a bit later heading back to the dorm than usual, having decided to spend some more time in the greenhouses and trying to get to know the new Herbology Professor. He was missing Professor DeVries already, but no teacher could stay forever so he wasn't wallowing at the loss of his favorite. Besides, Professor Phlour seemed fine and he'd probably like her better in time as well. Pushing open the door to their dormitory, Drake smiled at Elias and Jansher who were both already there, before plopping down on the foot of his bed. "Hi guys!" He greeted happily, not even considering that he was probably already entirely ruining Elias' quiet for the evening. "Do you need any of my hair supplies Jan?" It looked like he was on the hunt for some, and Drake knew exactly where his were and was happy to share if his friend needed.
As for figuring out better routines together? He would absolutely love to. He relied entirely on his sister for the time being, but he couldn't bother Gil for questions or recommendations all the time. Plus, imagine if he could help her?
Glancing around, he looked at Ary's bed beside his as well. "Anyone seen Ary?"

| ~ Mrs. Steve Harrington ~ It be like that sometimes. Aryan and Elias may not interact much but they did, at one point, have something in common: they hadn’t been eager to have sleeping arrangements that involved multiple students. In his own case, that had changed when he met and befriended Drake. Other than that, he had pretty much left his dormmates on their own for a great while as he got used to their presence. This still applied for Elias, but the difference between then and now was that Elias seemed to like keeping mostly to himself rather than socialising.
Jan and Drake, on the other hand, were two persons Ary was rather close with. He and Jan had been through some rather interesting adventures last term and over the summer while he and Drake could always count on each other to get into some sort of fun shenanigan.
It was quite a stark contrast, the latter relationships Ary shared compared to the first. Not that he was begging for friends.
But just where had this third year been? Out at the barns saying hi to the creatures. He wasn’t feeling his best in terms of mood so he had cut his visit short before trekking slowly back to the dorm. He made it back there just in time to hear a mention of his name. “I’m here,’’ he mumbled. A half hearted finger wiggle-wave was thrown at random - this was meant as a greeting to everyone - as he moved to his bed. Ary flopped down tiredly on his back, and fell into a contented moment of staring up at the ceiling. |

| HeadGirlMC | Treddie & Trixiver <3 | Copy Girl | Katie's Ickle Minion | I love YOU more Elias was trying hard to disguise the disgruntled expression as his peace was promptly disturbed. His face had the unfortunate habit of portraying exactly what his mind was thinking and even when he wasn’t in a mood, his lips and eyes sort of settled into that permanently judgemental look that screamed intimidation. For that instance he genuinely couldn’t help it, he was born with it.
Poor Jan was the recipient of that initial stare as he entered the dorm. Not that the fellow Slytherin had done anything wrong other than arriving at the room he had every right to be in. In their first year Elias might have used his obvious intimidation to warn Jan away but the years and the close proximity to one another had softened the third year a little. Instead he replied to the greeting with one of his own. “Hello.” His eyes darted over to watch what he was doing, concerned that whatever mess he was creating on his bed would eventually spill over to HIS side of the room.
The awkward silence from Eli’s observations and Jansher’s apparent lack of organisational skills was broken swiftly by the arrival of another dormmate. Drake would be absolutely right in his thoughts that Eli merely tolerated his presence but there was no hatred on his behalf. The discussion turned to hair products of which with his new longer hair the Slytherin was mildly interested in listening in to although he was pretending not to be. It had become a slight hindrance to have his swoopy fringe constantly flop in front of his eyes. How he was supposed to be constantly vigilant he did not know but otherwise he was enjoying the look.. or rather he was enjoying not being as traditional as the elder Greenwoods wished he would be. “Perhaps shaving it all off would solve your problems” he commented nonchalantly whilst turning the page of his book. He was scarily adept with the instant scalping hex too if they wanted to find out?
He wanted to make a sarcastic comment over how he didn’t make a habit of keeping tabs on the whereabouts of his fellow students when the boy in question entered the vicinity. “Two words, tracking charms.” With the way that the three had bonded so closely with one another, he was surprised that they hadn’t thought of that already. As for the finger wave, well that caused the thirteen-year-old unnecessary annoyance and he couldn’t really explain why. At least Ary wasn’t engaging in some frivolous conversation however.

If there was any other moment for Jan to feel vulnerable is when his hair was starting to dry out. His hair tend to soak up the water in record time compared to some of his mates. While his eyes were focused in his drawer, he could feel the stare. It was pretty regular at this point. When he was younger and shorter that stare was enough to cause some restraint him. But now? "Enjoying your book?" He asked tentatively. Since he did get a hello back and all. Some old feelings didn't fade fast enough, but he wasn't feeling so scared anymore.. and awkward silences weren't his cup of tea.
At least the towel kept the moisture in a tad longer. Just enough for him to find his comb once his friends arrived, "Hi Drake," Smiling as he heard the offer whilst immediately combing through his own hair, "Oh, yes, I am getting low on the Sleekeazy vial again, so I'd love some," It helped keep his hair feeling softer than a pillow. Perhaps shaving it all off would solve your problems. He might've paused for a moment, then remembering what someone told him about people who say such suggestions. Maybe he was jealous or trying to be very helpful but not saying it quite right. "...You think so? Well, I could probably donate some of it to you then since you could use the extra length you're working on." Helpful dormmates, right?
Jan didn't know where Ary was, but didn't have to say it since the door opened again. "Hey Ary," Jan said. He was usually chirper, but not so much now. He was quite tired it looked like. "Busy day?" Did he need a nap or maybe some alone time. Then there was Elias again with the 'helpful' suggestions. "You know how to do a tracking charm already?" The fourteen-year-old was curious and all. |

Hogwarts RPG Name: Vera Brinley Thanatos Gryffindor Seventh Year Hogwarts RPG Name: Mandrake Beery Slytherin Third Year | Anashti l Brat Pack l Sally & Dr. Finklestein No sooner had Drake asked the question, it seemed then his best friend was making his way into the room - which always caused a smile to light his face, even brighter than that he'd worn previously. Except the downtrodden moods he seemed to be experiencing lately dimmed it slightly, for no reason other than concern. Drake wanted to ask if everything was alright, but he didn't imagine asking someone as private as Aryan in front of all of them, friends or not, would make him comfortable. So instead, Drake just kept the smile on his face, sending his own wave his direction even if his friend couldn't see it. "Were your ears burning?" An attempted joke, though he wasn't certain he used the saying correctly.
Wasn't that something people said when they'd been talking about someone and they appeared??
In the mood for conversation, Drake in the momentary silence just looked from each boy, uncertain what to say but also hoping someone else would say something. Elias was the next to speak, and at the suggestion Drake's dropped open slightly. Shave it??? But.... then they'd have to keep it short or have to deal with the grueling process of letting it grow back and keeping it healthy. While he couldn't speak for Jan, that was absolutely not something he would entertain for his own hair. (Although for pure curiosity sake, he would have been interested at Elias' skill with a scalping hex. Where did that come in handy?) At Jan's agreement to potions, Drake dove for his own trunk, quickly grabbing the small bag he kept product in and pulled out the requested potion, standing to carefully pass it over to Jan. "Here you go! My mum sent an extra bottle so use as much as you need. Or you can keep that one until you can restock." It didn't bother Drake either way!
Because he had been distracted earlier, he didn't hear the tracking charm suggestion, but once it was brought round again Drake blinked a bit. "Why'd you already learn the tracking charm?" While it had been suggested for use of friends, Drake didn't think that was something he'd ever be comfortable doing. A) his charm work left something to be desired, so if anyone was casting something on another person, the safest bet in his book was Aryan who was far more proficient. B) It seemed a bit of a violation of privacy to do that to someone - what if there were times they WANTED to not be found? Of course, the comment could have been said in something that was not a serious tone but... Drake took words at face value, so he hadn't considered as much. "How did you all already get so good at Charms by the way?"

| ~ Mrs. Steve Harrington ~ It be like that sometimes. Elias’ facial expressions did not bother Ary, not at this point at least. Something that would have puzzled him though, was Elias’ twinge of annoyance at the little greeting. Perhaps the dormmate had some internal issues he needed to sort out that would lead him to not to be so cranky?
Laying there on his bed, Ary naturally became an ardent listener to the conversation that was continuing prior to his arrival. Something about hair? Yes, that would obviously be Duck and Jan. Those boys did have glorious locks. Especially Duck. Duck had the best hair. But please, no one let Bry know Ary thought that! “Not really. Just been out and about around the grounds and stuff. The creatures were awfully chatty today.” Whereas, this Slytherin was not. Realising this, and not wanting to be a party-pooper, he adjusted his position by sitting cross- legged facing his friends and Elias {Elias didn’t really count as a friend just yet…}. Drake’s witty comment got a small chuckle out of him. “That would explain a lot.” Playing along, Ary rubbed at both his ears. Also, he did appreciate the best friend not asking him questions about his current mood.
The guy didn’t really intend on participating further in the conversation so he simply sat back under his and Drake’s blankie fort, a pillow hugged to his chest. Not that the conversation wasn’t interesting but what was he supposed to say? Charms just comes naturally to me? It’d sound as though he were bragging. |

| HeadGirlMC | Treddie & Trixiver <3 | Copy Girl | Katie's Ickle Minion | I love YOU more Never one for a pitiful conversation, Jan’s attempt at small talk was admirable but received by a slight wrinkle of the nose. “I was..” Obviously not now that his peace was up and concentrating on the words would be impossible.
Believe him or not Jansher but his comment wasn’t remotely in the realm of jealousy over not having so much hair. Elias was having a hair transformation of his own but that was besides the point. The comment was actually meant as a sort of joke, a playful suggestion if you will which coupled with the Slytherin’s seriousness and lack of a facial expression was likely to be read as something else entirely. That was until he suggested sharing some of his locks with HIM. A half disgusted, half perplexed expression momentarily washed over him. “I’m quite capable of growing my own,” he retaliated. “And I don’t WANT long hair, I’m just..” What was he doing? It was more of a subtle rebelliousness against his elders, a freedom of expression he could wear at school without being in too much trouble when he got home. The mid-lengths could easily be slicked back and styled neatly when required.
The instant scalping hex, alongside a plethora of other hexes that the third year had in his arsenal, frequently came in handy when faced with a situation where words just weren’t enough. They were also far easier to get away with when muttered quietly under the breath. If Drake was truly interested, Elias might be willing to give him a lesson one day. “I never said I have learned it.” The thirteen year old resisted the urge to roll his eyes at the apparent lack of listening skills amongst his dorm mates. “I said YOU should learn it, if you’re so concerned about the whereabouts of your.. friends.” Acquaintances. Whatever they were. Elias frankly couldn’t care less about what others were getting up to if it was going to distract him from concentrating on himself. As for how and why he already knew about it and as to whether that made him good at charms. “I read.” Ahead of all the boring mundane stuff they were learning in their year and over to the good bit.
Ary had (rightfully) chosen not to acknowledge any of the odd judgmental expressions of Elias’ face nor was getting involved in any of the conversations. He could empathise with that feeling normally but today was different. He glanced at the other boy hugging his pillow to his chest. “What’s the matter with you? Kneazle got your tongue?”

Jan couldn't help blinking. Was this is a sore subject? Or maybe Elias just wanted to be alone. But he was talking so, mixed signals were sent to him. He suddenly felt more relaxed. Maybe it was the three years of his former bully talking to him in a similar matter. Maybe it was the fact that he had his two closest friends in the room to back up anything that happened to take place. Or maybe him growing taller over the summer helped his confidence.
"Thanks!" Jan took it and immediately placed a few drops in his palm before massaging it into his scalp and then combing. The tangles were already loose enough for him to treat properly. "Tell your mum I appreciate it. Maybe someday we could make our own and not have to buy it all the time," Assuming his potion skills got any better. The assignment Professor Adara set for them to make one was intimidating enough already. "Sounds like the creatures wore you out Ary, do you want to use my bubble potion for your bath? It smells great and is very relaxing," Cause there's nothing like a good soak after a busy day incase Ary was on his way to take one now.
Whatever status Jan was with Elias. It wasn't like he didn't need more friends. But the trust was still shaky. If he didn't like them, he would probably have left the room already since the current trio was sticking around. Joking about shaving their head, colour Jan shocked. "Well.. I don't know the scalping hex and don't have a desire to learn it. But if you would like a trim, Elias, I can do it for you," Jan shrugged. His voice was still in a softer tone, but the hesitation was gradually leaving. "Well, I didn't have much of a choice with Professor Feirgrund around to give my parents constant grade updates," It was nice for his future, but a bit awkward on the Snake side with such heavy association with Gryffindor. Not that he minded, his little brother, Idris, was thriving with his first year in Gryffindor.
The average student would probably take Elias focusing on Ary as another form of bullying. Which, it was, objectively. But perhaps it was the stereotypical snake side, that Jan took it another way. He was confused again, he didn't like them, right? "I.. didn't know you liked hearing Ary, Elias.. I agree, Ary has a nice voice. I think he just wants to rest after a busy day." Glancing at the book he was holding, "Maybe you can tell us about that kneazle that likes to take people's tongue?" Was he serious? Maybe, maybe not. But it was a good distraction.

| Sarah thinks I'm cute | Shan's safe space. Even though he'd been at Hogwarts since their first year, Wade had not done much on the bonding front. Merlin, he hadn't even talked much to his dormmates aside from pleasantries until this year, which he put down to moving into Stemp House and being forced to interact. Living with his Uncle prior to that - raising himself, almost - had made him something of a loner, a persona that he was doing his hardest to break out of.
It had been fairly easy, too. He wasn't sure what it was that had made him more comfortable in who he was and what he had to say, but he was accepting it without question. He hadn't made any best friends overnight (or over months), of course, but Wade was getting there.
"Why does a kneazle want someones tongue?" Wade had only caught the end of the conversation as he entered the dorm, and his forehead immediately creased in confusion. Which hurt, because he'd scraped it pretty bad falling from the latest climb he'd been trying. It wasn't bleeding, but it stung where his hair flopped and touched it, and every time he reached up to brush it away, it stung again. Maybe he needed a headband, or something - but first he needed a new tshirt, because this one was ripped. As he reached his bed, he pulled it over his head and dug around for a clean one.

Hogwarts RPG Name: Vera Brinley Thanatos Gryffindor Seventh Year Hogwarts RPG Name: Mandrake Beery Slytherin Third Year | Anashti l Brat Pack l Sally & Dr. Finklestein Chatty animals were the best sort if you asked Drake. Though, it was such a shame that one couldn't actually understand what they were saying. Especially that parseltongue had gone seemingly obsolete as well, which took away the hereditary ability to actually communicate with a creature - even if perhaps reptiles were not his first pick. "I wish there was spells or potions or something that would give us the ability to actually communicate with creatures. Wouldn't it be cool to be able to have conversations with the grindylows of the lake?" Yes, they could communicate with the merpeople (if one knew mermish) and Sir Bartholomew Henry could be chatty when he surfaced, but that was only a portion of the ecosystem and their experiences. "It'd be cool to be able to talk to plants too though... like... what is a Mandrake REALLY saying when it screams?" His comment was leaving himself open to some puns and teases, but he hadn't even considered that until the words were out of his lips and then it was too late.
And also quickly forgotten.
... It was true, he wasn't the greatest at listening. But why bring up the tracking charm if it wasn't something he already knew?? Or perhaps.. that was just Drake's assumptions because if he hadn't learned a charm yet... the odds were he didn't even know about it. Which meant his own arsenal of knowledge on the subject was... rather small. And it was all because he did the exact opposite of Elias. While the other boy read, Drake was pretty sure he was allergic to textbooks that were of no interest to him. "You read the textbooks? Do you do that for fun?" Because if so, they really should pull Elias out of the dorm and out into the fresh air more. Drake wasn't certain what the more reserved of the current grouping would enjoy doing the most... but they could try to find something!
Jan got a warm smile at his appreciation, before Drake waved it off a bit with his hand. "No problem! Consider it payback for all the questions I've had to ask you already and surely will in the future too." As for telling his mom though? He would, and see if maybe she could send a few extras too of other things next care package - just in case. His eyes widened though at the suggestion at making their own potion, before he gave a nod of his head. "That would be fun! We should give it a go!" Logically, he knew that would also have the potential to be disastrous but.... it was just hair, right? Even if he did love it a whole lot. At Jan's answer though about charms, his expression turned sympathetic as he gave a small solemn nod. "That must be difficult." Professor Feirgrund was really nice and Drake liked him, but having someone so closely related actually here and on campus to oversee your studies sounded stressful. He wondered briefly if Jan and Bryony had ever commiserated over their similar situations in that regard.
He had a few other rapid fire questions he had considered posing to the group, but before he could do so he was distracted again by the door opening and Wade entering. His attention turned to him, and he opened his mouth to offer a greeting, but he was stopped when the bloody appearance caught his attention and instead he gaped. "Are you okay?" Were ears burning a different way now? Because they had just been discussing Professor Feirgrund, and now Drake was wondering if perhaps the Healer would be needed.

| ~ Mrs. Steve Harrington ~ It be like that sometimes. “Don’t talk to him like that,’’ Ary told Elias, annoyed that anyone would want to speak to Drake in a seemingly condescending manner. ‘Seemingly’ because Ary could have clearly misinterpreted Elias’ tone in the mood that he was currently in. And when it involved Drake… well, he was protective of him because of his best friend’s sensitive nature. The future magizoologist pointedly shrugged at the question while thinking that it was best Elias continued keeping to himself rather than attempting to be social. He was terrible at said socialising.
Whereas Ary was short and cold with Elias, he was warm with Jan. How could he always not be with him? They’d had quite the epic bit of sleuthing adventures just recently over that summer, for one thing. “Professor Feirgrund, I bet, is awfully timely with those updates.” He resisted the urge to laugh as he shot Jan a knowing look. Anyway, his second guy bestie clearly knew exactly what he needed right about now, which wasn’t sticking around here in pointless conversation that involved someone who didn’t seem to like them. “Thanks, Jan! I’d like that, please. Where is it?” He’d take a long soak and hopefully that would help his mood. He tossed the pillow onto Drake’s bed and bounded out of his own. .
This was barely done when he registered Jan mentioning his name again. Say what? Ary tilted his head at the other boy, the other words registering. Slowly, his lips curled into an amused smile. “Mate, I didn’t know you thought my voice was nice,’’ he shot at Elias in a somewhat sarcastic tone. In a flirtatiously friendly manner, he added to Jan, “For you, I’ll speak a lot more.” And with that, the laughter he had been holding back escaped. Listen, Jan was super hilarious when he wanted to be! “I dunno. Ask Elias.” Also, hi, Wade! Wade hadn’t spoken much to him either but at least the other Slytherin didn’t give off unfriendly vibes. Speaking of people who did not give off unfriendly vibes… Ary was all ears for Drake’s ideas. It went without saying that he would never make fun of those. “There’s the Animal Whisperer Potion which dad told me about. We can get you a batch so you can try on the Griffs and Dragons if you want. But something for plants? Sorry, buddy. I don’t know of any." |

| HeadGirlMC | Treddie & Trixiver <3 | Copy Girl | Katie's Ickle Minion | I love YOU more The thought of wanting to be alone and actually being alone were two different subjects. Elias told himself that he did not care for the company of others and yet being completely consumed by his own thoughts in solitude were overwhelming and he often yearned for a distraction. Truthfully he’d rather be in the company of his dormmates whose quirks and mannerisms he had grown accustomed to over the last three years and who he felt he could somewhat let his guard down around.
Evidently today was not the day to relax, nor was it the appropriate time to attempt humour for his words were being taken entirely too seriously. Take Ary for example, who was majorly on the defensive side. “Like what?” He frowned, rewinding his mind to figure out what exactly he had said that was so offensive. “I’d rather not fail my exams and reading is part of the curriculum.” His answer was pointedly aimed towards Drake, mostly because the other boy was seemingly offended by the dryness in Elias’ words. “I don’t see the harm in getting a head start.” Now who was judging who?
The fourteen year old barely trusted a professional to touch him, let alone his classmates. “No!” He replied quickly to Jan’s offer of a haircut. “Thank you” He added through gritted teeth before he could be accused of something else. Elias’ invisible barrier he had around himself was practically impenetrable.
The conversation took a turn to creatures which Elias was not interested in the slightest (unless they were of the dragon variety). He turned his attention back to the ‘light’ reading he had been enjoying before the bombardment until the arrival of Wade temporarily distracted him. Naturally the other boy had been risking his well being again by flinging himself off of parapets or whatever it was that he enjoyed. The Slytherin thought the hobby foolish and yet he couldn’t help but be mildly fascinated by it at the same time and he might have been watching Wade for that second too long before realising what he was doing. “It’s an expression.” He cleared his throat, turning away from the injured guy to Jan who clearly needed a lesson in idioms. “It’s not meant to be taken literally.” As for that ‘joke’ about enjoying hearing the other boys voices, well that was the cause of the brief appearance of a shade of pink rising through his face. Whether the flush was from embarrassment or frustration would never be revealed and it disappeared as quickly as it had arrived. “I’m going to ignore that” he retorted. Where Jan was likely innocent in his words, Ary was evidently trying to get a rise from him.

Jan felt like he was in a table court, with how the words were getting tossed over each other. As with earlier, the fourteen-year old didn't feel so scared around him anymore. "Erm..I believe Drake asked if you do it for fun, not only for good grades." He said simply. "We have our study groups to help with grades besides just reading the books... It sounds like you could use more fun than sitting on the bed there all grumpy." His mum would've prescribed him a good nap, even at his age which made him smile. If one knew Jan, they could see the intention by the smile, "It sounds like you could use a bubble bath after Ary," Before adding, "Not that you stink or anything, just good for relaxing and having solitude."
Jan chuckled at the mention of payback, "No way, Drake! You can always ask me anything without a cost." Friends did things just because. As for the Professor's interference. He couldn't help smirking at what Ary said. "It's true, Professor Feirgrund does timely updates.. but I think he might give me some space if things go the way I hope." There was some plotting he and Ary had to do. "It's not so bad, he does give me some of the leftover prizes from his classes." Spoiler alert on where he got their Christmas and Birthday gifts from, ahem. Ary was wanting to take a bath now, "Oh, here you go. It's right here." Jan reached into his drawer and then tossed the vial over to Ary. "You only need to put a drop so that will last you a good while. I have plenty to spare." Caring was sharing, after all.
Jan shrugged at Elias, "If you say so." If Elias wanted to be the cool guy, he had to go about it a different way from Jan's point of view. Ary did have a nice voice and he was happy to hear him talk more. The door then opened. "Hi Wade... are you okay?" He noticed the damage on him. "Erm, Elias was trying to be helpful and get Ary to talk more by talking about kneazles." In a brute way. "Did something attack you?" Would they have to get Professor Paton or even his godfather over here? |

| Sarah thinks I'm cute | Shan's safe space. Speaking to animals? Wade wasn’t sure about that. “I dunno,” he offered over his shoulder, in the general direction of the conversation. “I might be forced to go vegetarian if animals could talk.” The idea of it being an animal on his plate was weird enough, raised as livestock just to be eaten, but if they could talk? He practically shuddered at the thought. Same went for plants, really - if they started talking, too, then he would end up starving, and he was sure he wasn’t the only one.
Dragging a fresh tshirt from his trunk, he turned back to the group as he pulled it over his head. He grinned as he caught Elias’ eye, and then shrugged and turned his attention to the others, particularly Jan and Drake who had asked if he was okay. Wade's grin remained as he waved them off, gesturing at his forehead. “This is nothing, just a scrape, I’m all good.” And he was, because eventually he’d managed to land a new trick without any proper injuries. He couldn’t help but laugh at the idea of something attacking him, shaking his head. “Nah, just some freerunning.”
As for Elias trying to get Ary to talk, that surprised him a little, and he raised his eyebrows. Which hurt. But still, Elias wasn't exactly talkative, so it didn't make much sense.
