"As they should be," declared Daphne, blond brow going UP once more. "It would be weird and awkward and a little bit creepy too for you to be so tall and have tiny feet. Completely creepy, actually."
Very creepy. Ew.

| ♥Dunkin | Pixie's Precious Pea | kpop goddess | sneaky sounder | forever slytherin♥ "Well yeah. But feet only get bigger as you get taller, I thought. So, you know, you don't fall. Helps balance out the different proportions." He held one of his feet about a foot off the ground, the bottom of his shoe visible to Daphne. "That's why people with smaller than average feet fall down a lot."
And why Raiden didn't. Heh. Cos... he had big feet. Stare.
...yeaaaah. Feet were not an interesting topic. At all. At least they'd made the 'stud' thing go away. |

Daphne did not fall down a lot. She did, however, stare at Raiden Kururugi. She had no idea how they ended up having this conversation. Blinking up at him, as she had no choice but to look up due to his potentially criminal height, Daphne raised one hand.
"Question," she interrupted him. "You almost make it sound like you've tested this theory. I don't..." She had no idea why she was still thinking about it. "Let's not talk about feet anymore, Raiden. It's weird. People will think we have nothing better to speak about."
.....
Which they probably didn't.

Yeah. It was best if they stopped talking about feet. Raiden stopped himself midsentence, almost on the verge of laughing at just how... odd things had turned. From her hugging the hourglass, to the audition thing, to feet. It just... oh Merlin.
Raiden pushed her hand back down. They were NOT in class, silly Daphne.
"The conversation naturally flowed that way," he said with a shrug. "As odd as it is. It happens sometimes. What would you rather talk about?"
Not feet, obviously. |

Raiden was touching her again. He did that a lot, she realized, which was odd for the Prefect. Raiden normally freaked out about such things. He was completely different around her. Completely different. Frowning, she raised her hand again just because she could.
"I want to talk about you," she stated. "I want to talk about your summer and what you did. Short of knowing that you're Raiden Kururugi, nice and sweet but easily pushed over Slytherin boy and that you're one of my best friends---I don't know much."
SIGH. Maybe that's why he was such a grumpy pants with her. Maybe he felt that Daphne didn't care to know more about him.
That hurt her heart a little.

| ♥Dunkin | Pixie's Precious Pea | kpop goddess | sneaky sounder | forever slytherin♥ Well that was... easy enough. Kinda.
"Summer was okay. I went to the hospital, went home, read a lot... Dad wanted to go to the beach for vacation this year, so we went for a week or so..." he trailed off, trying to think of what else he'd done. His father had finally gotten off the who crazy anti-flying thing, and Raiden had told him about how he'd played Seeker...
...and failed at it. Which his father had taken to mean that his son needed some help with flying, so they'd gone to his friend's country house for a while, every day after he'd come home from work, so they could practice. All in all it had been a good summer. He'd never spent quite so much time with his father.
"It was pretty... odd, actually, this summer." He waved off the rest of the details and looked at her. "How was yours? Tell me lots of stuff, because... I don't know much about you past the fact that you have a little brother and all that, you know?"
That, and that she had smaller feet than him, but they were bigger than they had been before. Heh. |

All around, it sounded like Raiden had a fantastic summer. Hers was mostly--not, save for the moment Plymouth was in it.
"You were in the hospital? Are you okay?" she asked, biting her lip as she tried to come up with a way to make her summer sound remotely pleasant.
"Isaac. His name is Isaac. Mom had some renovations in the house. Something about creaking and getting rid of ghouls. So I stayed with Davis in the Leaky," she said all in one breath. "I could have stayed at the beach house but honestly, I hate the open sea."

| ♥Dunkin | Pixie's Precious Pea | kpop goddess | sneaky sounder | forever slytherin♥ ...he hadn't told Daphne.
About his heart thing.
Oh Merlin. WAIT. How had he not told her? Raiden blushed and his hand immediately clamped on the back of his neck again, rubbing furiously. Oh, she was going to be angry.
"I... I've been sick for a while, actually. Since I was born. It was a heart thing, but it's okay now, for the most part. I just had to go to the hospital twice every year..." He tried for a reassuring grin and poked himself in the chest. "They told me I don't have to come back now though, so I'm okay."
Awwww, she hadn't even been at home this summer? Raiden felt a bit bad. He should've asked her before the summer, what she was going to do. Then maybe she could have stayed over with him and his dad, and... lost a bit of the uptightness that she seemed to have sometimes.
Then again, Raiden didn't want his dad seeing any of his girl friends. He hadn't evendirectly seen Neptune and he'd bought her a bracelet. If he met Daphne, he'd probably insist she stay the summer and buy her anything within his means.
Daphne would have gone home with many, many butterfly bracelets. |

He....She...Raiden Kururugi...was sick. Had been sick. Had some kind of heart condition. And Daphne never knew. He hadn't told her. Blushing, she glanced down at her shoes again.
Her small feet looked GUILTY. They carried the most selfish and clueless friend in the WORLD. "Okay..." she said, not really knowing how to follow up that confession.
"Was it...like a secret?"

| ♥Dunkin | Pixie's Precious Pea | kpop goddess | sneaky sounder | forever slytherin♥ "Well... Nico found out when I was a first year. I dropped a letter my mum wrote to the Headmistress and he picked it up..." He frowned. "Only he and Cela knew, and the nurse, and the Headmistress. And Kayla found out from Nico, I think? I'm not sure."
Not a lot of people had known though. He rubbed his neck more furiously; Daphne looked UPSET, and he didn't want her to look upset. It was fine. It was no big deal, especially now.
"I didn't want to tell everyone. Because... well to be honest, you already worried about me a lot, and stuff. It would've been a lot worse if you'd known." Daphne, stop looking all blushy and stuff. Guh. GUH. |

Nicholai. Celandine. Kayla. Headmistress. Nurse. That was five people more than her who knew. In a vain attempt to keep the heat away, Daphne rubbed one cheek. Raiden's feet now capturing her attention instead of her own.
"I guess I can be a little bit overbearing," she joked with a smile. This time, she imitated Raiden and rubbed the back of her neck. A lot. A lot.

Ugh ugh no no no Daphne noooo.
Raiden twitched.
She was upset, wasn't she.
"It's not that, I promise," he said quickly, his mouth turning down at the corners. "I didn't want everyone to worry, so I tried to not tell anyone."
GUH. DAPHNE HOPTON.
Taking a quick step, Raiden grabbed her and squished her in a big hug.
"You're my friend, Daphne. I didn't want you to be constantly worried about it. It was only a big deal for a little while... actually you and Cela... kinda helped fix it..."
SEE? SEE? Be happy, Daphne. Or Raiden won't stop hugging you. |

"By being perpetually overbearing?" she mumbled against Raiden's...chest? Mouth of his stomach? Daphne couldn't tell the difference. She was far too close to his body for comfort. In fact, she was making contact with said body.
Strange.
"It's fine, I guess," she said at last, pinching his sides. "I wouldn't have told me either, if I were you."

| ♥Dunkin | Pixie's Precious Pea | kpop goddess | sneaky sounder | forever slytherin♥ By stressing me out," he said playfully, wiggling away slightly when she pinched him. "By doing things like the Staircase Incident, and trying to leap from windows, and all that. It helped my body adjust to stress and stuff."
Pinching was not NICE Daphne. Raiden took a step back, one hand grabbing at her pinchy fingers, the other poking her in the side in retribution. Heh. Heh.
"You know now, and everything's okay. Right?" He nodded. "I don't have to go to the hospital anymore, so everything's fine." |

But the staircase incident was totally not her fault! He knew this! It was Crocker's idea! His 'genius' idea! His! Daphne was sure Raiden knew this, so, she just let it go. He was being a poo again.
"You're being a poo," she pointed out one more time, even as a few random giggles escaped her. NO POKING! UNFAIR! She was ticklish, Raiden! Squirming, Daphne frowned. "Again. Just so you know. It's fine, I guess," she said and raised one hand to point at Kururugi's face. "But if you ever get sick you're going to be in a whole world of trouble Raiden Kururugi. You just try to get sick. Go ahead. Try!"

| ♥Dunkin | Pixie's Precious Pea | kpop goddess | sneaky sounder | forever slytherin♥ "Of course I'm being a poo," he said, with a roll of his eyes. Feigning Daphne-like annoyance was easy enough. He did not manage to stop the small giggle when she pointed and demanded he never get sick though.
Wasn't as if he had much choice in the matter.
"What would you do, Daphne?" he asked teasingly. It was nice to make light of this particular topic. He'd avoided telling Daphne because she would be... all... worried and mother hen-like. "Break into the hospital wing and yell at me?"
...she totally would, wouldn't she. |

While Raiden was taking it lightly, Daphne sincerely thought it over. What would she do if Raiden got sick? Lower lip tucked between her teeth, the blond shook her head gently.
"Actually," she said in a low murmur. "I wouldn't know what to do." Cry, maybe. "So don't get sick. I'll send Davis after you."

| ♥Dunkin | Pixie's Precious Pea | kpop goddess | sneaky sounder | forever slytherin♥ ...Daphne was being all serious. Raiden did not like the seriousness. This was why he didn't tell people, they got all serious and stuff, and then they worried and stuff and looked at him funny whenever they saw him...
"I won't get sick, Daphne," he promised, nodding. "When I went to the hospital, right before I saw you in Diagon Alley, they told me I'm loads better, and I only need to come back if I feel off. So... Everything's okay and stuff. I haven't had a real attack while at school in... over two terms, at least. And the one when my mum left wasn't nearly as bad as the ones were when I was little."
He hadn't even had to go to the hospital for that one, really. The doctor had told his father so. Mmhmm. |

Attacks? What the heck did that mean? Giving him and odd look, Daphne took a deep breath and raised her arms. "Alright! I don't want to know anymore!" she squeaked, face going red once more. "I think you were very wise in keeping it from me."
Daphne felt like she was going to have an 'attack' herself. "Thinking about it is making me tired." Emotionally drained, yup.

| ♥Dunkin | Pixie's Precious Pea | kpop goddess | sneaky sounder | forever slytherin♥ Eeep. Raiden bit his bottom lip, his hands moving restlessly at his sides. She was all... red again. Guh. He should've just STOPPED TALKING.
"Sorryyyyyyy," he mumbled. "Just don't... worry about it, okay? It's nothing. Do you wanna go in the Great Hall and sit? And get a snack? I didn't... eat much today."
Yes, that was a better idea than standing out here and being awkward. That was the second time today that he'd said something he hadn't wanted to. First the stud thing, and now this heart thing. Guh. Guuuuuuh. |

Blink.
Blink. Daphne tilted her head and looked at Raiden for some seconds. Hehe. He had just been cute all of a sudden. Apologizing and whatnot. "You're hungry," she stated redundantly. "Growing boys get hungry. Let's go."
Almost, almost, Daphne offered her hand. Instead, she brought it up to rub at one cheek before starting off in the direction of the hall.

| ♥Dunkin | Pixie's Precious Pea | kpop goddess | sneaky sounder | forever slytherin♥ It had to be here somewhere. It HAD to be. Running out of the dungeon corridor, through the entrance hall (he'd have noticed it in that wide open area, for sure), Raiden didn't even break stride as he went toward the hourglasses.
Which was bad, because he wanted to STOP there and look behind them.
The sudden stop didn't work, simply because his sneakers slid on the floor. His feet going out from beneath him, Raiden started to fall backwards, but... well the cat thing kicked in and his body tried to twist itself so he'd land on his hands and knees...
So he landed on his left elbow.
A small yelp escaping at the shot of pain through his arm, Raiden immediately disregarded it and pushed himself up, crawling between the hourglasses to see if the mouse was there. His tail was sticking up in the air, lazily moving back and forth and completely unworried by the franticness of its owners actions. |

| Snake disguised as Raven Browncoat Kellen was on his way down to the Magical Creature Sanctuary to visit Affection, and decided to stop by the hourglasses to check the house points. He smiled to himself when he saw Ravenclaw was in the lead, and felt a surge of pride for his house. It was good that so many students were being studious this year, and...
Was that a tail? Kellen blinked and tilted his head. A tail that size would have to be attached to a big cat of some kind. Or... you know... "Raiden?" He didn't bother to untilt his head, "Why do you have a tail?" |

Hogwarts RPG Name: Amur Neverwinter Fourth Year | ~ Rise and Rise Again, Until Lambs become Lions ~ Someone had made an epic slip...Fall...Collision with the ground...Developed a good understanding of gravity...Any and all of the above. And it looked like it had hurt, which was his new reason for heading towards the Hourglasses. First because he had never been to see them yet, now because of some poor student's run in with stone.
A frown crossed Sabel's lips as he recognized one of the students present, and definetly not the one that had fallen. "Stern?" He followed the tilt of the boy's head and peered around his shoulder at the....."Errrrr........."
Kellen had the best question at the moment so he figured he'd let the other boy do the talking and try to work out the tail-attatched-to-Kururugi-concept in his muggle orientated mind.

| ♥Dunkin | Pixie's Precious Pea | kpop goddess | sneaky sounder | forever slytherin♥ So busy was he, looking for the blue mouse, that Raiden hadn't smelled, nor heard, someone approaching. What use were these GIGANTIC EARS if they weren't going to pick such things up?!
"I don't," he said flatly. DENY DENY DENY, right? If he didn't acknowledge it, it wasn't there. "It's a hallucination. It's not there. Have you seen a blue mouse?"
His cat ears twitched as he jumped up and moved to the next opening between hour glasses. The mouse didn't even SMELL like a mouse, as far as he knew. It was made from a MUG. How was he supposed to find it?
"I need to find it." Or, he feared, the potion would slowly turn him into a complete kneazle. His now-green eyes looked back at Kellen and Sabel questioningly as his hands pawed at the spaces behind the hourglasses, determined to find it.
If it was even there. Oh Merlin please let it be closeby. |
